Nets would bring back Vujacic: The Bergen County Record reports that the Nets would have interest in bringing back guard Sasha Vujacic, who is an unrestricted free agent, according to GM Billy King. “It’s going to depend – all our free agents – what the cap’s going to be and what they want,” King said. “You won’t be able to keep them all, and depending on what the cap’s going to be its going to determine how many of them we do keep.” (Updated 04/21/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Vujacic played well this past season, especially following a trade from the Lakers to the Nets. He had career-high averages in points (9.8), rebounds (2.8), and assists (2.0). Keep an eye on where Vujacic ends up in 2011-12, but he would remain a low-end Fantasy option in the majority of leagues. He is only worth drafting with a late-round pick in deeper formats if he lands in the right situation. (Updated 04/21/2011).

Turkish club Besiktas says it is in talks with Kobe Bryant's representatives about the possibility of the Los Angeles Lakers star playing in Turkey during the NBA lockout.
A lot of things have to go right heading into the 2011-12 season for Vujacic to repeat his performance over his final 56 games with New Jersey last year. Vujacic had played in just 11 games with 4.9 minutes per night for the Lakers when he came over the Nets mid-season. He finished very strong as he even started 17 games and averaged career-highs in scoring with 11.4 points, rebounds with 3.2 and assists with 2.3 per game over 29 minutes, also a career-high. That said, the Nets will have a healthy Anthony Morrow back and with rookie MarShon Brooks in tow, the minutes might not be the same for Vujacic. He could be someone left on waivers in most Fantasy drafts, though he does carry some sleeper appeal if he’s used as he was at the end of last year. (Updated 8/23/11)
