This summer, R. Jarutis launched up to three students from the Vilnius basketball pyramid: D.Sirvydis (“Hapoel” from Jerusalem), Oak Tubelis (University of Arizona) and M.Blaževičius (Kaunas “Žalgiris”), keeping the wallet Vilnius “Rytas” even slimmer. )
The latter’s escape to the barricades of the eternal enemy will not be welcome in Vilnius. After all, the player was born and raised in Vilnius, having gone through the entire “Morning” system.

According to R.Jarutis, M.Blaževičius, who sent aerial kisses to Kaunas fans and received elbows from veteran Paulius Jankūnas during the last game in Kaunas, has long treasured this deal.
“It just caught our eye then. We were waiting for Marek’s final decision. He had made that decision, we just adjusted the rest of the details. All that was left was to respect his decision and wish him success.” feeling in the decision of the young basketball player.
Three talents left Vilnius’ team, but R. Jarutis indirectly transferred responsibility for it to his predecessors.
“These are the contracts I found,” said R. Jarutis, who became the director of the Vilnius club last summer. – They didn’t leave anyway. In Sirvydis’s case, it is his choice, he is the blacksmith of his own destiny.
The same situation with M. Blaževičius.
A.Tubel’s contract was frozen and he chose the sciences. We consider this situation positively, that the players leave Vilnius to go to the next level. We want the players to stay and make the fans happy, but the market and the economy dictate their terms. ”

In the context of the debt hump and the coronavirus, Rytas’ budget is worsening and it seems that the bailout amounts for D. Sirvydis and M. Blaževičius are big money for today’s Vilnius Rytas.
“It is normal practice for the exchanges received to be used for the next season, closing some other financial problems,” R. Jurutis planned.
One such financial issue today is the extension of the Arnas Butkevičius and Eimantas Bendžius contracts.
According to the Rytas boss, the ransoms received by D. Sirvydis and M. Blaževičius will contribute to the maintenance of the team leaders.

However, R. Jarutis did not want to be more open. The puzzle of A. Butkevičius and E.Bendžius will be solved in the near future. It is worth mentioning that after the club was activated on July 1. The professionals provided for in the contracts of the players should enter into force, that is, the extension of contracts concluded several years ago for 2020-2021. season.
According to sources, A. Butkevičius did not receive good offers from abroad and stayed behind to resolve the contract extension problems with Vilnius “Rytas”.
Eimantas Bendžius came to Vilnius this week to sit at the negotiating table.
The boss of “Rytas” did not hide that the main task of the team is to gather the best Lithuanians possible. The foreign market, according to R.Jarutis, will be the last option.
“We talked to coach (Donald Kairis) that the priority is to equip the Lithuanians.” Then comes the time for the legionaries too. Although it is July, prices are still too high. We cannot compete in the market at those player prices.
The coach has a fair list of foreigners, so look, let’s talk. And the coach himself communicates a lot, collects information. As I mentioned, the priority is Lithuanian players, ”said R. Jarutis.

Vilnius residents who send the Vilnius Morning – Pearl team to the Hoptrans 3×3 tournament in Palanga will depend on the youth forces. Martynas Pacevičius, Robertas Subotkevičius, Adas Šimonis, Erikas Jermolajevas, Jokūbas Rubinas and Vilius Valuntonis will defend the honor of Vilnius residents.
Vilnius Rytas manager, who did not send any of the core team players, said this was due to other factors: “There was a desire not to protect, but other problems. Some players will be invited to the national team, something else: why not give young people a chance? I don’t see anything wrong with that and maybe we’ll find another player to represent the main team. “
