Olympiacos sets eyes on Hansen

2009-07-12 14:57

After Terrell McIntyre, Ramunas Siskauskas, Anthony Parker and Rimantas Kaukenas, Travis Hansen surfaced as a new name to be linked with Olympiacos.

Since the Anthony Parker case closed and Josh Childress is probably staying with the Reds, Olympiacos is focusing on covering both guard positions.

For the playmaker position the main target remains Terrell McIntyre though Siena is asking for a two-million euro buyout. That could even be doable would Olympiacos get rid of Childress' contract, but for now the club's management is waiting for the 15th of July, the date by which Childress has to make a decision.

For the shooting guard position the prime target is reported to be Travis Hansen of Dynamo Moscow, after his excellent 2008-2009 campaign with the Russian club. Rimantas Kaukenas is being projected as a backup option since the Lithuanian is also being targeted by Real Madrid.
