Lithuania NT 2012

[skangles]

Why isn't Donatas Motiejunas with the national team?? Lietuva could use this guy against the US or anybody.

He wanted to sign with the Rockets as soon as it was possible on July 1. There was some nonsense rumor surfacing about Motiejunas not being insured until he signed the deal with Houston but this was false as his contract with Treviso was still valid. Nevertheless, I guess you could argue that if he were to get injured in Venezuela the Rockets may not want to sign him.

With that said he told Kemzura that he would play for Lithuania in Caracas if he was guaranteed major playing time. So Kemzura basically told him to bugger off, and rightfully so.

If he were to check his attitude I would like to see him take Songaila's spot in London to back up Valanciunas and Javtokas but this isn't going to happen so instead Motiejunas can spend the summer playing against the tough competition that is the NBA summer league.
