“Barton’s performance would be a big positive for CSKA. Apparently, there was a serious reason to terminate the contract. » – Elevich

Moscow CSKA conducts competent selection of basketball players, and Will Barton This could have benefited the team, but probably there were very serious reasons for terminating the contract with the defender, the honored coach of Russia told . Sergei Elevich .

Earlier, CSKA announced that the American basketball player had left the club. The contract with the 33-year-old defender was terminated based on one of the stipulated conditions: the athlete has already returned to the United States. Barton joined CSKA at the end of January, signing a deal until the end of the season. The defender did not play a single match for the “red-blues”.

— Is there a feeling of disappointment that Barton is not playing for CSKA? He’s a very, very good player. I am always in favor of the best game. The “Rouge et Bleu” do not only take basketball players. They do it very competently, because they have a perfect idea of ​​what they need. Of course, if Barton played for CSKA, it would be a very positive thing for the team. It’s a shame, but I think they will still find a great player for this position. They are actively searching now.

Apparently, there were very serious reasons for terminating the contract. If there was a reason that disappeared over time, that would be different. Taking a basketball player who may or may not play is dangerous. What if he gets hurt? But you have to pay money. Additionally, Barton will not accept small amounts of money. It’s clear. I repeat, I think they will still have time to find someone,” Elevich told the correspondent.

Barton played in the NBA for the Portland Trail Blazers, Denver Nuggets, Washington Wizards and Toronto Raptors. In total, he played 679 games in the regular NBA championships, as well as 29 games in the playoffs.
