    I just realized I exactly repeated a few post in the 1st page. Two years is a long time.

    He actually showed some growth in SL, he played within the system which was shocking. He also took over when needed, I don't mind this.

    If you're struggling for points, you can be sure Vander is heading to the hole. I like aggressive players. Hopefully he improves on defense.

    I don't expect him to make the squad, but good for the Lakers for rewarding within the house. The guy actually grew a lot during the Summer League and he deserves his shot.

    Good for him. At least he gets some reward for playing well.

    He's a former C bag?

    :Kobepuking:

    3 games probably wasn't long enough to cause permanent damage tho.

    But maybe playing with a guy like Ball helps him become the type of player we'd find useful. Since he's been MVP of the G League, there isn't much more to accomplish there.

    I don't care how we do this year, looking at that lineup in that video makes me want to throw up. I don't know how I watched every game that year (shakes heads) haha.

    Youre definitely right about that my friend... He did improve,maybe the light went on some for him and he keeps improving. Plus, we need him on the team so he can recruit Wade here for Deng+

    So what are the terms of the deal? All I hear is that it's partial. Knowing how he gets dismissed it might be 7-11 clerk money.

    I understand it's 50K guaranteed. Basically the exact amount of a full G-League payday.

    WTH... The Sparks get paid more than that. Better than nothing, but damn near nothing.

    It's not like they're Big Ballers yet.

    So pretty much we can cut Vander at anytime and use our exception right?

    I remember a few years ago seeing some football player who was jumping out of a pool and landing both feet on the deck. It looked impossible but his legs were that strong.

    Edit: Found it. Not quite up on the deck but out of the water and the dude is 300lbs and the water 4' deep x 6 reps if you need it.
