    i think vando catches strays all the time, though, begging a question about where the obsession begins. like--he's just a bench player on a sub-mle contract. why so much discourse? we're 15-4. vando plays sometimes. sometimes he doesn't.

    i think smart's better than vando, but i also don't consider vando "unplayable". this isn't controversial.

    We have posters like front of jersey saying our defense is bad and playing Vando would improve our team. The reverse argument is Vando is a negative on offence to the point where we're a better team with him out of the rotation.

    This all stems from the fact that we got whipped by OKC and we realise we need to improve. Some look internally, some look externally.

    Meh - the number of posters who consistently want him to play is the reason the discourse exists. No one is really pushing say a guy like Knecht to see minutes or even NBA vets with proven playoff success such as Maxi and Gabe. And my posting history is pretty consistent here is that I think Lakers need to find a guy who can play similar to defense but stay on the floor.
