    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sasha Vujacic is making $1.76 million this season. And where there used to be uncertainty whether any other club would make him a big-time offer this offseason as a restricted free agent, his strong postseason is making it more of a lock that he can make much more than the $2.6 million he's scheduled for next season in his expiring contract.</div>

    Uh, at first I wasn't about giving him the full MLE, but now...I'm convinced. Maybe he'll take around $4?

    Well he won't be getting over MLE money, that's for sure. The only two teams this offseason with cap space are Memphis and Philly, I don't see either teams throwing big money on Machine. He'll be back next season, I'm not really worried. Mitch said that his number one priority this offseason was to retain Machine and Ronny, and I'm pretty positive both will be back next season

    As for accepting 4 million a year, I wouldn't bet against it. He's been in Los Angeles for quite some time now, and he's good friends with Kobe and a lot of the teammates. We've also stucked with him for the past couple of seasons, even when he looked like he belonged nowhere near an NBA court. If you take all that into consideration, plus the ability to contend for a championship for years, I don't think he's going to go anywhere

    Hah, look at you people change your tune.

    If only Lamar would man the hell up, then I'd be almost dead on predicting what management will do with the roster...

    I want Sun Yue to come over even if its to quench my urge to see my fellow countrymen play occasionally....I think Coby would be great for the team cause he is yet another shooter for us and from what I've seen, the boy can hustle.

    But yeah, I'd like to see Sun play.

    With how he's played, I'd be more than happy to give him most of, if not all the MLE. He's improved by leaps and bounds this year and has been great this postseason.

    We don't need to resign him with the MLE, he's our own player so we don't have to use the MLE on him

    Good call, never thought of that. Regardless, that's still about what we should be looking to offer him is that MLE type of money.

    What would a Machine do with that much money?
    4million 1 dollar hooker robots?

    Machine has no feelings

    No love, no hate, no mercy, no compassion. Machine is programmed to destroy
