Lakers should let this drama queen machine boy bolt to Europe and just replace him with another point guard on the free agent market or through trade.

Looks like the Lakers offered Sasha a 12/3 contract and Sasha wants a Luke/Kapono type 5-6 year deal for approx 30 million. he could very well test the European offers to get more money.

Lol..even Kobe wouldn't be surprised if he decided to go to Europe.

Sasha Vujacic to Europe? It could happen
by Janis Carr

LAS VEGAS
First Atlanta’s Josh Childress headed overseas, signing a lucrative deal from a Greek club. Now Houston’s Carl Landry is entertaining offers from across the Atlantic.

Lakers’ Sasha Vujacic also has been contacted by several European clubs, according to a Slovenian newspaper. (Probably a good move for him considering no NBA clubs have expressed interest in signing the restricted free agent).

Kobe Bryant said he wouldn’t be surprised if Vujacic takes the money and runs to Europe (if the rumors are true) considering the Lakers aren’t offering him more than a qualifying one-year deal worth $2.6 million.

“It depends on how much money they’re throwing at him,” Bryant said. “You got rules (NBA’s salary cap), so you’re playing with an uneven playing field. So if they want to throw a boatload of money at him.”

Such as two years, $50 million? That’s the amount Bryant jokingly said it would take for him to leave the Lakers and play in Europe.

“If he gets that, I’m calling Rob Pelinka (his and Vujacic’s agent) right now (and telling him) you better get me $150 million for two years,” he said laughing.

Recently, Kobe said he was optimistic the Lakers could sign Vujacic.

I think this one is a lot more likely than the Biedrins rumors. The difference in money Vujacic could receive, is quite a bit more than the difference Biedrins may receive.

Exactly. Turiaf is already a hit for the Lakers. Losing Vujacic would put another dent in L.A.'s armor, as they would miss his defense and 3-point shooting greatly.

Losing your two best reserves is not a good way to start trying to get back to the NBA Finals.

No it isn't. His replacement is Coby Karl. For every player leaving for Europe, a cheap nbdl player will replace him.

Please leave Vujabitch.

If Coby Karl is your replacement for Sasha Vujacic, you are not going to win a championship.

Good cause he can't guard Ray Allen.

12/3 imo is a very fair offer , he is not worth 5-6 million but I can see why he is asking it ater what guys like Kapono got.

They must be running out of orange cones over there.

But in all serious as a anti-laker fan I would be glad to see them lose 2 key bench players.

This is awesome. If all the weak competitors keep going to Europe the NBA will only get stronger.
