Knicks, Sasha Vujacic Agree To Deal
July 31st at 1:11pm CST • By Chuck Myron
The Knicks and Sasha Vujacic have agreed to a one-year deal, league sources tell Shams Charania of RealGM (Twitter link). David Pick of Eurobasket.com reported Thursday that the sides had engaged in talks. The 31-year-old has appeared in only two NBA games since the 2011 lockout, but it appears his connection with Knicks team president Phil Jackson, Vujacic’s coach when they were with the Lakers, has drawn him back to the Association.

I repeat....every Internet report this off season has been false. All they do is get fans pissed off and calling Phil a ****ing idiot, then turns out it's not true or it never happened.

Grain of salt

The guy with the tweet is legitimate. I believe he works for eurobasket. He doesn't post sensational stuff or inaccurate stuff that I am aware of.

Frank Isola said greg Monroe was a lock. Then Monroe basically says he never considered the Knicks at all.

Reports said the Knicks were going to trade the pick and we were high on trey Lyles.

Not one rumor that the Knicks were trying to trade for another first rounder.

Reportedly, LaMarcus canceled the meeting worn the Knicks then LaMarcus came out and admitted the Knicks canceled the meeting.

Anybody who drafts Kristaps based on a mixtape should be fired. Then it turns out the kid is good and the virtual unknown was scouted for 2 years by the Knicks.

Melo hated the draft and is angry. Phil won't communicate with him. But Kristaps comes out that melo texted him on draft night and was involved in the interview when he had his workout.

Not one report that the Knicks were interested in O'Quinn, Derrick Williams, Afflalo or Robin....

i know I'm missing something but I'm just tired of all these nobody writers posting garbage just to get more his on the Internet.

after saying all that, if the Knicks signed Sasha so be it. That would make it 95% of all reports are inaccurate against the knicks

Good post

That's one way to get Kobe to respect you.

Also, if he played in Spain, maybe he helps Porzingis transition, too.

I'm totally fine with this move.

Maybe we can ask Luke Walton to come out of retirement.

Maybe he still has a little gas left. 31 isn't that ancient for a low minute shooter off the bench. Sasha is kind of a safety blanket. They still need to find a young guard for the future, but I guess they think Sasha can fill in for the short term.

31 is your prime......As long as you have been injury free, thats the age when your physical and mental basketball IQ comes together. I was invited to an NBA camp at 29......At 24 I didn't have the confidence or IQ. In my early 30's, I was unstoppable. I don't understand how people call someone thats 31 old. Plus in this system, you can be 45.....As long as you have a jumper and know how to pass.

Interesting point, I wonder when you start playing so young with all the wear and tear on the body, if your "prime" is indeed 27 ish. NBA guys seem to reach their peak around there, at least physically. They still get better with their understanding, so I'd say 27-31 in the NBA. If you have a late start, less wear on you, perhaps that can be pushed back.
