Lithuanian nationwide workforce GM Linas Kleiza met with all three Lithuanian NBA gamers: captain Jonas Valanciunas, Domantas Sabonis and Matas Buzelis. Throughout conversations, Kleiza puzzled if he had made a mistake by not going to the US earlier to fulfill the nation’s stars. “Perhaps I ought to have instructed Jonas (Valanciunas) and Domantas (Sabonis) earlier how vital they have been. It appeared to me that it was apparent that this workforce was theirs. Perhaps that was my mistake,” Kleiza admitted on the present ‘Kleiza vs Tiskevicius.’ “In the beginning of the season, the gamers don’t need to speak in regards to the nationwide workforce, so the journey was left for later, it’s a disgrace that it was in opposition to such a background. I feel that as a lot as potential, constructive steps have been taken.” -via BasketNews / April 8, 2025
