    I like him, but we need more rebounds up front with who we are missing. The shooting was nice, but we need rebounds and defense too. Torn...

    Kessler is a double digit rebounder and will erase mistakes

    With a history of injury. Can't rely on that alone right? Seems a bit too risky.

    I strangely have hope for Vando. He's a beast on D, but his O is just nonexistent.

    i'm like president of the vando fanclub, but i liked his fit a lot better when we were a lebron/AD team that should have been a defense-oriented squad. he provided energy and an edge that team badly needed and got nowhere else.

    but he's just not a jj nor a luka player. if he was a better finisher at the rim we *might* find a use for him, but being neither a shooter nor a finisher just makes it easier to game plan against our offense.

    he is strangely a terrible finisher

    How is a dude that buff such a marshmallow at the rim? Kind of embarrassing. I take it back, trade him or stretch him lol.

    Adou can fill the Vando hole. He is an excellent finisher, just needs to get healthy learn how to defend without fouling.

    Play Grimes, Reaves, Luka, Adou and Mamu as the closing 5.

    Rui is gone for sure though. He’s probably waiting for the LeBron domino to fall.

    I have to believe that, with the quietness, that Luka or Pelinka or SOMEONE was reaching out lightly to say "Do you wanna come back?"

    Like, there is no way people haven't been trying to coax him into coming back. It would be rad if he took the Min, but I don't want him to....just it would be nice.

    He deserves to be paid though, so I would rather we work out a small trade with who we can and make room to sign him.
