THE Zalgiris announced almost simultaneously with him Olympic its sale Ignas Brazdeikis. The general manager of the Kaunas team, Paulius Yankounasexplained how they reached the decision to grant the 24-year-old ace.
“At this stage we wouldn’t want big changes, but after receiving the offer from Olympiakos, Brazdeikis expressed his desire to leave. Olympiacos approached us, so we had to find a common solution and the best conditions for this situation. In the negotiations we expressed our positions, the other side agreed and we had to make a difficult decision. In any case, we thank Ignas for the time he was in our team“, he emphasized.
At the same time, he confirmed that Zalgiris is looking for a replacement. “With so little time until the EuroLeague starts, it’s hard to find a player, but we’re trying. On the other hand, we also saw in the Cyprus tournament that the current roster can also be competitive in the Euroleague, so we do not lose our optimism“, he said.
