If he can't even keep up with some national team...why would he be better here? Gerald Green/Rodney Carney anyone?

Re: Sasha - Cut from Slovenian National Team...
wow that sucks for Sasha, but i think its good for him. He needs to be brought down back to earth and realize he's not the player he says he is, we have not seen a decent Sasha in well over a year!!! Let's see if the kid can come back with a chip on his shoulder and will want to redeem himself.
2014: Randle / Clarkson
2015: Russell / Nance
2016: Ingram / Zubac
2017: Top 3 Pick?
Fultz, Ball or Bust

Re: Sasha - Cut from Slovenian National Team...
damn, really not what I wanted to hear. I had high hopes for the kid returning to form this season. I knew we should have let him and Turiaf walk. I liked Ronnie but if you let him walk, let Sasha too. We are giving him way too much money to suck on our bench. Now what....hope that Ammo can get us 10 points or so? Yeah right, our boys just better be ready to pick up the slack for these two

Re: Sasha - Cut from Slovenian National Team...
ohhh boy. Will it be good for him to get a reality check, or will it hurt his confidence and actually make him worse? Does this have anything to do with the injury?

I was watching the 08 finals and even though I have seen the game, rewatching it pissed me off specially when he was getting blown away by Rays old ass. I cant stand this guy and I cant wait till he leaves this team.

Sometimes you have to be broken all the way down, to get built back up properly. Hopefully this is a reality check for him and use it as motivation to make him into a better player.

Cut from the National team? Well.. optimistically thinking, atleast he's getting a summer's rest to recuperate whatever injury he had.

It looks like we should just include him in a future trade. If he is still around he probably won't get much play time. Shannon Brown is going to be fun to watch when he is in for Kobe or Fisher.

If he's not healed by now, he never will be, and he needs PT to get his confidence back, dude has zero confidence right now.
