When asked about his recently extended contract with "ลฝalgiris," player ฤลพuolas Tubelis offered a witty reply. He suggested he might be one of the more sensible individuals to invest such funds, but ultimately indicated a preference for distributing the money to family or those in need, deflecting a direct answer about his personal financial plans.
No, I'll probably be one of the smarter ones who invests such money. I'm a good person, I like to give away, I don't know, to relatives or those who need it.
