Thomas Heurtel

is the tip of the iceberg.

In the last years of Barcelona, ​​there are many basketball stars who did not find an end worthy of their condition.

For one reason or another, sometimes even because of their bad decisions, they went from the sky to lose their status as idols and to be dragged by the mud.

Nacho Rodríguez

, current sports director of the section, has never had a problem cutting clean.

This has been shown in several of the last outings.

In case of

Heurtel draws attention to its shapes.

Despite the fact that the Barça club would have the right to feel cheated if, really, as it is wielded from its surroundings, the Frenchman had been negotiating with Real Madrid for some time, getting him off the bus at night and making him return alone the next day from Istanbul is not the best way to protect your interests.

The base, repudiated by

Sarunas Jasikevicius

, is waiting to solve your future.

As much as his teammates are willing to keep him with them, the club prefers to find him a way out away from Spain or send him to the subsidiary.The strategy of being relegated to the subsidiary already suffered, in 2017,

Tyrese rice

, which last Thursday assured that Heurtel had to sign for Madrid.

The wake of his great performance against the Whites in the 2014 Final Four faded too soon at the Palau, where he arrived in 2016, due to a too disorderly private life.

The performance of the American was affected very negatively.

After the punishment, he went to China.

"I like to have fun"

The controversy with

Malcolm delaney

it did not leave anyone indifferent either.

The point guard left for his home in Atlanta with the outbreak of the pandemic, resisted returning to Barcelona as soon as the competition was to resume and, in the end, after leaving the club, he signed for Olimpia in Milan.

Failure to be fully supported by

Svetislav Pesic

and the better economic conditions offered to him from Italy, as would be revealed later, together with a more amiable fiscal regime, would be the triggers for his surprising departure.Pesic also had a lot to do with another exit with a bitter aftertaste: that of

Kevin Seraphin

.

In the 2018-19 season, the Serbian decided to throw him off the bench after an argument during a match with Andorra.

The coach didn't like the Frenchman's attitude too much.

"Yes, I like to have fun because I am more than just a basketball player," said the protagonist.

"A bunch of sheep"

In the end, his knee problems forced him to retire earlier this year, but he still has a thorn in his side from his time at the Palau.

"The fans are great, but those in front are a bunch of sheep ... I'll send them a brain for Christmas," he said on his social networks this week before the Heurtel case. But, of all, the most bloody matter would be maybe that of

Pete mickeal

, an idol of the Palau.

In this case, without Nacho Rodríguez at the head of the section.

There, quite possibly, the Barcelona entity did not know how to measure up.

In 2013, the forward overcame a second pulmonary embolism, a condition that prevented him from competing at his best in the 2011-12 season.

But, despite apparently having the club's commitment to rehire him if he managed to recover, the medical reports did not finish convincing those responsible for the section, who chose to rule out his return.
