Zalgiris Kaunas Reportedly Offers Jonas Valanciunas Two-Year Deal With €2 Million First Season

A July 8 termination window in his Nuggets deal could open the door for a summer return to Europe.

Overview

Eurohoops reports Zalgiris has offered Valanciunas a two-year contract that would pay €2 million in the first season.
The report cites Lithuanian journalist Jonas Lekšas, who says talks are moving in a positive direction.
Valanciunas remains under a Denver Nuggets contract that can be ended this summer under a clause that pays him $2 million if exercised by July 8, 2026.
BasketNews has reported that several EuroLeague clubs are tracking his status, with Zalgiris among the teams interested.
The contract date was moved from June 30 to July 8 to allow trades after free agency opens July 1, which could smooth a path back to his native Lithuania.
