Partizan Belgrade fans eagerly await Dante Exum’s decision this summer, as reported by Telesport. The 29-year-old Australian guard, adored after a standout 2022-23 season, is weighing NBA offers from the Dallas Mavericks or others, with Partizan willing to wait before committing elsewhere.

This follows their €5M, two-year signing of Jabari Parker, signaling a bold offseason amid a competitive EuroLeague market.

Parker Boosts Frontcourt, Backcourt in Flux

Jabari Parker’s arrival, averaging 13.8 points and 4.0 rebounds from Barcelona, strengthens Partizan’s frontcourt under Željko Obradović, who recently won the ABA League.

However, the backcourt remains uncertain, with Sterling Brown and Tyrique Jones re-signed, and Vanja Marinković secure, but Ife Lundberg, Frank Ntilikina, and Duane Washington’s futures unclear—two likely to depart. 

Strategic Patience with Exum as Priority

Partizan’s strategy hinges on Exum, whose NBA retention by Dallas is debated, with sources suggesting a wait-and-see approach. If he returns, his 13.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists from 2022-23 could revitalize the guard line, complementing Parker’s scoring.
