Kolossos Rodou is in the process of completing a high-profile signing as the club is close to an agreement with the former NBAer in Ty Lawson. He would join the team for the rest of the season.
An important factor was the fact that coach Ilias Kantzouris has a personal relationship with the player, as he worked with him in Kaunas during the 2011 lockout when he was an assistant on the Zalgiris bench.
Lawson played in the NBA from 2009 to 2018, playing for the Nuggets, Rockets, Pacers, Kings and Wizards. His best season was in 2013-14 when he averaged 17.6 points and 8.8 assists for Denver.
He last played for the Chinese team Fujian Sturgeons, logging 27.3 points, 8.7 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game.
