The two decisions Olympiacos has to make, the Sikma-McKissick cases and the transfer moves

Olympiacos Piraeus lost to Fenerbahce in a thriller game in Istanbul, dropping its EuroLeague record to 3-3.

The image of the “Red and Whites” was bad in the first third, but significantly better from the second third onwards, when the Piraeus team gained 16 points and only narrowly missed out on victory.

Spyros Cavalieratos analyzed the situation at Olympiakos in the show “Show Must Go On” with Pantelis Diamantopoulos, pointing to the absence of McKissick and Sikma, which put a strain on the rest of the players, but also the need to make two moves.

“I think that in a game where in the end there is no one to blame Olympiacos, all the weaknesses are visible. If some things are not done, Olympiacos’ year will be difficult. One way or another they’re going to be in the game-” Ins, in the top ten, so he has a chance of making the playoffs. If you make the playoffs, anything is possible. But he will by no means be a Final Four favorite. It seems clear that Olympiacos needs more. If it stays like this it will be a very difficult year, which is most likely the case – it certainly won’t be like last year. We’ve seen too much, but if they don’t make two big additions now, they’ll be a team that’s expected to make magic but also run for a half and do nothing. They need to speed up the procedures and they understand that,” Spyros Kavalieratos characteristically mentioned this when he began analyzing the data, while at another point he added:

“He can’t wait any longer. And right now Olympiacos is waiting for both McKissick and Sikmas. And okay, it’s an organization that doesn’t throw away players and likes them. Olympiacos needs them all. Missing those two always meant everything.” else. Milutinov has tendonitis, Walkup is tired and Olympiacos has to play with certain players.

So Olympiacos needs to get players for all positions. Get another big one so Milutinov doesn’t play when he’s injured. Because if he played today, he wouldn’t be able to play in the next game. Olympiacos needs a 4-5 man to cover the fives. In my opinion it is not possible to end the year with two fives. Good players can be found. The question is whether Olympiacos will decide to take them on. There is money, he can take it. There are two choices.

So I think he has two decisions to make. And for guards. At Olympiakos they know when they will act. It’s time, there are 4 games Olympiakos can win with this squad. But I don’t think the year will end like this if expectations are high. There are players. It’s an opportunity.”
