Right, thats what I thought. 2nd rounders can only get 2 year deals under regular rules. 1st year guaranteed, 2nd year team option. Knicks have Lampe for 3 years because they used mid level on him and thus avoided 2 year contract. So they have his bird rights.

First of all his name is Dejan BODIROGA and second he plays not for Argentina (Ginobili's country), but for Serbia&Montenegro or former Yugoslavia (Divac, Stojakovic, Drobniak, Jaric, Radmanovic). And in his NT Bodiroga was a leader always and not Stojakovic.

He was the best player in Europe, I think. Till this season. Now there is Andres Noccioni (Argentina) or Arvydas Macijauskas (Lithuania) or Sarunas Jasikevicius (Lithuania). I cant say that they have passed Bodiroga yet, but they have good chances. And Jasikevicius have turned many NBA offers down, though he would be among 10 best PGs in NBA. He feels comfortable here in Europe, with normal money and normal playing time.

About another guy I mentioned Macijauskas. Hes the best FT shooter in the world. Now has hit 87 in a row and NBA record is 97, right? Macijauskas plays today and on Thursday, so I think record will be dead in a week. So what I wanted to say, guy is absolute NBA type scorer and I think he could score like 10-15 in his first year and later 20 ppg, of course if he has normal PT, but will he go to NBA? He wanted that, but no team drafted him year ago, so I think he chose the way: "OK you dont want me, so fuc-k you all, Im staying here in Europe" and he signed 3 years contract with TAU, where Nocioni and Scola, two Argentinians who are also considered as NBA prospects, play. Hes the best scorer after 3 gamedays in Euroleague. Of course hes also first in FT shooting and hes first by fouls made on him. Macijauskas is second in Value ratings, of course after Arvydas Sabonis (Lithuania), who shows that at 38 (soon 39) hes still the best European player ever.

Zalgirinis

I have seen him play few times. Last time 3 days ago when he played with Skipper in Euroleague vs my team Zalgiris Kaunas (Sabonis team). Vujanic came of the bench as sixth man, but loged 32 minutes. I really didnt understand which guy on that team was PG. One attack one, second other...

Vujanic was playing good, he was very confident, took shots when it was sure he will hit it and scored 18 points. Second in team after 21 by Hanno Mottola. Vujanic scored incredible high trajectory triple over big hand of Sabas at the second quarter's buzzer. Well, as I was supporting my team and not looking what one or other player of opposite team is doing, I cant say much, but Vujanic left better impression when last time I saw him in European Championship this September where he and his team Serbia&Montenegro were eliminated by Lithuania.

From those times (and highlights from last season) I had seen him, I made an impression of him like scorer and not PG. Jaric was always a scorer first, but playing some years at PG position made him normal PG now. As Vujanic is only 190 cm, he cant play SG, usually we say "SG in a PG body", but hes not that. He can handle the ball, he can dish, but scoring is his first option. I dont know what can he bring to Knicks, cause last time I've seen Knicks were in NBA finals vs Spurs , but looking to stats every day I think he could be starting PG. I mean Eisley or Ward are so...

BOw Milos plays in Bologna so I can see him lots of time on tv.. I have to say is not a pure pg...is more of an undersized Sg, with superb Pg skills.. He passes very well and can be a leader.. Plus he has a great shot..I think he could alredy be NY starting PG.. Can really put on 20p per game..
