Panathinaikos might be playing competing in the Greek A1 play-offs and getting ready for the most crusial games of the season against their arch-rivals Olympiakos but that doesn't deter their management to plan their future team.
Aris's American forward Jeremiah Massey has been put up for sale. Greek club lost in the quarter-final of the Greek league and will miss Euroleague next year. Massey was wanted by many teams last summer but Aris managed to keep him.
After a failed attempt to sign Ettore Messina Barcelona will be looking for another high-profile coach. Juan Laporta, the president of the club said in the press conference that the new coach will be announced after the end of the season.
