In Part 1, we imagined what fans of last season’s top ten teams might be texting in their WhatsApp groups this summer. Now it’s time for the rest of the EuroLeague.
Transfer rumors are spreading by the minute, every roster move is either a masterstroke or a disaster, and everyone already knows exactly what their team needs. In other words, it’s a perfectly normal EuroLeague offseason.
Dubai
Local fan: So, what did you say travelling was again? The sport is OK, though.
Serbian expat working in Dubai: We’re getting season tickets again this year. You people need to understand that basketball is the greatest sport in the world!
Maccabi Tel Aviv
Man, if Kattash doesn’t deliver anything this season either…
At least we kept Hoard. That’s our biggest signing right there.
Walker can definitely fill it up, but he needs to play smarter, brother. He’s been in Europe for a while now.
Bayern Munich
We need to convince Pešić to stay for one more season.
We’ve got to find another „killer“ like Edwards.
Olimpia Milano
So Brooks blossomed here and now we’re just letting him leave? I don’t get it…
Honestly, keeping LeDay matters more to me.
I’m just praying Nebo stays healthy. I’ll lose my mind if he gets injured again.
Partizan
We need a center. Immediately! And I think Poku could absolutely break out this season.
Credit to Peñarroya, but let’s see what happens now that the pressure is on from Day 1.
I don’t follow that much since Željko left…
Paris Basketball
Our coach is way too old. We need someone younger, haha.
Does anybody in Paris care about this as much as we do?
I’m rooting for ASVEL this year, they have a bigger budget.
Virtus Bologna
Man, I remember the days of Rigaudeau, Danilović and Ginóbili… not this.
Come on, at least we’re not in the second division anymore.
Just bring in a good coach and we’ll fight for a playoff spot. Mumbru is great as a national team coach, but…
Baskonia
Anything is fine, just don’t let our players leave for China in the middle of the season again. It’s ridiculous.
Don’t give up Diakité and Luwawu. Everyone always comes after our players first.
When are we bringing Duško back again?
Anadolu Efes
For starters, I’ll consider it a success if we don’t fire the coach after five rounds.
Come on, everyone got injured on Kokoškov last season. Who knows what could’ve happened otherwise…
Is Larkin too old to carry the team now? I love him like a brother, but I’m starting to wonder.
ASVEL
As long as Parker is the coach, there’ll be money to build an actual team instead of getting blown out every week.
Either that, or let’s just pack it in. This makes no sense anymore.
That concludes our completely unscientific tour through the imaginary WhatsApp chats of EuroLeague fans.
Think we got your fanbase wrong? Send us the messages we’d find in your team’s group chat this summer. Chances are they’re even better than ours.
