Clippers close to signing guard Sasha Vujacic to 10 day contract, sources. Vujacic took physical, could sign as soon as Tuesday, sources.

Why????????

Probably because we getting ready to make a trade so getting a bench filler because it's multiple peeople leaving our team, Well that is my hope Lol.

Wow. If Doc doesn't pull off a trade I'm going to turn on him quick. As a coach he's been great. As a GM he's been terribly mediocre. We have the best combo of SG's in the NBA. We need a center or SF! Stop f***** around Doc.

This is horrible... Doc is officially a terrible judge of talent. Dudley, hollins, Mullens, and now vujacic.

I'm hoping there is a bigger trade coming up. I think we're one trade away from being serious title contenders. As is, we could probabably make it to the 3rd round...maybe.

I don't know why, he's been saying every single post game interview that he thinks he needs another Guard. We do need a backup Center though, But I think Doc may be content with the ones we have. Or he might want to sign someone and then make a trade, IDK and I don't care, as long as we keep winning like we are then I'm good.

I think you're right.

We can't win against the top teams so having a great record won't matter come playoffs. We aren't built to go deep.

Who says we can't win against top teams? What teams can't we

beat? We can beat anybody with our fully healthy roster.

People seem to forget We are 4th seed playing

most of the season without key guys.

I call bullshit on your post. We can beat any team and

are already built to go really deep in the playoffs.

We've beat the Spurs and Thunder this year. We've beat the Rockets twice.

I love how you're all ready to jump off a cliff like lemmings over a 10 day contract. Do I know why Doc wants to sign Vujacic? No. But am I going to panic and overreact at any time before the trade deadline hits? Absolutely not. Weren't you lot crying and moaning about Turkoglu as well? He's turned out pretty well last I checked. Of course, this doesn't mean Vujacic will be a good fit, but Doc deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Again, it's a 10 day contract. If Vujacic doesn't work out, he won't be given another one. Simple as that. I could understand if we were going to sign him for the rest of the season, but y'all seriously need to back away from the cliff and get a grip.

Right now Willie Green is getting minutes and playing pretty bad, Doc probably just wants to see if Vujacic can help more than Green. He's also big enough to maybe let Dudley rest some if we want another shooting wing player.

I don't think this is the time to panic either. Why not give Sasha a ten-day contract? Let's see what he's got left in the tank. He was a good part of the championship Lakers once upon a time. Perhaps Doc sees something that would be a good fit for the team. We don't know all the details really. For all we know, there is a huge trade being worked on and this is just a stopgap measure until then. Clippers are doing well without their best player and trade deadline isn't even in the horizon yet. If this were February 19th and no trade in the works, perhaps that'll be a good time to panic. lol

If Doc wants to sign him to make a big secret trade that pushes our team forward the great but mabe it is more mundane than that. after all it is only a 10 day contract. Collison is carrying an injury and we don't have a genuine PG back up while Chris is out so maybe he justs wants someone to fill in until CP is back.

I think Doc liked Morris' size and Vujacic is 6'7" too.

We've beat the Spurs and Thunder this year. We've beat the Rockets twice.

No signature wins since early December. This year and last, we've piled up wins against top teams early in the year when they're not in sync and then can't beat them later in the year when they start to gel.

At least Sasha is only on a 10-day. But the obsession with backup guards is getting ridiculous when everyone knows how weak our backup bigs are. I hope a trade is coming, because this current roster is not going deep in the playoffs.

Why????????

Can I just add to your comment and say WHY IN THEE F#CK???????

Probably because we getting ready to make a trade so getting a bench filler because it's multiple peeople leaving our team, Well that is my hope Lol.

even then, he's a guard, Sasha is not playing SF. I seriously doubt Jamal or Redick are getting traded, at least I hope not.

Since we beat San Antonio on Dec 16, we've only played 3 games against top teams, all road back to backs, two without Paul. The one with Paul we lost in overtime.

Interesting. Maybe doc is thanking him since Sasha terrible defense on Allen gave him his first ring

Too many guards.. Our biggest area of need is at the 4 or the 5 i don't see why we can't bring somebody there to see if they can make a difference

^^^^^^

Blake and CP3 are going nowhere....

Neither are DJ, Collison or JJ.

I don't understand this signing if it happens.

It seems like Doc signs players he has a man crush on such as JJ, Turkoglu, and now Vujacic.

We've been doing fine without a back up PG

JJ was a great find and Turk is doing great right now..

With that being said our guards rotation is solid i don't get the love with the guards.. we need a banger in the paint offensively and defensively not another shooting guard.

Doc is starting to irk me with these signings, I hope in his mind he knows we really need a big and has something up his sleeves to bring one here.

Look our team is doing great without cp3 and has come together as a team !! Doc has turned this team upside down !!! And he has a plan so as a fan I'm going along for the ride and so far so good !! Calm down everyone doc has this under control !!

even then, he's a guard, Sasha is not playing SF.

Crawford gets minutes at SF and Vujacic is bigger and better rebounder than Crawford. He's the same height as Dudley, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get a few minutes at SF, addition to whatever minutes he might get from Green.

People kept talking about Turkoglu as an SF before we signing, but he's played pretty much exclusively at PF. Doc doesn't seem to mind playing guys up a position from where they've played in the past.

This is horrible... Doc is officially a terrible judge of talent. Dudley, hollins, Mullens, and now vujacic.

I heard people that Turk is old, slow and waste of time but now people bashing Turk before are now praising him, I believe Vujasic is a good back up he has the speed that i like to compliment Blake DJ, jamal and CP3, and he can hit 3. unlike Jackson. Lets just give him 10 days instead of judging Doc's ability to pick a player.

even then, he's a guard, Sasha is not playing SF. I seriously doubt Jamal or Redick are getting traded, at least I hope not.

I don't think Doc will make a trade of Jamal, He is our 4th quarter man since CP3 is down. Doc give him full control of the ball together with Blake and Darren. If we will make a trade it should be Hollins, Mullens Dudley Jamison, I may include Green and Barnes if necessary.

ewwwwwww

Key words. 10 day contract. I have no clue why anyone would be mad about this considering its only a 10 day. Turkoglu was a pleasant surprise. I thought he would be done but was wrong. Hopefully Sasha still has something left.

I believe Doc is already shopping for a big man and he knows the deadline so relax guys, he has assistant coaches who knows better than us.

Sasha is 6'7, but is wirey thin and has supposedly been a SG/PG, though I remember him playing little PG after he first came to the league, but generally on the wings. You can play him spot minutes at SF though, why not. Not necessarily sure I get the signing, maybe he's being signed as a backup "PG" in the sense of just another ball handler and to take Willie Green's role since Green really can't play that role.

Please remember folks, if we really want to receive something of value we have to give something of value. That means outside of Blake and CP3, I would consider any trade that improves us significantly. (Unless of course we trade Blake for Lebron or Durant lol)

We'll have to give up some players we like or that are decent to get someone really good back unless we tag on to a multi-team trade or get a special situation

Maybe were gonna be suns 2.0 but better defense. Just outshoot everyone

Really makes no sense unless JJ can't play because Green is doing backup PG duty in spots. Should be using 10 days on D league bigs hoping to find a deal. This could also mean a trade is about to happen.

If we do trade Jamal, this is the prime time do so. He's putting up some pretty good stats. Maybe Denver wants his scoring off the bench to replace Robinson.

Just send us Kenneth Faried and we'll call it a day. LOL, but seriously I'd take Timofey and Hamilton off their hands for Jamal and Hollins.

Not sure why people think Doc is stupid. Trade is coming, or at least will be attempted (that's why it's a 10

Day)

Maybe, I would like to see some more defenders acquired though, of course I've said that since the first move of summer. I thought the perfect compliment to Dudley was a more defensive guy, but we got Barnes who is a bit of a defensive guy, but kinda old, but I'm still taking a wait and see approach, obviously they aren't just doing random stuff.

Let's hope Doc has a larger scale plan going on here.

Wtf is this crap.. If this is for 10 day contract, how come we can't try a back up bigman. I'm kinda upset with this signing

Let's hope Doc has a larger scale plan going on here.

That doesn't involve trading CP3, Blake, DJ, Reddick, or Crawford

he will sign his contract tomorrow instead of tuesday.
