If you need a reminder of Vando’s impact, plz watch his defensive highlights on TH-cam. Proly has the best defensive highlights besides Kawhi ad and Jrue and the Thompson twins
Vando helps improve our defense, our rebounding a little and scrappy enough to get steals for all the casuals who keep saying “he’s not gonna score a lot of pts” we don’t need vando to get 20pts that’s not why we grabbed him and that’s never been him anyway. As long as he can knock down some open shots and continue to make timely cuts to the basket we’re fine.
Lol nobody wants him to score but his inability to shoot will make the offense play 4v5 😂… with an offense with only LBJ/AR as shot creators we are about to be atrocious on offense in my opinion lol
Yall “fans” need to realize it’s going to take a minute for him to get back into the feel of the game and that if he’s bad these first few games that doesn’t mean that’s what he is….try to be mature and open minded for once yall lol
would love to try a big lineup now and again of Lebron pg, DFS sg, Vando 3, Rui 4 and AD 5, that will be a monster lineup with speed, defense and shooting
lets have some perspective - if you ask any of the contending teams right now and tell them - "would vanderbilt be a difference maker for you we'll give him for free?" they would say "no thank you that's a wasted roster spot"
he's one of the best defenders in the league buddy. that aint nothing. don't get me wrong he's not gonna be the difference between a championship or bust but he's still makes the team better than him not being there
Mitch Robinson is the obvious Center Big Man the Lakers should get. He is a rim protecting Center. And he’s making 14.9 and 12.9 million dollars the next 2 seasons. The Lakers can obviously make a trade with the Knick’s for Robinson.
I saw someone say he needs to be on a 30 second restriction lol
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆

best part of Vando being back means dont have to rely on 0 Defense Rui

How? He had double foot surgery.
@ you mean to tell me you can’t practice catching a ball or work on shooting form while your just sitting down for a whole year? I don’t think he was wearing a body cast the whole time

Been waiting 355 days for this video!

yeah! That is a big addition without trading.
aside form his defense, vando's rebounding presence will be crucial I think people forget how good of a rebounder he is and also his playmaking.
i think his energy in general will help transform this team. the team feeds off his tenacity

Now they just need to package Gabe & JHS for literally any playmaking guard

Yeah, Lakers "fans," try to be as patient as you are with Cam Reddish... oh wait
It didn't last time
No rush just glad he's playing again
Literally
The lakers superstar weve been waiting
Finally after 50+ years 😭. Vando my 🐐
I really hope he’s fully healthy and a full go. He needs all of his athleticism to be a good player.
Pls play AD, Bron, Vander, DFS and Max....see what happens
I agree
Davis,Vando,DFs,reaves and LeBron
Not max reaves
Hopefully they can score cause if defense isn’t working then they’re cooked
that could wkrork against the warrior. very switchable lineup
I don't give a damn!! Rob make a trade that will make us contenders!!

@@caleb1795real basketball fans know adding Vando to a team struggling on offense currently is a recipe for disaster 😂
Vando being back is great. Still won’t make up for slow footed Austin reeves on the perimeter.
It made up for AR and DLo at the same time tho
And it won't make up for LeBron James poor perimeter defense and proof footwork

Breaking news vando is back best thing that has happen since Sean Davis was traded to another TH-cam channel.
YESSIR! My dawg Vando is finally back! Vando Vault is back in session🔒
I'll believe it when I see it.
Thank you .. its delusional to think he will get us somewhere after beeing out for 10 years
Praying for our team is stay healthy!
Vucevic and Sexton and at least we have a chance of beating anyone
Vando need to start in place of max and dfs in place of rui
Nope you wrong and don't know basketball
Let’s go Vando!!!
This is exciting news! We on one now Laker Nation let’s goooo
Ooooooh yeahhhhhhh
MYTHICAL FIGURE MAKES SEASON DEBUT SATURDAY? ILL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT!!

Keep your expectations low

Stealing money
Still recovering from his knee injury
I heard Dalton was cleared to play too been missing for over a month 😂😂😂
Im glad hes back so lakers can trade him.. he is an asset but he doesnt want to play always injured might aswell be traded and get another scorer..
Cool… finally, welcome back… need all the help we have😏💯
Good news but doesn't move the needle hope we can make some trades.
It can help a lot tho, i remember him locking Luka tf UP last year, this can be key in certain match ups

Thank God he’s back his defense is awesome
1 legit starting center, 1 three and d player,and we're good to go
i dont think he will get a ton of playing time early on. As the season starts to wind down, i can see him playing in more pivotal moments
Max, cam, vando, finny and ad will be a heck of a defensive lineup
Its litt lets see whag a healthy vando look like
You been hurt for two years 🥷 😂😂😂 shoutout Anthony Edward’s
LOL at Trevor talking about Vando like he's Kobe or MJ 😄
Hopefully he at least practiced layups and jumpshots over the last couple months that he's been ramping up.
Need good news and pieces at a time is definitely needed. Defence is needed get more help offensively
This could be game changing news.
Welcomw back vando!
Hope no one gets injured now that he is back
I’m glad he’s fully healthy I hope he still the same player he once was. Maybe he even locks up JT who knows, just glad he’s healthy!
Finally when he gets in game shape some DEFENSE!!!!
Lets go vandolorian!!!!! Stay healthy man pls!!!!
Love this! Love him in the purple and gold. Hope he’s able to get back to what he was on defense in 2023 by April/May.
HEEEESSSSS BACKKKKKK
NOT ENOUGH. He’s a 1 way player.
Don't worry to much Lakers get this welcome back gv. God is good all the time!!
Great addition, now we will have 12 points total off out a bench per game
