The talks between Olympiacos and Partizan, despite the initial deal for the transfer of Frank Ntilikina, are dead, according to Eurohoops sources. The French guard remains in Belgrade, and Olympiacos is looking elsewhere.
Initially, there was a deal between Olympiacos and Ntilikina while Partizan was ready to release the player. Partizan then requested a buyout of $300,000, which the Reds ultimately declined to pay. As a result, the Serbian team changed its stance and decided to retain the 2017 8th overall pick in the NBA Draft.
Olympiacos continues to search for a guard addition, which head coach Giorgos Bartzokas has admitted the team needs and will not be available for the start of the EuroLeague season.
The reigning Greek League champions are currently in Rhodes for the 2025 Greek SuperCup tournament.
