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. blkexec is right about the fact that you don't necessarily have to be young and athletic to be successful in the Triangle. Especially if you're a low minute reserve off the bench. It's more about BB IQ and skill. As long as Vujacic can move and shoot he should be fine filling in. You don't have to be blazing fast or athletic to get the job done. I don't think Vujacic is anywhere near his prime self but then again we haven't really been able to watch him play. I can't imagine that he's any slower than Jose. My guess is that he won't be expected to push the ball every time down the floor, if he's in there. I'm guessing he'll be used as the trailing guard to receive the Lag Pass. In any event his knowledge of the Triangle should help a great deal in practice and in games when he's called upon. We've got enough young guys and will likely add a couple more. |

I doubt we add another guard unless we cut Saunders or Galloway. Our team is almost set, we just need to get another big.
Btw nix, why do you say this vuajnic guy is an excellent shooter, his numbers look bang on average to me. Either way I 85% support the intent of this signing. The Future is Bright!

Vujacic has such a high BBIQ, the Knicks will now unveil their new Polygon Offense...more details to follow

I think the idea is that he can be a threat from 3pt range. The Knicks need three-point shooting, and Vujacic is a career 37.1% shooter from behind the arc. A quick glance at his recent European numbers suggests that he also hit roughly 37 percent of his threes during his NBA sabbatical. |

This is a vet minimum signing.... best vet out there to me is Ben Gordon and he's 6'2" on a good day.
Vujacic is a proven shooter in the nba with championship experience. He's also projected to be a bench player for us. With every move does it have to be a +5 page thread of Frank Isola twitter impersonations?.... it's not a sexy move but when you have a few singles at the titty bar, you gotta take what you can get and make then count. 1 year minimum.

They feel this team sucks and they are still thinking that there's some better options we're missing out on. They don't accept that the rotation players are pretty much set at this point and the guys we're adding are most likely low minute to no minute players.

His Europe numbers have him at 33% overall but he was really bad last season. Hopefully he can return to his best. The Future is Bright!

He's 31 now but with conditioning being what it is and the fact that he doesn't have as many NBA miles on him as some do, I think he'll be fine. Not sure why people are so upset, as always. This is a fine move and a guy who can shoot it and has shot well on the biggest stage and won two rings and knows the system. People always want to overpay Spurs guards who do this type of thing, I've seen people pine for Patty Mills, Gary Neal, Bellinelli, etc. Vujacic could be a sleeper Bellinelli type. I think this is a smart move. If Phil signs Bynum, I'll have a problem, but I'm fine with this one and curious to see if he can be a positive pressence here. Think I would have liked the signing of someone who is veteran that younger guys can look up to or a young with potential and little financial risk. Cant really say that was accomplished here. |

So you didn't answer the question Nixluva asked you about which teams is it in the east that will have too much speed for us?? |

If we are down to depending Sasha then things have gone really wrong. He's here to fill in and play a role as a veteran presence who has experience in this system. Some young guy who has talent but no idea how to function in the Triangle isn't necessarily a better option off the bench. Sasha's not a long term answer but he might serve a good purpose in the short term. I'm hoping the guards ahead of him Ball Out and we never really have to play him much. |
