Sarunas Chitwood

Apparently the combination of LeBron James and countryman Zydrunas Ilgauskas wasn't enough to lure point guard Sarunas Jasikevicius to Cleveland.
Media reports Monday say Jasikevicius will re-enact his own version of "Hoosiers" and sign a three-year deal with the Pacers. This comes several weeks after Cleveland and national media outlets reported Indiana had dropped out of the race for the Lithuanian, who was his European league's player of the year two years ago.
Utah also reportedly made a play for Jasikevicius, but it is unclear how serious the inquiry was.
It looks like Indiana's playoff experience was the deciding factor for Jasikevicius, who told FoxSport.com through his agent he viewed the Cavs as an up-and-coming team, but viewed the Pacers as a team that can contend for a title in the immediate future.
For the Cavs, the focus now most likely shifts to Clippers restricted free agent Marko Jaric, who has been rumored to be coming to Cleveland in a sign-and-trade for Drew Gooden, and Portland free agent Damon Stoudamire.
