Zalgiris Kaunas sports director Gediminas Navickas remains calm about Lonnie Walker IV's future in Lithuania despite the ongoing rumors about the 26-year-old's potential return to the NBA.
Zalgiris Kaunas took a calculated risk when signing Lonnie Walker IV, but the club's management has no doubt about the benefits of this partnership.
Walker left the NBA and instantly became Zalgiris leader, with his performances in Europe creating a massive buzz.
Since Walker's first days in Kaunas, many reports have emerged about the NBA team's interest in the 26-year-old.
