Olympiacos: Three-year deal for McKinnie
The American forward strengthens Giorgos Bartzokas' plans for EuroLeague and Greece with a three-year commitment.
Olympiacos have officially announced the signing of Alec McKinnie, agreeing a three-year contract with the American forward. The move is a strategic choice for Giorgos Bartzokas' frontline, as the American forward brings experience from hard-fought battles in both the NBA and European competitions. The Reds have tied McKinnie down for three years, clearly prioritising stability over short-term solutions.
The move is not just about filling a gap but is part of a broader plan to build a core that will remain competitive in both the EuroLeague and the Greek Basket League. Bartzokas specifically requested certain characteristics, and the club responded by locking in a player who fits the system rather than a temporary emergency fix. The three-year duration of the contract is crucial, as it ensures McKinnie will fully integrate into Bartzokas' system and develop under his guidance.
