Transfer rumors are already swirling across the EuroLeague, even though the season isn't yet in its final third. Barcelona is at the center of much speculation, and Chima Moneke, on his "Triple Threat Show," stated he doesn't see Josh Nebo and Moses Wright on the same team.

"It's too early to say. I just want Wright to get paid, be happy, and get the opportunity he deserves. Why would he go somewhere where Josh Nebo is also going? I don't know. They are both starting centers in this league. I have a feeling Barcelona will have a completely different team next season. Xavi Pascual came in mid-season, and now he'll build the best team possible. It's too early to tell if that would be a good move. Many players who are there this season won't be there next. Barcelona is a good place for him. If they treat him well, then I'm happy because he's a good guy." - Chima Moneke
As for Mike James potentially moving to Barcelona, Moneke doesn't quite see that happening.
"I don't know anything. All I know is that I don't know anything. In Europe, it's all about the team and how the team looks. Playing in the Endesa League alongside the EuroLeague is not easy at all. It's actually very difficult. You play a double-header in Serbia or Lithuania, then you come back and play away against Andorra. You'll lose that game. Mike James is already getting on in years, and I don't know how many minutes in the Endesa League he wants after the EuroLeague. It's all about the team." - Chima Moneke

Reports that Cody Miller-McIntyre's agent was seen in Athens were particularly interesting, but Moneke believes it's nothing serious.
"Why was that news? I see players' agents in various cities all the time. I'm sure discussions are happening; that's normal. He'll be one of the most sought-after free agents, especially at the point guard position. It makes a lot of sense for teams looking for a point guard to go after him. Obviously, I wouldn't want him to leave, but he has to do what's best for him. If it's true, who knows… We have a job to do here, and right now, those things aren't important. If we do our job, which is to make the playoffs, then all those discussions will happen afterward. I want him to stay here, and that's the most important thing." - Chima Moneke
