I just read that Vujanic insisting that he hadn't signed any contract with a European club. So there may be a chance he will still be a Knick come next year. Read it in Hoopsworld.com

I think Vujanic wants the NBA but his agent wants the cash first he could careless if Vujanic blows his Knee out as long as he sees the cash first. That is just a stupid move on his agents part. Vujanic clearly wants the NBA thats where the great Yugo players are.

Forget that for now hey Abdur your out there in Spain what is the scoop on Hernandez the 7'0 center is he any good any Pau Gasol in him.

You can say what you want but WHY should he risk to come to the Knicks at the actual PG-situation!?! For that small money!!! And with FOUR PGs!!! While he can play in Barcelona for much more money get more experience/PT and be outstanding while strenghtening his future position and role he will play at the knicks franchise!!!
The only reason to go to NY is the NBA which isnt that GREAT when you face weak position in a bad team for view money!!! Really a great outlook!!!!!!
Its def. Laydens fault if he hasn't been able to convince him of his role in the team and if he wasn't willing to pay him the right money!!!

All I have to say to that is - If Vujanic doesnt have the confidence in himself that he is better then Ward, Eisley, and Williams - especially after being a pro in Europe - then it doesnt matter how much time he spends in Spain, he will never be an impact player in the NBA. The "PG Situation" has nothing to do with it, its about money. He knows he would start on the Knicks, and if he doesnt think he can then I dont want him to bother coming. He can go hang out with Weis.

This is why I think he should come to the NBA as soon as posible. If he goes to Spain to play he will make 2 million for 2 years. If he comes to the KNicks he make 350,000 with increase until year 3 where he can exercise the next deal if he is as good as everyone thinks then he will sign an extension contract at least for 6 years 43 million that is least amount. If he stays in Spain for two years at 2 million for 2 years and decides to come to the KNicks the knicks will give $350,000 for the next three years with increase until his extension comes along. so he is actually losing money by not coming to the Knicks as soon as possible. I don't think his agent sees it that way he think its a good move for him but it it isn't a well though out move.

Eduardo Hernández Sonseca 7´0 1983 Madrid he´ll be the future center of Real Madrid and the Spanish National Team if he develops more offensive skills, he isn´t like Pau, he is a legitimate center but he need more time for the shoots and the feet movements. He´s a big body with longs arms and a good blocker but the best talent here in Spain is the polish boy Maciej Lampe(Real madrid) he plays in my town two weeks ago and ... What a talented child!! The offense of Maciej and the defense of Edu shall make a future spectacular couple if they develop his skills. Zan Tabak was a very good promise believe me but he hadn´t patience, he was a long time develop body and now he play in the spanish league, you know Olowokandi,Ellison,Laettner, Baker blues.... A big man is so complicated if you haven´t the discipline and working culture of Gasol.
