Machine say he want to play where they would want him, not where Machine get most money. With LA, it is both, so Machine is happy. Machine like shoot 3 like "Whoa" and have all the ladies scream his name. Machine is satisfied with this contract.
this guy is the epitome of the typical little beeeyatch on court that talks the most after finally making a shot and then gets frustrated, pouts, and starts to foul like a girl when things don't go his way. just watching his pathetic ass on TV makes you wanna reach in through the screen and beeeyatch-slap the living sheeeyat out of him. of course all this means that he's a perfect fit for phil, koby, and the fakers so i'm glad he's stayin.
exactly, he's the cheaper, whiter, version of kobe. he acts the same exact ways as kobe on the court. it's not a surprise since they're best buddies on the team.
He is a little beeyatch but I would love to have him on my team. 44% from 3-pt range? Imagine him playing with Yao. Oh well, fortunately for us Vujacic is basically a clone of Brent Barry.

You can take your pick between the 6'3" specialist with a slow, unorthodox release that's completely incapable of handing the ball and a 6'7" specialist with a quick release that can be trusted with the ball in his hands. If it were only about being able to shoot the ball Luther would be a lock in the rotation.
first off aint no way in hell sasha is a legit 6'7...but my point was that sasha hasnt done much in his career until this season...which i believe was his fourth...and guess what...he scored 8ppg!!! Luther averaged more per game during his rookie year and his second year. but perception equals reality
He's listed 6'7" everywhere. Check minutes played. Luther played nearly 30 MPG his first two years while Vujacic has always played under 20 MPG. For that reason I would hope Luther could outscore him. I challenge you to poll NBA GM's and ask which three point specialist they would rather have. To me, it's not even close. Vujacic is more versatile, can handle the ball and has a prettier/quicker jumper. P.S. While you're doing your research why don't you look up playoff numbers? Compare Luther's 1-14 performance to Vujacic shooting 40% from downtown.
If luther is not traded( I hope he is not) I firmly believe he will be a solid contributor within rick's system. My point is that sasha sucked his first three years in the league while luther contributed his first year and was solid his second. His third was a drop off but I believe that happened because early in the year he was always looking over his shoulder at steve...the guy is not that mentally strong, but once he finds his niche he will do wonders for this team...much like the machine...problem is he still hasnt found his niche... I will take luther and his contract over sahsa (3years 15mill) anyday. If your going to tell me that sasha is 6'7 than landry is 6'10
LOL at Steve intimidating Luther. His signing was more or less a "Eh, why not?" move not some major deal with lofty expectations or anything of the sort. Sasha is better than Luther, IMO. Obviously you feel differently. I wouldn't mind at all being wrong but I just can't see Luther improving enough to prove me wrong.
What some of you may not realize is that Daryl Morey loves Machine. In fact, he went out and got his own Machine The only problem is our Machine is a little past his prime.
good news if your afraid of them going after Artest. I'm not sure about how much money they have left since Turiaf let, but I'm sure giving "the machin ' money won't hurt.
There isn't any aspect of Luther Head superior to Sasha, and lots of things Sasha is much better at. Sasha is also 1 year younger and appears to be improving where as Head is pretty much the same guy since he was a rookie. There is a reason Sasha played 22MPG on one of the deepest teams in the playoffs while Head played 9 minutes despite being on an offensively challeneged team. Now I hope the Biatch (in every sense of the word) Sasha flops/regresses now that he has a decent contrat, but the Lakers were smart to retain him (hope I am wrong here), and at 3 years 15 mil that is a solid value deal (just look at say Pietrus or Posey for comparison, or what JR Smith will probably get).
I think the success of both Luther and Sasha have at least as much to do with their team situation as with their own ability. Under JVG, we were a good 3-point shooting team, Luther included. Under Adelman, we seemed to have gotten worse on the 3-point shooting. Our shooters didn't get worse; the system is worse for the 3-pointer. Shooting specialists will appear better or worse depending on the system that gets them shots. Luther would probably have looked decent on LA last year, and Sasha probably worse in Houston.
