Zhuan Montero has transformed from an anonymous figure to one of the best players in the EuroLeague, with his stellar performance for Valencia catching the attention of many top clubs, including Olympiacos.
Montero’s brilliant fourth-quarter performance in the EuroLeague playoffs nearly eliminated Panathinaikos and secured Valencia’s first-ever Final Four appearance. Throughout the season, he has consistently delivered impressive performances, prompting numerous clubs to vie for his signature for the next season.
Valencia is ready to offer Montero a new contract worth around two million euros, but reports suggest he is close to agreeing with Olympiacos. How does this impact Kody Miller McIntyre?
McIntyre, the current Red Star Belgrade player, has been linked with Olympiacos for some time. While some say the deal is nearly finalized, the signing of Montero is unlikely to affect McIntyre's plans. The reason is that most of Olympiacos' guards will have their contracts expire this summer, including Monte Morris, Kori Joseph, Tyler Dorsey, Sekou McIntyre, and Tomas Vokap and Kinan Evans, with the latter two having the option to extend their stay. It is certain that Vokap will extend his contract, while Evans is expected to leave.
Thus, by signing Montero, Olympiacos would complete the playmaker position. Therefore, Kody Miller McIntyre remains a strong candidate for a contract with the Piraeus club.

Olimpiakos needs to move fast to secure Zhuan Montero, but McIntyre is still in the mix. Can they afford both? What do you think?
