The search for the ideal playmaker for Gerard Encuentra's squad is taking longer than expected. Since Kristers Zoriks left, the club has explored a dozen options that have not materialized. The team is looking for a specific profile: a scoring guard with a three-point threat and the ability to create offensive advantages.
“"We are not going to sign just for the sake of signing."
The main obstacles have been high salary expectations and the players' desire to play in European competitions. However, there is no panic in Lleida. With a record of 8 wins and 11 losses, the team sits four victories above the relegation zone, a much more stable position than last season.
Unlike last year, Hiopos Lleida now prefers to maintain confidence in the current roster. Market monitoring is constant, but the club will not make immediate decisions unless an option appears that truly improves the collective attacking play.
