Partizan\u2019s situation isn\u2019t the best. Despite beating Hapoel Tel Aviv in one of the best games of the season<\/a>, the Belgrade team is near the bottom of the EuroLeague standings (8-16).<\/p>\n

Following Obradovic<\/a>\u2018s departure, Pe\u00f1arroya is the new coach. Ostoja Mijailovic, president of Partizan, spoke about the team\u2019s problems, singling out a couple of players.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartizan\u2019s problem is called Jabari Parker, let\u2019s not lie. Parker and Milton have almost five million gross\u201c, he said, according to Mozzart Sport.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you think we should terminate his contract? If we terminate it tomorrow, we have to pay him five million at once; that\u2019s how we do it in installments. When he has a two-year contract, it\u2019s paid monthly, and when it\u2019s terminated, it has to be paid immediately\u201c, Mijailovic added.<\/p>\n

He commented that, instead of terminating his contract, the coach did what he had to do.\u00a0\u201cThat\u2019s the coach\u2019s job, and I think he kicked him off the team\u201c, he commented.<\/p>\n

He also spoke about a possible \u201csabotage\u201d of Zeljko Obradovic<\/a> from within the locker room, pointing to a possible culprit who has already left Belgrade.\u00a0\u201cWe dismissed the player we believed had done it,\u201d he said, referring to Tyrique Jones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By\u00a0Javier Molero\/ jmolero@eurohoops.net Partizan\u2019s situation isn\u2019t the best.
