Ofer Yanai, the owner of Israeli basketball club Hapoel Tel Aviv, has made a significant move in an attempt to sign star player Tyler Dorsey. Yanai reportedly submitted a formal offer to Olympiacos, the current team of Dorsey, indicating a strong desire to acquire the player immediately. The exact sum offered is undisclosed but is rumored to be in the seven figures.
Dorsey has been suspended by Olympiacos following controversial remarks he made on a podcast, where he questioned his reduced playing time and suggested he was being mistreated by the coaching staff. He publicly stated that if his skills were replaceable, the team should release him, especially if they were unwilling to pay him.
Yanai had previously expressed optimism about Dorsey joining Hapoel Tel Aviv, stating there was a "good chance" the player would sign with the team coached by Dimitris Itoudis. The current situation hinges on Olympiacos's intentions and their valuation of Dorsey.
Last season, Dorsey averaged 15.9 points per game with a 38.6% three-point shooting percentage. He started the current season with 25 points against Baskonia but has since seen his minutes decrease, averaging 12.6 points per game with a 40.7% three-point accuracy in limited playing time.
