It’s one of the reason we were able to get him for relatively cheap.

Man, Minnesota and Toronto really stockpiled so many long, athletic wings. All the Toronto ones got traded though except for SB. I wish we had more. I still remember when we failed to resign Ariza, that sucked. We got Ron of course, though Ron was a shadow of his old DPOY self at that point (and the rule changes hurt him bad).

And he can’t shoot. And he turns the ball over a lot. Look, the Lakers season took off when he went out with injury and they actually finally beat the Nuggets without him, so I’m not really convinced of the usefulness of Vando, or of the wisdom in investing time in players with extensive injury history.

Ok and? He’s an end of bench guy, can we be for real about Vanderbilt? He was moved in from by Minnesota because offensively he’s a black hole. Utah just threw him in as part of a trade package randomly, and we looked much better offensively without him. He got benched in multiple playoff games last year and got played off the floor in Denver.
His impact is more theoretical than realized at this point. Even if he is active guarding the ball and rebounding he isn’t a season changing player if he was he would be making a lot more money.

We need Snake Oil Salesman to fix him up.

Pelinka is exposed again. He doesn’t do due diligence on players. Nunn’s injury history while in Miami and in college. Gabe’s previous knee issues.

He’s incredibly injury prone

When you see how he moves, he puts a lot of pressure on his foot ankle etc. To defend how he does, he is always twisting and turning on a tall guy like him it would be extraordinary not to get injuries.
