http://www.lithuaniabasketball.com/news-1035-romanov-asking-fans-to-save-zalgiris.html Can't imagine even the Maloofs doing this in the NBA. No wonder Motiejunas isn't worried about Morey treating players like assets.
He's Donald Sterling on 'roids. Motiejunas was lucky to leave the team before this guy became an owner. This statement is relatively innocent, there's a ton of much more ridiculous stuff he's done or said, team related and not. The man is certifiable. The sad part is that this is a recurring thing with him. He used to own a Scottish Premier league (soccer) team, he invested huge amounts of $ into the team over the first couple of years, while at the same time leveraging the team and pushing older co-owners out, and now it's basically bankrupt. I don't know what previous Zalgiris' owners (Sabonis mainly) were thinking when they let this guy in. Totally predictable.
