CB Gran Canaria fell to the bottom after a disastrous season, marked by a deficient roster construction and a denial of reality. The team depended on itself to save the season, but ended up dilapidating its options with a loss in the taronja arena and the victory of Zaragoza in Lugo against Breogán. The loss against Baxi Manresa on Saturday was crucial, as it seemed in the prolegomena of that duel. If they had won that game, or the one in Lleida, where the amarillos only competed for a while, the outcome would have been completely different. Despite this, the world of sports does not live in the past, and the horrible performance of the entity, which intensified in the last 5 months, has been determinant for this fatal point that has perverted a legacy of three decades. Nevertheless, this situation is not given by chance, but rather responds to a succession of events that have caused this bochorno. The path to this batacazo began during the summer, when the Granca took the decision to continue counting on Jaka Lakovic. Despite this, despite the fact that it was normal to regenerate the project, the bet was to maintain the same block, with the addition of adding a year to the DNI and the logical wear and tear after so much time working together, breaking the thread only on one side: John Shurna's. That exit fractured a bit of the vestuario, including the coach, who also wanted the continuity of the ala-pívot, and formed an unworthy goodbye for a figure like the one who was MVP of the Eurocup claretiana in 2023. To this was added a series of signings that, as it can be seen, have not worked or have been discarded. These are the cases of Louis Labeyrie, the worst high of the summer, Kur Kuath or Eric Vila, being the latter an urgent need incorporation.
