As the NBA begins its preseason (6 points for Fontecchio at the first with Utah), Team USA continues to build the roster with which to attack the Olympic gold and wash away the shame of the wooden medal obtained at the last World Championships. After the self-summons of various starsthe staff of Steve Kerr would aim for a player capable of bringing defense and balance, the right name would seem to be that of Jrue Holidayrecently traded to Boston after a lightning move to Portland (where he never set foot).
According to what ESPN reports, however, this time it would be the staff who want to convince the player, already a one-time Olympic gold medalist.
Finally, from our premium chat Orazio Cauchi reports a potential future in the East for the Slovenian former Joventut Badalona Klemen Quail. In fact, a CBA club would be moving on him, the Chinese championship, which would have presented him with a proposal. On the Balkan shooting guard’s plate, however, there would also be an offer from Lokomotiv Kuban which, despite being in a championship that has become peripheral for obvious reasons, would still be a competitive European context.
