Dubai BC GM discusses Thomas Walkup interest and EuroLeague outlook
Dejan Kamestenijević, General Manager of Dubai BC, has discussed the club's strategic goals and its interest in several EuroLeague players. A primary focus is the pursuit of playmaker Thomas Walkup. Kamestenijević stated that any potential move for the guard depends entirely on an agreement with Olympiacos or whether Walkup is released from his current contract.
Regarding EuroLeague competition, Kamestenijević expressed support for Panathinaikos' reported interest in NBA star Nikola Jokić, noting that such high-level moves would benefit the league. He also addressed criticisms regarding Dubai BC's budget, emphasizing that the club aims to bring quality and methodology to the league rather than just financial influence.
Additionally, the GM identified Panathinaikos and Olympiacos as major favorites for the upcoming EuroLeague season. He noted that while Dubai BC has a significant budget, their priority remains building a competitive roster through strategic acquisitions.
