Quote:Recently rumours appeared linking Latvian shooting guard Armands Skele and Lietuvos Rytas. Skele himself admitted that he has an offer from Rytas and could end up playing in Vilnius next season. But it looks like all he wanted was to get a better contract offer from other teams.
Jonas Vainauskas, chairman of Lietuvos Rytas, told to Krepsinis.net that Skele's comments were bad lie. He accused Skele of using Rytas club name in the media to get a better offer from other teams.
Armands Skele had a good season in Latvia playing for Barons and attracting an interest of several mid-level European teams.

Apparently it was reporter's poor English which resulted all this mess.
The original unedited interview:
Quote:Reporter: "The Spanish press has declared tha "Lithuanian rytas" interested in you. Is it true?"
Skele: "I dont know. I have some clubs interested in spain. I read in the internet today."
R: "This is a rumor. "Lietuvos rytas" are not you? The "Lietuvos rytas" is not you?" - now this is excellent English.
Skele: "That lietuvos rytas are interested in me, my agent has not benn contacted by anyone from lietuvas rytas. My agent will call them tomorrow and then I will know."

Anatans Sireika could leave Siauliai and become a head coach of the new LKL team Juventus Utena. The club first of all needs to pay LKL membership fee. But it seems they will manage to do that.
The career of Sireika is going downhill every year. On one hand it's disappointing but on the other hand he never was a great coach in my eyes. He's not type of coach who could change the game when his team is struggling or make an average team a contender.
