The Los Angeles Lakers are actively seeking out a trade partner willing to take on the final year of Sasha Vujacic’s deal, according to Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Windhorst says the Lakers offered the Cleveland Cavaliers Vujacic and a first round pick for Delonte West and are using that same offer to entice other teams into taking Vujacic of their payroll.
A source close to the situation confirmed this report to NBA News and Rumors.
Windhorst says that there is a “decent chance” that the Lakers will move Vujacic before the season begins.
The Lakers have had an active off-season and with Derek Fisher staying in town, Steve Blake, Matt Barnes, and Devin Ebanks coming along, and Shannon Brown likely to re-sign, there is little room for Vujacic on Los Angeles’ roster, especially considering the designated shooter hasn’t had much success doing just that over the past two years.
