Lithuanian media says that Å aras is training with the rest of PAO's players. Does that mean he is still waiting for Obradovic to change his mind regarding Å aras? Or is he planning to stay in Athens but with another team?
I got no idea. The chances are that it is a solution for both sides. Saras keeps training with PAO who doesn't have 9 international players at the moment and PAO does courtesy to Saras by letting him use their facilities...

According to a blog which has "inside" info, Obradovic apparently wants Saras and Romanov doesn't. The author doesn't say whether Romanov didn't want Saras at all or he only wanted him for a ridiculous contract.

Maccabi, still, needs a Gaurd. if Saras won't find a team, maybe he'll be cheap to Maccabi.
Bullock presented in Seville.Bullock will be the reference of the new Cajasol this season.
Le Mans signs former NBA player Alex Acker.
Bogdan BogdanoviÄ, a young prospect from KK Žitko, born 1992, is very close to sign an agreement with Partizan Belgrade. Dragan TodoriÄ confirmed they are negotiating with BogdanoviÄ.Partizan is also interested in a new PF.There is nothing new about Aleksandar RaÅ¡iÄ. Partizan still has offers from Trabzonspor and Le Mans on the table.

There is still room for another guard there.
The problem is that Saras can't stay healthy anymore. So he has to accept a lot less money than he wants. He's just not worth that kind of money now. This isn't just the issue with PAO, but also with Maccabi and Zalgiris. Saras has to grasp that even though those three clubs can all use him and even in some way might need him..........they won't pay him the money he wants.
He's going to have to accept less money or retire. Since the money seems so important to him (understandable with a new child), then he needs to find a club that believes he is still worth something a little less than that asking price of his. Since retiring would not meet his money demands obviously. If I was him I would look for one of the Russian clubs. They are known to overspend. He might get closer to what he wants from one of them possibly. If not, then he just has to accept a lot less money.
I am sure for example, that if he accepted like a 300,000 euros salary that teams would sign him.
I don't think Å aras is that worthless already. If he can still run (he's on training, so he thinks he can) he's till a top player in Europe. You simply can't find such smart and such talented player, specially at the given time. It seems like he can be effective at offensive end even if he's literally walking. If he can improve his physical shape just a little bit (compered to the one we saw in A1 finals) I would want him on the team, even if my team would be Barsa.

He's injury prone, he can't play defense, and he's good for about 10 minutes a game these days. I don't think he's worth more than 300,000 a season at this point.

Injury prone? As I know, he was injured only last season in all his career, and played well in the Greek Play-off.
Saras is the biggest ever winner in Europe since 2000's. smart, intelligence and game passion you can't take from him even in 45 years old.

The last 2 years Saras was almost weekly having some kind of injury.
Maccabi is near to sign Kirk Penney (30, 1.91). all the terms are close, but first of all, MTA must releace Green or Foote from their roster.
Lottomatica Roma reached an agreement with Euroleague reigning champion Regal FC Barcelona to get shooting guard Nihad Djedovic on loan until the end of the 2011-12 season.

Is it really as serious as u say that only releasing a player stands between Maccabi and Penney?

I would say Penney is more like 1.99 to 2.00 than he is 1.91.
