Chris Jones, a former Hapoel Tel Aviv guard currently playing for Crvena Zvezda Belgrade, has reportedly received a "once-in-a-lifetime" offer from Greek club PAOK Thessaloniki. The proposed contract is worth an astonishing three million euros per season, which would place him among the highest earners in European basketball. PAOK is seeking to strengthen its point guard position and views the 33-year-old American as a prime candidate.
The Greek team has officially approached Jones' representatives, signaling their serious intent with this significant financial proposal. However, securing Jones' signature is expected to be a challenging endeavor. He currently has a contract with Crvena Zvezda, where he plays a crucial role in their offense, and it remains uncertain if he would be willing to leave the EuroLeague for the EuroCup.
