Jasikevicius agreed with Maccabi, things have been silenced

34 years-old Lithuanian Point Guard, Sarunas Jasikevicius, and the Israeli champions of Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv has agreed terms on a contract for the upcoming season. According to player's close assiciations, Saras and Maccabi agreed of keeping the deal silent until this season's end, in order to not interrupt both Maccabi and Panathinaikos' championship battles. Saras is willing to finish his playing career with the Yellows, who brought him two of his 4 total Euroleague titles. The veteran Point Guard will join Doron Perkins, who has agreed for a new 3 year agreement in yellow, and possibly Jon Scheyer, who is projected to be picked in the late second round of this NBA Draft, and already agreed to play for the Israeli champion in case he doesn't achieve his NBA dream.
 In addition, Alan Anderson's future with the yellows is still very uncertain. Maccabi owns an option of keeping Anderson for the next season, but the American Shooting Guard is willing to find himself a role in the NBA, and has an opt-out NBA clause. Maccabi has been reported to look for some possible replacements, when Keith Langford's name was first to come.
