Great post man, I don't have so deep knowledge but I will give my shot. Just a question, what is the limit of foreigners in LKL? Is there a separation between EU and non-EU players? What will be the budget? Anyway, I will make a little "Basketball Manager" squad.
PG: I would definitely keep Kalnietis. He did well I think last season and even if an American PG would be brough (unlikely) I'd like him as backup, it's nice to see local players who stay in a club for long times and things like this create bond between fans and team. I have watched Janavicius live once, great talent, time to get some playing time. Maybe Zalgiris can try and bring back DJ Collins? A great signing would be Billy Keys. I see Capin is not liked by many Zalgiris fans, no wonder.
SG: I would let Brown go too. He is such a ballhogger. He puts self before team and is not physically up to defence anymore. If Hansen doesn't get some good offers from ACB I would like him to replace Brown. I hear ASVEL might release Lukauskis, would be an interesting case for Zalgiris as he is Lith. There are also two very interesting Greek cases that would suit Zalgiris perfectly, Kalabokis or Charalabides.
SF: I want Maciulis back! But unlikely with the season he had in Italy. But I got no complaints from Salenga, he stepped up big time this year. Still this position needs some addition.
PF: Definitely let Watson go. Tanoka #2. Would be great if Zalgiris could afford Andre Hutson. How about Marc Salyers?
C: Hopefully Begic gets serious next season, but I doubt it. Klimavicius staying right? Now, if Buratinov wants to sell season tickets for the new arena he should go for Papadopoulos. The guy is leaving PAOK and Greece and says he wants to play as a starter for a Euroleague club. Knowing the guy the idea of playing at the same position and club as his beloved Sabonis he would definitely accept. Money is not an issue for him. Screw Archibald. You know there is something wrong when the most historic Lithuanian team is looking for a Brit to start at C position. Another good case could be Levon Kendall.
