I have felt the same since he was released. Lakers should not have ever let him go. Many players were inconsistent under Ham…as he favored Taurean Prince, and he still does. What roster move could be made to fit him in. File with the league for “career ending injury” for Vanderbilt? The contract they signed him to will probably go down as bad as Mozgov/Deng contracts. Should trade him for 2nd rd pick and a photocopy machine (see Kyle Korver)….I’m up for just cutting him…too bad the stretch provision doesn’t fit (july1- August 31)…
Ahh yes, I remember with fondness the ridiculing I heard at the notion I expressed that more and more NBA level talent would be playing overseas…yes…I remember it well. Funny.
LW4 got paid, and he was smart to do so. He’s played on minimum deals and I could have made an argument for signing him over Max Christie this summer…but we didn’t go that route.
Based on our cap situation and full roster there’s no smart way to add anyone unless it’s via trade. So get used to this squad for the next couple months folks.
