The Montenegrin Hispanic rejects the salary cut proposed by the club and alters the club’s fantastic project.
On paper, the Barcelona of Conversation Jasikevicius He is once again called to aspire to everything. Last season they won the ACB League and the King’s Cup, and fell to Efes in the Euroleague final. Its staff, with many new features, is once again among the most valued. The technician has facilitated the exits of Artem Pustovyi, Vctor Claver, Adam Hanga and Leo Westermann (none entered his plans) and Leandro Bolmaro has made the leap to the NBA, but they have arrived Sertac Sanli, Rokas Jokubaitis, Nico Laprovittola and Nigel Hayes, besides, of course, the option of continuity of Pau Gasol which, for now, is not ruled out.
However, the open conflict with Nikola Mirotic, who does not want to know anything about the salary cut that the club is asking for, endangers the future of a section that takes the same path as that of football. In addition, the sounded misstep against Manresa, in the final of the Catalan League, has unleashed uncertainty around a team that, on Saturday, in the semifinals of the Super Cup and against Valencia Basket, starts the season with suspicions.
The very delicate situation of the Barcelona box forces to ask for discounts. For now, Cory Higgins and Lex Abrines They have agreed to reduce their emoluments, but Mirotic, who considers that he has already made several financial efforts, does not want to accept the proposal that the entity has transferred to him. Despite speculation about a possible breakup, all parties want to reach an agreement. Not surprisingly, the Spanish-Montenegrin even wants to stay and live in Barcelona.
But for now, the positions are far apart and that is also a serious setback for Bara. If Mirotic does not agree to reduce his salary again, it will be very difficult to extend that same request to colleagues whose income is very far away. of which the great Barcelona star perceives. And, as in football, this reduction is essential for the club. The clash between Mirotic’s plans and those of the club is another stone in the way of a Bara who has encountered a completely unexpected shock.
The Sanli thing
In the Catalan League he suffered to impose his greatest potential against Joventut in the semifinals at the end, only to see how Manresa gave him a hard time in the final. Those of Jasikevicius showed their worst face and their rival, thanks to a greater intensity and their success in the inner game, ended up prevailing (81-70). The pile of misfortunes, moreover, reached a new record last Wednesday: Sanli, with a fissure in his left foot, was held for eight hours at the passport control of El Prat after filming a spot in Turkey.
Despite the setbacks, Barça’s morale can continue to be high. The signings have given a plus to an already tremendously powerful squad. In addition, the option of Pau Gasol extending his return for another season is still on the table, although the fact that he has not yet spoken seems a bad sign. The dream of achieving the much desired Euroleague may be the deciding factor. And the squad, of course, will receive it, again, with wide open arms. It would be, perhaps, the way to avoid the bad environment generated.
