Vujacic continues to see less playing time with Lakers

Lakers Nuggets BasketballDaily News: Is there a place for Sasha Vujacic in the Lakers’ rotation?

So far, there seems to be only a limited one as a backup guard.

What’s more, it has been diminished greatly since last season or from 2007-08.

Vujacic’s line from the Lakers’ victory Tuesday over the New York Knicks was fairly typical this season: Zero points on 0-for-3 shooting in 8 minutes, 17 seconds.

Matchups in recent games have dictated Vujacic’s playing time.

“With the type of guard corps we have, with the type of bench we have, a lot of it is about who is going to match up well, and the type of game that is being played against us,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said when asked about Vujacic’s role.

Certainly, it would have been difficult to play the 6-foot-7 Vujacic against New York’s Chris Duhon or Nate Robinson, two small and speedy guards. Vujacic also would have been hard-pressed to keep pace with Larry Hughes, who is listed at 6-foot-5.

“We’ve played a lot of games against teams with smaller guards,” Vujacic said. “I don’t know how it’s going to be in the next few games, but I’ve got to stay ready.”

    He might have the same faith as Vladimir Radmanivic. Which is that his situation is that the Lakers are paying him a lot of money and he’s hardly getting any playing time. Lakers might trade him away for someone else or for some salary cap purposes.

    If he doesn’t turn into the machine soon … we might see him leave before February.

      I hope so,
      I lost faith on him long time ago. He is just not motivate.
      I guess too much money plus Sharapova is taking all his attention. F•ck him, lucky bastard! :-)

            It is not me. It is Short Dog taking my name and screwing around. I am going to change my name in the future. Please don’t listen to Short Dog and Fern dog. They have been doing this the last 2 days.

      • Short Dog says:

        Fuck you fag. I told you already to get the fuck out of here for the past two weeks since your name was stupidkobe.
        Ive been down to earth and true. I exposed your bitch ass.
        Fuck you and take a little trip to my pad bitch so I can teach you some manners.

        • Smartkobe says:

          It’s not me idiot. You think it is and that is why you were impersonating me. You are a joke. I would pound you into the ground Shorty. Don’t even try.

    fuk vujacic, we need to get rid of his ass. NOBODY SHOULD EVEN ARGUE THAT, HE PLAIN OUT SUCKS. 5 MILLION MAN WOOOOW, 1 POINT A GAME.

  3. desecrator93 says:

    Just listen to G-Small’s podcast and he’ll tell you everything you need to know about Vujabrick

  4. Lakers 24 7 says:

    I see Vujacic getting traded mid-season for a draft pick…kinda like Mihm was traded for a draft pick..or maybe we can trade Vujacic and get a steal like we did with Shannon Brown. These euro players depend on the 3 point shot too much, and as you know, the 3 point shot is the hardest and when your shot isn’t on, you’re worthless. We need more energy, hustle type players.

  5. LAKESHOW420 says:

    i hope he continues to sit on the bench until we get ride of him. hopefully sooner than later

  6. Lakersfan not justkobefan says:

    I hope we trade him for mike miller.

        anyway, i don’t even know if you the real short dog. from what i’ve seen so far, this don’t sound like what the real short dog would say.

      • TOUCHING_MYSELF says:

        Oh Sh!t short dog… my bad man! You must be referring to the name! Haha! My apologies bout the 1st comment. It took a sec man. See, I picked this name because some fool named Touch_Me was getting a little crazy and rowdy, so I took this name to mess with him a little and it just stuck ever since. Anyway, again… my bad about the comments before.

        Alright dog, keep going on doing what you do.
