Never a fan of Sasha. He had some good moments, but after the Celtics final in 2008 he was plain garbage.

That being said we havent been able to nab anyone in the offseason, so offering to come practice with us wont kill us.

He also petty much ran into a double wammy after 08. We got Brown who played the same spot, and Ariza and Metta were healthy which lowered Kobe's SF time thus taking away from him closing next to Kobe and Fisher

Farmar and Sasha play on the same Euro team?..lol

Anyway, Sasha's just isn't that good anymore. He played well in his contract season in 2008 but stunk it up ever since then.

How do you know? Sasha is only 29 years old. Not 40. He was never great

Solid pesky player off the bench at 6-7 who annoyed opposing players, and a solid 3 point shooter. This is what the Lakers need. Id take Sasha over Meeks and Goudelock

Anadolu Efes suspends Sasha Vujacic
Days before the team's first opportunity to reach the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four in a decade, Anadolu Efes Istanbul made the surprise announcement Monday that it had temporarily suspended the team's fourth-best scorer in the competition, Sasha Vujacic. A final decision regarding his situation will be given by the club's board in the upcoming days, the team's statement said. The decision was taken soon after Game 4 of the Euroleague playoffs against defending champion Olympiacos BC Piraeus, which Efes won 74-73 on a game-winning tip-in by Jamon Lucas. It was unclear from the club's statement whether or not Vujacic will travel to Greece for make-or-break Game 5 on Friday, nor if Efes were to win, whether he would be part of the team going to the 2013 Final Four in London. Vujacic joined Anadolu Efes in the summer of 2011. He has averaged 9.1 points and 3 rebounds in 24 Euroleague games this season, although his scoring dropped 72% from the regular season to the playoffs with a corresponding drop of just 20% in playing time. Vujacic, a two-time NBA champion, earned regular season Week 6 MVP honors this season.
