The wait is over! I guess the threat of Cic going to Europe was enough to push Kupchak into making him a legitimate offer (well at least an amount Cic would sign for). Sasha will sign for three years and an estimated $15 M, which is a little more per year than what Ronny Turiaf received from Golden State. This was expected of course as Cic was assumed to be the more coveted of the two restricted free agents. Well, in any case the Lakers finally got something done this off season and it will cost them too. I’m just glad I don’t have to sign his paycheck and pay the dollar for dollar luxury tax Mr. Buss is now liable for. Lucky for him they raised ticket prices. Is the Machine worth it though? The Lakers rewarded Luke Walton a big contract after a ”breakout” season and look what happened to him. Will the same thing happen to the Machine? What’s your take on the whole deal? Post your comments below.
Go Lakers!

Didn’t expect him to re-sign in L.A. Besides, he was rumored to play ball in Europe next year! Anyway, it’s a good news for the team, ’cause the guy can flat-out score and he’s a dead-eye shooter

It took some time, but it finally got done.
