He's Slovenian. Sign him.
But seriously, he's not a bad option, but like some have mentioned before, he is restricted, and he is starting to grow as a player. I wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers resign him. We'll just have to see.
Disagree. The most pressing matter for the Spurs is to acquire/draft an athletic swingman. They've needed one for the past 2 seasons, at least. What was one the issues that caused the offense to bog down? Because once Manu was injured, they had no one with the ability to create his own shot and shots for others. Therefore, you saw a bunch of shooters standing around the perimeter. Enough already! Swingmen should be the easiest position to fill, yet for the Spurs, it seems the position they've been the least concerned with. Losing the series to the Fakers hopefully changed all that.
As for backup PG, they can get one in 2nd round or from the surplus in Memphis.

Ah Ahm Machine!
You're an idiot, W/O Odom you guys would not be in the finals. In fact, let him go, see how fast he's picked up. You wouldn't want him on Boston brotha. Houston? Nah I wouldn't want him there either.So let me guess.. Lamar Odom is a 15million dollar insurance policy?Odom causes more problems for us than he does to opposing teams.
No more Slovenians on the Spurs. We're 0-2 on trying those guys. Besides, someone as pretty as Sasha only belongs in LA. When his b-ball days are over, he can be Brook Shields' stunt double.
NOTICE: Your sig seriously disturbs my ability to read your post.
By the way, is that Shaq pictured there giving that elbow shiver to the defender?
I will become a Mavs fan if this happens.
Yellow corner: Pape Sow (ex Raptors, Heat) - Prokom, Poland
Green corner: Marko Milič (ex Suns) - Olimpija, Slovenija
2007/08 Euroleague
NO.
i don't want him.
We won't have him.
and this bas could throw his threes at the end of games already won elsewhere.
No ing way. Overrated, had a fluke year. In 3-4 years he'll be back in Europe, sitting comfortably in the bench of some obscure team.
i don't like this guy , he's a good shooter but that's it
he's not a very good defender , imo to have a back up point guard isn't the priority
agreed with the person who said....we dont need another stand around shooter....we need someone big that can help timmy downlow...to live and die from behind the arc just isnt cutting it anymore...not when you play horrible defense in the paint...stop the alley-oops, block a few more layups....then maybe living and dieing from behind the arc might make it a little easier...this old boys only needed 3 more wins to grab homecourt...go spurs go
Long, quick, active on defense, scrappy, good shooter. Sounds like someone who'd be a great fit in Pop's system. Hope the Lakers manage to keep him.
He's garbage I think its easy to fall in love with him since he hurt the spurs but seriously he's not get good. He had a fluke series and he was able to play against Manu who had bad ankles which resulted in him looking like a solid young prospect. I get the vibes this guy will be garbage in the finals. Plus he wouldn't play well under a coach like Pop. Phill is better for him he can deal with his type of ego Pop can't.
Please no!!!!! The guy can just stand on a 3 point line and shot.
Lakers won't let him go
no on turiaf, even the laker fans say that he has low iq, even tho it is obvious on the court.
Wow, everybody here (especially Laker fans) have really underrated Turiaf. The guy is a good player and only getting better. He brings it on the defensive end and is able to play the 4 as well as the 5 very competently, basically interchangeable on that. He already has a midrange jumper which will only get better. While he does have some holes in his game, most young players do, I'm shocked at how much Laker fans have underrated him.
Pretty much what's going to happen.
The problem wasn't that we had too many stand still shooters. It was that our stand still shooters couldn't make a wide-open shot to save their collective asses. We don't need stand still "shooters". But I would love to have a couple of stand still "makers".
Vujacic knocked down a good number of 3's, and he defended well enough. I'm not sure there would be so many people crowing about his defense if Manu had been healthy. But I'm convinced he's a good defender.
Honestly, though, I don't think the Spurs are going to do anything but drive up the amount L.A. is going to spend on him.
Turiaf is not a poor rebounder and not nearly the foul machine he was. I really don't see why you think he's afraid of finishing strong at the hoop. You might also want to look on the defensive side, where he is able to D up the 4 and 5 spot very well.
Sasha is a good defender and will only get better, very pesky, never gives up, all hustle. He's found his niche in getting under an opponents skin and being able to drain the 3. he will never be a great driver to the hole so he knows if he wants to make a nice paycheck he's gonna need to keep playing good hard defense and hitting those 3's. Money is a huge motivator.
LOL Spurs fans watched him for 5 games and you think you know all about Aleksandar Vujačič. Donīt think I am high on him becouse he is from Slovenia, actualy I almost hate him becouse he donīt want to play for our national team, but he is better every year and he has great work ethics. He goes to practise 1 on 1 with Kobe to improve his defence at 6 am!!! Or very often stays after practise for shoot-around.
I can't disagree with you with the need of a good mobile swingman and the reasons behind that, all valid points but the need of back up PG I think is dire at the moment. Since Parker took over the Spurs haven't had any solid back up, I think the best if ever was Beno and with that I'm telling you everything. The Spurs need someone who can make the O work when Parker isn't out there, and most importantly who can score as well and not turn the ball over. The need for this piece was evident when Pop had no choice but playing Barry as back up PG. Barry isn't in the Spurs roster to play backup PG. There's a hole there.
Udoka was supposed to be that swingman they were looking for but he's bringing mixed results so far. If you get another swingman you need to drop the load somehow - months ago we had a discussion about this issue and we thought back then the spurs were loaded in that position, the problem is they didn't deliver when it counted.
I'm strongly in favor of fixing this issue before anything else. Look what Boston did when they brought in Cassell, or what Sasha and Farmar do for the Lakers. They delivered when it counted. Farman can drive to the lane and has good shot, SAsha is a good spotup shooter and has good D. The spurs haven't had that type of consistency in that position from the bench in the past several years.
