Jonas Valanciunas confirmed that multiple EuroLeague teams have shown interest, but said any decision timeline is tied to Denver’s contract direction, with clarity expected in early July.
The report context includes several concrete points: Denver holds a $10 million contract option for next season; Valanciunas said he will not force a move, and he also ruled out announcing NBA retirement as a pressure tactic. His message was explicit — the final call starts with Denver’s roster decisions.
Additional reporting around the market says Zalgiris Kaunas has presented a strong proposal, including a reported guaranteed two-year structure at around €2 million per season. Even so, Valanciunas’ public stance remained cooperative with his current NBA situation rather than confrontational leverage.
Bottom line: this is not an exit declaration yet. It is a timing-and-control story — EuroLeague interest is real, but the next step depends first on how Denver handles his contract slot in the opening phase of the offseason window.
