Lakers Lock up Vujacic
Lakers have resigned Vucajic to a 3 year $15 million deal. Quite interesting to read that Sasha was very close to going to play in Europe.
Very weird to hear that after he has just played a season where he averaged career best figures (8.8 points) AND his team were Western Conference champions and made it to the NBA finals.Here's the link:

Is there more behind the scenes that we don't know. I mean is Sasha really content to play in L.A. I myself have seen and heard the whinging from him. I'm not sure that his relationship with KOBE is that strong. I remember Kobe elbowing Vujacic during a timeout. Also, Vujacic has complained before about the lack of gametime he got, and the general feeling within the Lakers camp. Also heard of instances where his teammates have said he is too trigger-happy, meaning he shoots too much.Also take a look at this video. It shows Vujacic crying and then attempting to elbow someone who comes to give him a hi-5.

There is also another instance whereby Bynum gets worked up at Vujacic because he doesn't give him the ball.
What are your thoughts. Is Sasha really happy at L.A? Is his relationship with the players i.e Kobe and Bynum really that strong?
