Sasha to the Spurs?

[Lakersfan23]

Saw this on a Lakers forum...makes a lot of sense. Spurs could offer Sasha the starting SG position and the max MLE money of $5.8 million a year. Tough decision.

I'm sorry to say it, I love Sasha and would hate to see him go, but is there any team he would fit more perfectly for than the Spurs?

He could be offered the starting SG position (right now its Finley, who just shoots 3's anyway), since Ginobili comes off the bench...

Would there be a more annoying, pesky defensive duo in NBA history than Sasha at the 2 and Bowen at the 3?

The Spurs have a TON of foreign players (Parker, Oberto, Ginobili, etc) so Sasha would fit right in

And the Spurs really don't have any other needs to fit this offseason, he could be offered the full MLE of $5.8 million.


I'd love to keep Sasha, but if Buss has to match a $5.8 million offer sheet, that means he'd be paying $11.6 million a year for Sasha (double dollar-for-dollar bc of luxury tax). I dont think he would pay $11.6 million a year for Sasha Vujacic.


With the Spurs able to offer Sasha a starting SG spot and the max MLE contract of $5.8 million a year, I think that's where he ends up next year.

Yeah i remember an article right after the spurs were eliminated saying he was one of the players they would look at to sign. (it was on the wiretap)

That would be a huge blow to the lakers. But according to Kupchak's comments, it seems he will keep him but who knows.
