Georginho de Paula and Lucas Dias are close to leaving Sesi Franca Basquete after the NBB pentacampeonato. The duo, a constant presence in Brazilian national team calls, has a deal in place with Mogi Basquete for the next two seasons. The Franca management considers it unlikely that the players, considered idols of the fans, will stay, although they have not officially confirmed their departures. In interviews after the national title win on Sunday, the duo avoided confirming their permanence or departure from Franca and left their future open.

If the negotiations are concluded, Georginho and Lucas will continue to be commanded by a francano. After having Helinho Garcia as coach, they will now have Fernando Penna, who is also from the city. Mogi also seeks to confirm in the next season's roster names such as the armador Brite, who was at Bauru and the duo Von Haydin (wing) and Paulichi (center), from Brasília.
