Coach Obradovic also insists on the renewal, for one more year, of Nikos Chatzivrettas's contract. Although Chatzivrettas saw little playing time throughout the season Obradovic would love to rely on a player of such caliber as the team's 12th player.
Chatzivrettas proved his coach right with a clutch performance in the second half of the last Finals game against Olympiakos, with his perimeter scoring (including a three point made after a foul) helping cleanch the championship for Panathinaikos.
Earlier in the season there was talk of Aris BC offering a contract and big playing time to Chatzivrettas so it remains to find out if Chatzivrettas will agree to continue his career in Panathinaikos.
