Corey did say there was more to Tai's departure and with the way Matt Walsh has been running the Breakers anything is possible.

This was already reported albeit incorrectly as going to Israel
I think it's the Webster’s here, not Walsh, who have done the dodgy deeds. Maybe it’s karma for Walsh though. In the end, they’re probably better for it. They now have 2 genuine pass first PGs in Siva and WMW, someone who can score AND play defence as a combo guard in Martin, 3 and D in Bach, and possibly a high upside microwave scorer in Besson. Far better balance as, apart from maybe Besson, the other guys can play a team first system. In fairness to Besson though, he looks very efficient compared to the Webster’s.
Mudiay was a low-efficiency, score-first point guard with poor three-point shooting and below-average defensively. Unfortunately those guys are a dime-a-dozen at NBA level.
Unsurprising, then, that he's on the outer at a Euroleague club. Still surprised, though, that an NBA club doesn’t have him on an overpaid contract.

Great signing by Žalgiris. Their struggling in the EuroLeague, they need a scorer.
Be great for Tai Webster to play in the high quality leagues like the EuroLeague and Lithuanian League.
