Why insult Benedict Arnold like that? Did he stab someone in the back, after they saved him from a life of crippledom?
do you know where it can be found. because if that came out before the reports yesterday then this is all meaningless

I'm looking for it.
I saw it 2 or 3 nights ago and I showed it LJ and said "Too bad I don't speak Hebrew because this is about Javtokas".
I'm trying to find it again.
That's a great observation. However, it could be damn hard to both find the interview and translate it, so I guess we'll be left wondering...
I already saw the interview once. I just need to find it again.
Give me a minute.
You cant speak hebrew Kori?
Damn, more fuel or for Shank to insult you with
Thanks for clearing that up Kori.
This forum is bipolar NOW? This forum is ALWAYS bipolar.It's funny watching people jump off of a cliff over that isn't even yet, and won't be for at LEAST 6 weeks if not months. Entertainment at it's finest.
minute up
j/k
I can't find it yet. I am trying to remember how I found it in the first place (I don't normally just read Israeli newspapers). But I think I sent the link to LJ on IM that night -- so I'm waiting til he gets home to see if he still has the link (I can't find it on my computer and I gave his computer a quick look but didn't see it).
He's playing basketball right now, so I have to wait for him to get back.
There were reports a week or so ago that Robertas did not want to come to the NBA and sit on the bench. This is not really any new news.
Secondly, he will want a contract before he joins his national team practice. I have no idea where people came up with the notion that he or the Spurs would wait until after the WC. The Spurs will finalize their roster long before mid-September and players will want contracts in hand before they start to practice with their teams.
Why all the bridge-jumping-- Maybe Scola is coming. Wouldn't you rather have him than Robertas anyway??
Also, the speculation that he would not be returning to his current team does not impy he was leaving for the Spurs. Maybe it was because he was leaving for Maccabi.
And as for sources, unless the source is with the player, the source has no clue what is really going on. Team sources help with things like the draft or possible trades, but when it comes to players signing contracts, only those really close to them really know. Robertas signed his deal at the same time last year- long before he could sign with the Spurs- because he wanted a guarantee. By the time Nazr is dealt with etc... in July, it may simply be too late into the summer for Robertas' time schedule. He has no contract right now anywhere.
Actually the article yesterday did imply he was leaving for the Spurs.
Not necessarily. It depends on the price.Why all the bridge-jumping-- Maybe Scola is coming. Wouldn't you rather have him than Robertas anyway??
Javtokas said that himself.I have no idea where people came up with the notion that he or the Spurs would wait until after the WC
Speculation- it appeared to me.
Seems hard to believe-- players never risk playing with their national team without a contract somewhere and insurance to cover them if they get injured. That is why he signed last season with a European team.
and this new report seems to be speculation also... its not even known if these comments were made after the reports yesterday. They could have been made before SA and RJ got close to an agreement
So when is the definitive answer coming out. All this imply this imply that is 100% factual for: Javtokas himself is unsure of his future. A bold statement of where he is going would be nice.
Exactly.
I WILL find that damn article that is in Hebrew. I honestly don't know how I found it in the first place. Hebrew is a different alphabet so I know I just didn't google it.
What I meant is that maybe the Spurs have decided they would rather have Luis than Robertas-- maybe their interest in Robertas isn't as great as some people assumed.
I also have found it hard to buy into the notion that the Spurs would stock their big men with 2 foreign rookies and a second year guy who hardly played at all last year. Always seemed to me that we would see one or the other- but not both- and isn't Scola the much better option.
Maybe no one here (including you) or any one in the media has the remote idea of what the is going on.
From last summer when he signed:
"I'm going to participate in Lithuania NT training camp, so I wanted guarantee for the next season."
Seems odd he would be negotiating with teams right now if he had no plans to sign until September. Actions speak louder than words.
How did you actually know it was about Robertas?
You read that article, as in visiting a web page?
If so, could it still be stored in your browser's history?
If so, and you haven't deleted history records in the past few days, you should be able to find it by merely going through the history sidebar.
I thought there was an article- maybe Turkish press- that made it sound like Robertas did not want to sit on the bench-- maybe about 2 days ago?? That sounds like this article's claims. But this article is news in the sense that it is about Maccabi.

Here's another poster talking abot Javtokas' situation for what it's worth. This guys from Slovenia and follows European player movement pretty closley
According to some Israeli and Lithuanian sources Robertas Javtokas from Lietuvos Rytas is talking with San Antonio Spurs and Maccabi Tel-Aviv, but he is more interested in signing with Maccabi Tel-Aviv because of assured playing time on court.
San Antonio Spurs ofcourse can offer him bigger contract, but Maccabi will do everything to get him, because of most probable Nikola Vujcic's departure--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
