There is no basis for the report, which was relayed via a podcast, that Olympiacos lowered its asking price for Thomas Walkup from 3 to 2 million euros, thereby… an overture to Dubai BC.
The United Arab Emirates team has essentially withdrawn from the race for the Texas-born guard, as after its latest offer of 1 million euros was rejected, they announced that they would not submit a higher offer.
Wockap is expected to be present at the start of Olympiacos’ preseason training on August 20. It should be noted that the player has a contract for one more year (worth 1.15 million euros) and the club’s plan was to invite him for contract extension talks, but not at the salary Dubai BC was prepared to offer him (3 million euros per year for three years).
