Story filed to ESPN with @DraftExpress: LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball are in serious discussions to sign professional basketball deals with Lithuanian club Prienu Vytautas. Club plans to decide in next 24-to-48 hours whether to finalize an agreement with the two American teenagers.
No word yet on Limegelo or Orangelo.

Damn, getting a free education at a top American school that can set you up for life living in Los Angeles, or playing for peanuts in Lithuania in a sport that will go no where for you.....
Damn, Lavar keeps winning....

I don't think Lavar fully understands the dynamics of young Americans playing in Europe.
European coaches couldn't give a frick about a player's dream of playing in the NBA. They are there to win Euro League championships, not prepare teenagers to play elsewhere.
They simply won't play them in favor of guys that are Euro League lifers that can win them a title. They do this to young Euros that look like they can go to the NBA as well. Bench their arse.
Many a young player has gone over there only to find they aren't going to play.
Liangelo might have a chance to play eventually since he'll never be an NBA player.

From what I'm told, salaries for players at this level of competition usually don't exceed $500 per month in the absolute best case. It wouldn't surprise me if the Ball brothers ended up playing for free.
If true

Did a quick google search and couldn't find much info - anyone know how much the average professional basketball player makes in Lithuania? $50k?

This is the Patrick Beverly route to the NBA, and I don't think the Ball kids have the will to do it. Even if 1 did have the talent.

They break players over there too. Every euro players comes to the nba and says it’s vacation compared to the practices they had over there.

So the one in high school can’t play in college because of Big Baller Brand right?

3 weeks tops before Lavar gets deported.

Can confirm.
Some bad bitches in the Baltic states

This is not a big time team or league in Europe. Very small time. Super small village.
They are likely playing for free to get exposure in the hopes of getting on with a real Euro League team, or in the hopes of dominating a super low level of competition until they can play in the GLeague.

This is just kind of sad now. The middle kid was probably lucky to ever get a full ride to UCLA and now that’s gone. The youngest supposedly has talent so he’ll be ok if he’s tough but this is far from what’s best for him.

Yeah they don't have the same safeguards, and they are playing a slightly different game with some grown arse men.
Liangelo might last a little while but Lamelo always struck me as a prima donna, aka a little bitch. Don't think he lasts 3 weeks.

but the one kid is 16 right?
so he's got three years of slumming in europe before he can come back and slum it in the D-league?

I hate to wish ill on people, but I would love to see this blow up in Lavar's face.
