Olympiacos: Several Departures Expected – Dorsey and Papanikolaou Decisions

Significant changes are expected in the Olympiacos roster at the end of the season, with at least three or five players likely to depart. Monte Morris and Cory Joseph are under question, while Shaquille McKissic will remain only if Bartzokas continues as coach. Alec Peters will stay only if he doesn't find a better offer and there is no change of coach. Donta Hall is likely to leave, as his position in the roster is limited due to the return of Milutinov and Fall. In contrast, Tyler Dorsey is a priority for contract renewal, but discussions have not yet begun. The case of Kostas Papanikolaou is more complex, as he is an important player for the team, but he wants to have an active role and not just a symbolic one. Last year he was offered a contract extension with reduced pay, which he rejected. The Olympiacos management will try to keep Dorsey and find solutions for the other players, taking into account the needs of the team and the financial possibilities.
