Anybody heard of any teams that have expressed interest in Sasha Vujacic? Perhaps Vujacic hasn’t either.
Maybe that’s why he has changed agents — again.
Vujacic used to be with Rob Pelinka (Kobe Bryant’s agent) before switching to Bill Duffy. Now, he is back with Pelinka, maybe with the hope that he will be able to attract a few offers some time before training camp opens.
Vujacic, a restricted free agent, was offered a one-year qualifying deal for $2.6 million by the Lakers, but seems to waiting on other teams to call. GM Mitch Kupchak was vague about being contacted by other teams regarding Vujacic, saying that several teams have expressed interest in Vujacic over the years.
Otherwise, it continues to be quiet around the El Segundo offices. The Lakers have until Thursday to match Ronny Turiaf’s 4-year, $17 million offer from the Golden State Warriors and all indications are that the Lakers will pass on the affable player.
Vujacic made the right decision in going back to Rob Pelinka. Rob represents Kobe and Fisher with the Lakers. There is no reason that he can’t do a great job representing Sacha. His insight from having worked over the years with the Lakers organization make Rob Pelinka a solid choice.
