Jonas Valanciunas has left the Lithuanian national team for good reason. The rugged big man and the Toronto Raptors are finalizing a new four-year, $60 million deal.
Currently training with the Lithuanian national team ahead of the 2015 EuroBasket tournament, Valanciunas has returned to Toronto to wrap up the new deal.
From ESPN's Marc Stein:
ESPN sources say Valanciunas extension is not done but sides are in advanced discussions on four-year pact worth in excess of $60 million

The seven-foot center has averaged 10.9 points, eight rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game over three seasons.
