Jarred Vanderbilt Discussion: The Vandalorian

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.

 

guessing portland takes him, kleber, and gabe for ayton, but...do we really win there?

guess we could try kleber/vando/all the picks for claxton?

 

Ayton with Luka and Lebron would be something to see. you could get something great out of that (JR Smith in Cleveland) or it could go downhill fast (Dlo here)
Such a waste of talent
