Basketball: Two Americans sign for Olympiakos

Cup winners Olympiakos announced itheir first two signings for the new season, acquiring a couple of US players in Kyle Hines and Kalin Lucas, following a series of departures from the club's roster.




Hines is a 25-year-old center who starred at German champions Bamberg last season having graduated from North Carolina.


Olympiakos announced his signing on Friday, and a day later they confirmed the acquisition of Lucas, too.


Lucas is only 22 years old. He is a guard and comes straight from the Michigan State Spartans, with which he played at the NCAA finals in 2008-09.


The Reds are also reported to have reached an agreement with forward Michalis Pelekanos for one more season. The 30-year-old Greek will get 150,000 euros for the 2011-12 season.
