    If he’s smart he’ll get out of his LA “diet” he looks too weak as an athlete

    You could see this coming. You cant play him with Luka as he can't shoot and isn't a lob threat.

    And then as a backup you can't play him with Hayes. That NO should have been 20 point blowout except again the Lakers offense died with him in there.

    He's like a negative 30 plus minus the last two games

    He’s a Pesca-Pescatarian: he only eats fish who eat other fish.

    I've always been rooting for Vando but LaRavia is having a much bigger impact so far this season. Even in a game last night where Jake's shot was trash (1-10) he still did enough good things to stay on the floor and eat up most of the minutes. I can't see that when Lebron gets back there will be much more for Vando minutes-wise unless we have other injuries. He's just too one dimensional. Right now I trust Knecht and LaRavia more.

    once lebron's back, vando will become a situational player for a while is my guess. rui and laravia are probably getting the regular minutes at backup forward, with vando/knecht being used depending on matchups, right?

    He's been a situational player the last 2 games. He's played 11 and 8 mins, respectively. This is when we started Bronny in the Miluwukee game with a bunch of injuries; not good. He's probably the 12th guy in a rotation moving forward, IMO.

    His contract sucks. Just looked, ugh.

    yeah, given the makeup of the team, i'd rather be paying half that. is what it is. when he signed that deal, i felt he fit better with what we were trying to do.

    anyway, there are worse contracts, and i don't know that his presence is hampering the team-building too much. plus, i still like what we brings and think we need it occasionally.
