After not joining a EuroLeague team this season, Jeffery Taylor signed with a new team in Lithuania last week. The head coach of the BC Wolves team, Rimas Kurtinaitis, revealed some interesting details about the offers the guard possibly received.

"As far as I heard, he had an offer from Barcelona, but you know the situations when players want to transfer from Real Madrid to Barca and vice versa. It's difficult or sometimes even impossible both in basketball and football," the Lithuanian specialist said.

"He had some offers from Turkey. [The signing] has more to do with Rimantas Kaukenas [BC Wolves president]. [Taylor's] from Sweden, he had some connection, they know each other, they've played together," Kurtinaitis explained.

Taylor arrived in Lithuania just yesterday and successfully passed the medical check. Although he was registered for the match against Lietkabelis Panevezys today, he didn't play a single minute on the court.

"I don't know the details, I'm a coach. There are separate people who work on it and talk with the agents. I have no idea what was offered to him and how much he costs," Kurtinaitis said about the offer Taylor might have received.
