Summer Signings and Rumours vol. IV

I think that you are joking...

Nemanja Bjelica has multi-year contract with Red Star and he earns less than 100k per season there. They wont let him, except if they bankrupt...

I really think they are bankrupt! When I first heard about this Bjelica thing, I didn't wanna believe it, I really thought that they would sell him for big money to some big club, but I talked to about 15 people who I was sure they wouldn't be wrong, and they all confirmed it! It will be good for Nemanja, he will grow a lot in Vilnius playing in Euroleague, and I really think that they will try to use him like they did Eidson, but I don't know what Red Star is getting out of it, how much, or why would they be so desperate to get rid of such a great prospect. Like everybody else, I'm just shocked, and all I can do is wait and see
 
Ok, time for some inside info:D:D:D

Milos Vujanic is about to sign with Murcia, for very little money (well, compared to what he's been making so far)

Bjelica (from Crvena Zvezda), going to Lietuvos Rytas

Rytas won't sign any players from abroad due to the limit of 4 foreigners. What is more, Nemanja's statistic is very poor. But it doesn't matter, because LR won't sign him.

Two years ago they've got 6 or 7 foreigners when 5 was allowed to register in LKL, so I don't think this is a problem
 
Euroleague all-time best scorer Marcus Brown, who can choose to come back to Zalgiris, has offers from Spanish and Italian top teams. Last season he was loaned to Maccabi by Zalgiris and now after financial problems in Kaunas are over with the coming of the new owner it was thought that Marcus was on his way back to Kaunas, but he still has to decide what to choose – legendary Kaunas team or stronger competition in national championships of Spain or Italy.

Source – 100% reliable.

Two years ago they didn't have such financial problems. Even if his salary is low, LR don't need big players, there are 6 of them and one will probably leave (surely Anisimovas). Finally, GM of LR claimed some time ago, that there won't be any signings for current roster.

Yes, your source is really reliable. Thanks for good news :)

Elaj do you know which Italian and Spanish team are interested in him?
 
There're rumors in polish press that Prokom is interested in Jasaitis and Jankunas, but nothing serious has been arranged, at least for now.

That's true, but I talked only about foreigners' rule and that it probably won't be a reason to not sign one more player from abroad. Regarding GM talks, I woudn't take it as granted thing. Btw, I doubt that I saw him playin', but as I understood N.Bjelica isn't PF/C

Pacesas met with Jankunas and Jasaitis. Asked them if they want to play for Prokom. They haven't answered, but Jankunas is interested. There wasn't any talks about contracts, just first question about Prokom.

Did I understand it correctly? And what about Lukauskis, Mazutis and Gustas?

The translation is not exactly correct. Jankūnas said, that he will consider Prokom's offer.

Pačėsas admits, that they are checking Paulius' option very seriously.

Lukauskis in Asvel, Mažutis - in Donetsk, Gustas - resigned in Kavala.
 
Nemanja Bjelica is 207cm player who plays all the backcourt positions. He is also called "Serbian Kukoč". Very talented.
