It seems that Zalgiris is prepared to talk with the clubs that are interested in Begic and let him go for a buy-out. However, that would work if his contract wasn't terminated as it's now (whether he or his agents were right to do that or not is another matter and until it's solved by a court his contract remains terminated).
As Kenneth23 posted in another thread, Zalgiris is now claiming that they will demand a compensation from Begic for his unilateral termination of the contract.
Regarding Begic himself, there are no news about his future. He's wanted by a couple of clubs but can't move until Zalgiris lets him go.
Now about the future of Zalgiris this season. Some rumours say that the club reached an agreement with Kemzura to be a head coach but only for next season so that means that Grigas is staying as a head coach till the end of this season. I was sure that he will stay in any case. The only slight surprise for me was that Zalgiris indeed talked to a potential candidate (Kemzura). Of course they declared publicly that there several coaches that they are interested in. Same BS as always except that in this case there was one candidate instead of none.
As I said many times before, Zalgiris will fail yet again in TOP 16 with a pathetic coach. I can even go further and say that after this failure Zalgiris will win LKL, probably rather easily and then Grigas will be delighted thinking that he's a good coach. It must be annoying for you to read my complaints about the coach but how many years can the same "strategy" last? Is the club run by morons?
I don't see any point in discussing certain players now because the coach uses probably 50-60% of their ability anyway.
