Sergio Llebres and David Hein play Santa Claus and hand out presents to 10 teams in the BKT EuroCup. Sergio was responsible for the clubs in Group A and Dave had the sides in Group B.

Sergio talks about giving Trefl Sopot a center with strong rebounding and rim protection. He wants to give Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul the fortitude to use Dustin Sleva more. For Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius, he wishes the team could take their present form and go back to the start the season - after they began the campaign with four straight losses. Santa Sergio believes Buducnost VOLI Podgorica could use a pass-first point guard to help better use the weapons they have. And for the final gift, he wants Joventut Badalona to keep Sam Dekker until the end of the season.

Dave is up and for 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys he wants a long distance threat and gifts them Zack Rollins, currently playing for Cair 2030 Skopje in North Macedonia. Santa Dave would give Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana an inside force and would like to seem them pick up Tyshaun Crawford, a 7-1/ 216cm center playing with Guangzhou in China. Dave doesn’t want to give U-BT Cluj-Napoca any new player but rather he hopes the Romanian team can have Finnish marksman Sasu Salin shoot the rest of the season like he did in game against Valencia Basket - where he made 6/11 threes. Dave went shot-blocker searching for the EuroCup cellar dwellars in blocks Umana Reyer Venice and came up with Skylar Spencer (NOT Spencer Skylar as named in the podcast), currently playing for Italian SerieA2 second division side Real Sebastiani Rieti. And last but not least, Dave wants to give Aris Midea Thessaloniki a magic potion for chemistry. The team looks entirely different with the return of Trey Woodbury and the additions of Sharife Cooper and Darral Willis, but captain Vassilis Toliopoulos should be due back soon.
