Žalgiris is shaking things up big time by firing four players! Yes, you read that right – four! Bryan Dunston, Brady Manek, Isaiah Wong, and Matt Mitchell are out, as the Kaunas club aims to build a team that will either shine or fall apart spectacularly.
First up, Bryan Dunston, a 39-year-old veteran, failed to impress with just 4 points and 3 rebounds per game in the EuroLeague. Brady Manek, who was loaned to Turkish Mersin, averaged 3.3 points per game, while Isaiah Wong, who only joined in April, showed the best stats with 6.4 points and some assists but is now a free agent again. Matt Mitchell played the entire season but with just 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds per game, he couldn’t secure a spot in the new squad.
This all started with the departure of coach Andrea Trinkjeris and the arrival of Tomas Masijulis, followed by signings like Nigel Williams-Goss and Moses Wright. Azuolas Tubelis is also expected soon, signaling a serious change of direction for Žalgiris.
These moves aren’t shocking but they are drastic. Will this new team succeed or crumble under pressure? One thing’s for sure – Žalgiris isn’t content to stay in the shadows and is ready to risk it all for a better future.
If you thought the drama ended here, think again! American basketball player Isaiah Wong is the new reinforcement, and Žalgiris isn’t stopping with the changes. This season is going to be a rollercoaster ride for fans.
So, dear readers, what do you think? Did Žalgiris make the right call or is this the beginning of the end? Drop a comment, crack a joke, or throw in your support – let your voice be heard in this basketball soap opera!
