Olympiacos is interested in signing former Rockets center Tariq Black

Olympiacos substitute centre-forward Hassan Martin, who failed to play in last Sunday's domestic league match against Icles due to a fluid accumulation in his knee joint, will also miss at least two Europa League games against Europa Berlin and Fenerbahce. Martin, as a substitute for the "French beast" Farr, in the event that he is unable to play, coach Barzocas usually sends forward Jean Charles to make a cameo appearance in the No. 5 position, but the effect is very limited. With Martin's recovery period unclear and his performance in the new season dropping significantly compared to last season, the Ross and White have already begun looking for a new substitute centre-forward.

Olympiacos plans to sign a sporty basket protector who is more capable of finishing near the basket and good at blocking. Former Rockets center Tarik Black met those requirements, and he became a free agent after his ten-day contract with the Denver Nuggets expired. Although the Rosso had some doubts about his character and professionalism at first, after investigation, it was believed that Black could bring positive changes to the team, so Olympiacos finally issued him an offer.

Black, 29, has played 220 games with the Rockets and Lakers and averaged 4.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. From 2018 to the present, he has also played in Maccabi and Zenit Tel Aviv, making 50 appearances, averaging 9.1 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.

The data shows that Blake is exactly what Olympiacos is looking for, and that he has Europa League experience that can be plugged in and done to boost the team right away. In the end, whether the Greek giants can reach a franchise agreement with Black, I believe there will be an answer soon.
