The 2023-24 Euroleague offseason is well underway but is still full of plenty of drama. Here’s a breakdown of this week’s top stories.

Every offseason, Euroleague has it’s highs and lows. The lows usually consist of the league’s stars crossing the Atlantic to begin their NBA journeys. For this season, that has meant two of the league’s last three MVP winners in Sasha Vezenkov and Vasilije Micic.

On the high end, there’s a mixed bag of which NBA players are potentially making the jump to Europe, such as Kemba Walker.

There’s also the regular rumor mill drama, such as Fenerbahce and Panathinaikos fans always managing to find someone to say that their favorite teams are signing the top free agents. Though, for this summer, that’s been partially true.

There are coaching changes too, of course. This summer has been relatively quiet on that front but some may argue that Ergin Ataman taking the reigns at wallowing Panathinaikos after winning two of the last three Euroleague titles with Anadolu Efes Istanbul is still the biggest move of the summer.

Pablo Laso also took over at Bayern Munich, which has been under discussed, likely because that hasn’t led to any major roster improvements.

Lastly, there’s always a healthy dose of fake news too. We will talk about Nikola Mirotic, but a reminder that someone did report this summer that he had signed with Basketball Champions League club AEK Athens.
