Oh, super cute. She'll help him with his backhand, stamina and mental preparation, and he'll help her with missing open corner three-pointers, annoying almost everyone and the development of hilarious nicknames. Machine zing!

But really, this is good news for the myriad Sasha Vujacic fans out there. While training alongside a world class athlete — even if they're not playing the same sport or doing the same routine — he's bound to get better, just from the two of them pushing each other. Factor in that this is a contract year for Vujacic and that after a horrible season last year he needs to prove that he's worth another NBA contract, and the Lakers might have a decent player on their hands. At the very least, he'll be a decent trade chip.

And if none of this works out, at least Sasha got to spend the summer in Florida hanging out with Maria Sharapova. When it comes to tropical location sidekicks, a lot of people would choose her over Chris Bosh(notes) and Dwyane Wade(notes).

Less machining and more focus on the darn workout!! But we all know that's not gonna happen.

Seriously though... This is gonna be good for Sasha in some ways. I mean... this woman is tough!

Sasha gets a lot of flack, but I can't blame him for the contract, I blame Mitch.
