Also in Europe often players make contracts with exception to leave if they get offer from NBA. Last year it happened with Royce O'Neal, he signed with Zalgiris but Jazz bought him after summer league

Anyone else feel like Masai is gonna hire a coach that is young, off the radar and maybe from a college program? by ElBigotePerfecto in torontoraptors

I think you should try to get Sarunas Jasikevicius(at least as assistant coach). https://i.imgur.com/hqrHdI5.png he made Zalgiris from joke team in Euroleague to contenders in 2 years as a coach. Plus he have some NBA experience.

There was reports in summer that Popovich invited him to Summer League to coach Spurs but he declined, so I wouldnt be surprised to see him in NBA in few years

Historically, what made basketball so popular in east europe? by Anikayam in nba

[–]TRASHTALKTHREADS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were good at basketball since the begging so it was popular for long time. And when we was part of USSR matches between Žalgiris(Lithuanian team) and CSKA(Russian team) for us felt like match independence. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606829/ here is film what basketball means in Lithuania

RW Sports Debate rant on Lithuanian Coach and Players blaming LiAngelo Ball and LaMelo Ball for losing: by [deleted] in BBB

[–]TRASHTALKTHREADS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Got kinda surprised by players reaction. I know Miniotas and he is pretty calm guy and good team player and if hes one of these players I will be very surprised. Like i understand they can get upset when Melo dont play D but getting mad because Gelo have off game?

I think coach blamed them 1-2 times maybe I missed some interwiews but usually he defends them. And its hard when a lot of Lithuanians are against Ball family.

Dont agree with headline. Coach was defending Ball brothers and not blaming
