"Individual stuff comes after the team stuff," he said. "All I'm thinking about is that goal we all have set up for this season and that's to go as far as we can. I can say loud and proud that we're going to go after the championship. After that, we can talk about" his future.

"Sasha has always been a real conscientious ball player," Jackson said. "He comes and shoots and works on his game. From that standpoint, I would give him a chance, many times -- second chances and third and fourth chances to prove himself because I know how dedicated he is to it.

The scientific definition of a "machine" (derived from the Latin machina) is any device that transmits or modifies energy.

here's to The MACHINE

I'm happy for Sasha. He's a good teammate and a hard worker. Nice to see his efforts are finally paying off.

Now we just need to teach him to pass once or twice a game.

I like Sashas imporvements in is game.
But I also think he is an idiot for all his flopping and yelling he does everytime somebody touches him or seems to touch him .
I guess its a Euro thing to flopp and yell since we all know Vlade was so good at it .
He looks like an idiot when he does that , and nobody really takes him seriously , specially when every time he flopps he looks at the reffs like they missed a call .

Man, sooo many people were down on him and last year I started to even lose faith that he was just young and developing, but now I'm glad all those teams passed on him in trades. He's a really valuable player for us this season. Other teams hate him so much and he draws techs like nobody I've seen in a while. A little Rick Foxesque.

I never liked him due to the fact the he refused to play for our national team (or didn't feel like it), but I'm not unwilling to give credit where it's due. He's been on fire and I hope he doesn't cool off too soon.

Good one Sash, I like that pic

sasha baggin paris huh good for him lol

I give a lot of props to this guy, for some reason, he is always getting hit hard in the face with elbows, he just gets up and keeps putting up the treys.

I'm not surprised. Good things happen for players who work hard.

hahah, where is that guy?

SASHA!!! Love the title of this thread. Is he a FA after this season??

yeah, but he's the one guy i can't imagine ever wanting to leave. with kobe and pau on the team, sasha is in heaven.

Restricted free agent, I believe, so remember, whatever offers Sasha gets, Buss is gonna have to double it!

The Machine stays in LA. Hands off other teams and knowing that he has a special relationship with Phil and Kobe, i don't see him eager to move anyway.
