Tony Parker Thwarts Partizan's Plans, Lures Patty Mills with Friendship Card: ASVEL Snags Another Black-and-Whites Target

ASVEL has once again snatched a potential Partizan signing, this time Patty Mills, following the earlier acquisition of Armoni Brooks. According to Telesport, a portal close to KK Partizan, the decisive factor was the friendship between Tony Parker and the brilliant Australian guard. Unofficial reports from "Mozzart Sport" indicate that Partizan was prepared to meet all of Mills' demands, including a two-year contract despite him approaching 39. However, even that wasn't enough, and Parker and Mills will now reunite, albeit in different roles, with Parker coaching his former teammate.

Partizan continues its search for reinforcements. So far, Nikola Tanasković and Kyle Allman have joined the team, while Tonye Jekiri's contract has been extended. The club is also in talks with Kevarrius Hayes and Derrick Williams, and negotiations are ongoing with fan favorite Zach LeDay. Sterling Brown, Nick Calathes, Dwayne Washington, and Dylan Osetkowski have already departed, with Isaac Bonga and Bruno Fernando also expected to leave.
