Dreamland Gran Canaria faces a critical situation in the ACB League, with a 7-20 record and eight consecutive losses, prompting the club to consider urgent signings to prevent what could be its worst historical season in the competition.

The recent defeat against Zaragoza has left the team in a delicate position, with seven games remaining in the season. The need for an additional boost is evident, especially considering that most of their rivals at the bottom of the table have already made moves in the transfer market.
With its current record, the 'claretiano' team is on the verge of matching or surpassing its worst campaign in the ACB, which dates back to the 1985-86 season, when they were relegated with seven wins and 21 losses. Currently, they are the worst team in the second half of the season, while other clubs in similar situations have taken advantage of the contingency market to strengthen their squads.

"The need for a signing is now even urgent."

Teams such as Coviran Granada, BAXI Manresa, MoraBanc Andorra, and Casademont Zaragoza have made significant roster changes. Even Hiopos Lleida, in a more comfortable position, is looking to incorporate a shooter and an inside player. This market activity underscores Gran Canaria's urgency to find solutions.
In the last match against Zaragoza, Gran Canaria had to push its seven available players to the limit, with Argentine Nico Brussino playing 35 minutes. The injury to Miquel Salvó several months ago has left the team without a natural replacement in his position, further highlighting the need for new additions.
