He is the master of hesitation dribble.

Just need him to be a competent role player once we get our stars. They must be pretty high on him to pick him early in the 2nd.

Also not sure if trolling, but I'd say it's still Luca > Rokas (and it's not a knock on Rokas, but rather Vildoza is a really nice player). Though stylistically they're different, and Luca is a finished product (more or less) while Rokas should still get noticeably better.

No. He can come even this year, Knicks has to pay 750k.

^ This. Jokubaitis actually wants to come to the NBA immediately if the team wants to bring him over, but they would have to pay the standard $775,000 buyout to Zalgiris. If the team wishes to stash him, he's fine continuing his career in Barcelona.

Thanks, but I dont know whether to feel encouraged yet. We traded back from 21 to 25 in part to save a few Hundred grand....so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

He will play with Barcelona next season, interesting to keep an eye on him with a very good european team. I'm intriguing with this prospect.

Bring this guy in and trade Argentinian Austin Rivers!
