Motiejunas Irmantas Gelūno/15min.lt photo. / N. Motiejunas Increase the text of the article Reduce text of the article Asseco Prokom team started the season among N. Motiejunas soon moved to the current Euroleague Top 16 stage of the NBA Istanbul Anadolu Efes, Turkey published by the media. Turkey's unimpressive needed reinforcements Euroleague matches, currently coaches have to manage without trauma experienced tall Ermalio Kuqo and Kerem Gonlumo. Turkish Basketball League (TBL), a match can be registered only five foreigners, and Anadolu Efes' contains seven basketball players from overseas, so the two legionaries suffer from this limitation, especially in trauma E.Kuqui healed, and K. Gonlumui. 21 years old 213 cm tall Lithuanian Polish champions this season Euroleague unimpressive average of 12.5 points collected, 7.9 rebounds and 13.7 performance points.
Confused why at this point in the year he would be switching teams. I thought he was right in the middle of the VTB tourney with Prokom. Where are our Euroleague experts when you need them?
it's not Motiejunas switching the teams. It's euroleague team which is in top16 now is desperate to sign quality C or PF. they have two big players injured, thus they want to acquire Motiejunas till the end of the season. I am sure for certain that Motiejunas will join Rockets next year. NBA is his priority. Another thing, Prokom trefl's coach denied rumours about motiejunas going to efes pilsen. They are currently flying to moscow to play VTB game.
btw. there is a huge possibility to see Motiejunas in Houston, Toyota arena this year in June. lithuania will be competing in Olympics qualification in Vensuela at July. LIthuania's national team's preparation process will include Houston. It is likely they will be there for about two weeks. after a great season it is very likely that Motiejunas will be on the roster. Moreover, Greece team will also be in Houston as some other european teams, though still rumoured (russia and macedonia). A lot of friendly matches are expected to be held at toyota center.
just because he signs doesn't mean he won't come over. It will come down to the buyout clause the new team has. I think the limit an NBA team can pay a euro team is $500,000.
