Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade have had a rollercoaster of an offseason. From Kevin Punter's sudden signing to Nikola Mirotic's unexpected refusal, the club's fans experienced a wide range of emotions this past summer.

At this moment, a consensus opinion remains that the club lacks several key players, most notably, a true point guard and a member of the frontcourt.

In a press conference before the season, Partizan's president, Ostoja Mijailovic, revealed the plan hasn't changed, and the club intends to sign a couple of players.

"We haven't finished our transfer window [yet], we will bring one player, possibly two, but that depends on [general manager] Zoran Savic. We will not bring them at any cost. These players must fit into the ambitions and mosaic that [head coach] Zeljko Obradovic is putting together, we shouldn't force it," he said.

"The guys who left, I want to thank them. They chose much bigger contracts, which means that Partizan is a good choice for players, [a place] where the players achieve a price [increase] on the market," Mijailovic explained. "Some, like [Kevin] Punter, [Zach] LeDay, [and James] Nunnally, stayed when it was possible to remain with Partizan."

The club signed PJ Dozier, Frank Kaminsky, Mateusz Ponitka, and Ognjen Jaramaz during the offseason, replacing Mathias Lessort, Dante Exum, Ioannis Papapetrou, and Yam Madar who left Partizan.
