Losing yesterday was kinda embarrassing, but not surprising at all. Typical LKL regular season game for Zalgiris where attitude and motivation doesn't happen. It's been like that for years already, the reason it's a shame to watch it. Saw it again and turned it off after 2qtr, time wasting. I hope they won't fool around in PO, we don't need even slightly longer LKL season to start preparing for OQT.
Now it's more itneresting how the team will look like next season. This one was good one in EL, bearing in mind Saras departure. 17-17 ok, but if adding all the puzzle together it could've been better, at least in terms that we could done some things better to increase our chances. Management didn't do it all, we needed to have extra signing at SF, it was a must, it was known early enough that Garino will be out for this long, but it was decided to save some money. Not a right way to go. It could've been different story.
Now we'll lose Grigonis. Looking the way he plays lately, I don't think we won't cope with it, it's sad to lose a Lith leader tho, no such affordable players in market. Walkup might leave too, we would miss his defensive efforts, I'd want him to stay as defensive stopper, but not as main creative guy. We need more offense oriented PG or combo. Jokubaitis should stay as back-up. Barca rumors? It'd be simply wrong to go there now, too early. I don't care too much about Lekavicius tbh, only thing why I keep him into consideration is his nationality. Garino is big questionmark. He will want to go to Olympics for sure, so wouldn't be surprised to see his knee not handling full season after. In frontcourt would surely loan one of the Geben/Blazevic. Most likely latter, to get more playing time, likely in some foreign league, maybe BCL or Eurocup team or ACB only. Enough of bench warming. Hayes probably will leave too, to chase NBA dream. I guess we might need two more guys there if Rubit will stay, I'd add one offensive guy, a bit expensive one and one defensive, cheaper option to add muscles from bench. Anyway, still a bit hard to guess what Schiller will want, cause for the first time he will be able to build his team. Also how much money P-Mo will want to spend
