After swinging and missing on restricted free agents Allen Crabbe and Tyler Johnson, Sean Marks had to go to plan B in mid-July.. Part of plan B was signing a point guard to backup Jeremy Lin. Marks quickly signed Greivis Vasquez to a one-year deal worth $5 million, $4.35 million guaranteed and $650,000 in (unlikely) bonuses.
Now, that Vasquez is out of the Olympics and needs to "get back to full strength" nine months after his bone spur surgery, what's up? Hard to tell.
Mark Stein reported in his Olympic preview that indeed Vasquez needs more time to recuperate.
