    He should be in the gym the majority of this summer just jacking threes.
    I still want him on my team, but would understand if he had to be in a trade for a real C this summer.

    He can absorb regular season minutes at least. We have him for 3 more years so there is time for him to somewhat improve on that end. I’m not so concerned with trading him. His contract is 7% of cap space so it’s not like we’ve grossly hamstrung ourselves.

    I don’t think he has positive trade value. 3 years left, for a defensive player that can’t stay on the floor because teams can help off of him and he’s been injured for almost 2 years.

    You’re probably attaching assets to get rid of him or you’re trading for a negative asset yourself, hoping a change of scenery does them good.

    we have short memories on vando and attend too much to what he doesn't/can't do. feel like a few pages ago it was all praises for his role in our winning spell.

    he's a 15-20 mpg player, and he's paid like one. hustle and energy is a skill, and he has it on a team that could sometimes really use it.

    and as svtzr said, we can't trade him, so we may as well try to enjoy his play.

    I was thinking in a package deal(he and a couple others) for a C. I don’t think he has as much negative trade value as some here.
