Impressive during Olympic Games and generally for several months, Mathias Lessort today as one of the best basketball players not to play in the NBA. So much so that his coach, Vincent Collettit is surprising not to see him in a team in the United States, even if the situation is complicated.
Because, if he wants to cross the Atlantic, the insider who will be celebrating his 29th birthday in September will have only one choice: the Knicks. Or the franchise that currently owns the NBA rights and has done so since 2020.
Of course, if there is no movement, this limits the options, but CUT TV showing that New York to the Panathinaikos player this summer, with the goal of bringing it in.
Problem: Mathias Lessort and the New York leaders failed to find common ground, which quickly ended the negotiations. Of course, in order to leave Europe, the 50th pick of the 2017 draft needs solid guarantees that he has not (yet?) been offered.
In their racket, the Knicks are already Mitchell Robinson, Precious Achiuwa etc Jericho Sims at position 5, also with Julius Randle who can play pivot. They have the opportunity to sign an additional player, as they only have 14 players under guaranteed contract (out of a maximum of 15).
