Olympiacos: Three-year deal with McKinnie
The American forward strengthens Bartzokas' plan for EuroLeague and Greece with a three-year commitment.
Olympiacos officially announced the signing of Alec McKinnie, closing a three-year deal with him. The move is a strategic choice for Giorgos Bartzokas' frontline, as the American forward brings experience from tough battles in both the NBA and European competitions. The Reds signed McKinnie for three years, clearly preferring stability over short-term solutions.
The move isn't just about filling a gap but is part of a broader plan to create a core that will remain competitive in the EuroLeague and the Basket League. Bartzokas specifically requested certain characteristics, and the management delivered by locking in a player who fits the system rather than a temporary emergency solution. The three-year contract duration is crucial as it ensures McKinnie will fully integrate into Bartzokas' system and develop under his guidance.
