Jared Butler discusses Olympiacos matchup and past transfer interest
Red Star guard Jared Butler addressed the upcoming Euroleague matchup against Olympiacos at the Sunel Arena. Speaking to Meridian Sport, Butler clarified that the previous interest shown by the Piraeus-based club does not provide him with any additional personal motivation or a desire for revenge, stating that the matter belongs to the past.
Butler emphasized that defensive rebounding and limiting Olympiacos's penetrations into the paint will be decisive factors in the game. He noted that while Olympiacos is missing certain players, they are expected to play competitively and aggressively. Additionally, Butler praised his former teammate, Cody Miller-McIntyre, describing him as a leader who is always available to help and advise his teammates.
In a separate Euroleague discussion, Hapoel Tel Aviv player Vasilije Misic shared his goals for the season, including winning the Israeli Championship and Cup and reaching the Euroleague Final 4.
