Celtic fans went Sasha for Banks

Posted on LG.net on 12/9/05.

My, how things have changed. From CelticsBlog.com:

I was watching the Bobcats vs. the Lakers the other night and I was impressed with the defense of Sasha Vujacic. He also has a nice assist/TO ratio and is almost automatic at the line.

We all know that the Lakers have been after Marcus for some time now.

We could trade Banks for Sasha and Von Wafer (works on RealGM).

Banks is NOT coming back to Boston next year. We could give Vujacic a try as our big PG. It's not like we are giving up much.

The guy has gotten 23 replies to his suggestion. My favorite:

We could trade Banks for Sasha like we could trade Pierce for Kobe but why would LA do it? He's playing well, Phil Jackson trusts him enough to play him at crucial times. They must like what they have in him. There is no way they would want to trade him just for Marcus Banks. He also happens to be better than Banks is.

Last season, I think many posters here would have been ectastic to get Banks for Sasha.
