Russia

Lampe signed a one-year deal with the ULEB Cup club Dynamo Saint Petersburg, however the team went bankrupt shortly thereafter.

In February 2008, Khimki beat CSKA Moscow in the Russian Cup final and Maciej was awarded the best player (MVP) of the cup final. Maciej then signed a three-year contract extension with Khimki.

Lampe returned to Russia in January 2010, signing with Unics Kazan.[1] He was voted the 2010–11 Russian Professional Basketball League MVP for the regular season.[2]
