Is Jarred Vanderbilt Going to be Healthy for the Lakers to Start the Season?

[@wmcuccia1356]

Vanderbilt is a BIG key to Lakers success, if he's not healthy lakers are in trouble, He provides a lot of flexibility in rotations, energy, catalyst. Every team needs a player that provides what he brings. This is disconcerting. Love you KamBros. Keep up the good work.

[@BobbyLouxMusic]

Oh Man, recalling so many nba stars who could never recover from foot issues! Vando is doomed! Ming, Walton, Brandon Roy, Grant Hill, Greg Oden, Bynum, Mcgrady, Hardaway, Danny manning, and so many more!

[@theguru6744]

Your right foot injuries are basketball players kryptonite

[@whodidit99]

Derek Fisher is one of the few who completely recovered to pre-injury status after foot surgery.

[@BobbyLouxMusic]

@@whodidit99maybe because he was a small guard? Steph had bad foot issues early on to but recovered!

[@MrAxidol]

Gonna call Vando Street Clothes 2.0 if he’s not ready by preseason 😅

[@BeckieG]

He does have good fashion sense 😅

[@Lazy_One1]

Yeah, but this is not a fashion show it’s NBA basketball leave the clown costumes at home and put your hardhat on and get your lunchpail and clock in

[@brodrickbaker]

I definitely started thinking more about the medical staff last year with all the weird injuries and timelines

[@brodrickbaker]

Also almost every single ‘injury’ our players suffered last year was at some undisclosed moment off camera. That was the real thing, it’s like I watch every game, don’t see someone get hurt next thing I know they’re out months

[@Teach4391]

Vando, Dlo, JHS, and first for Grant, here we go.

[@LN-Lifer]

God no Just what need another guy who cannot rebound or defend. While also being astronomically overpaid

[@deandrepage1048]

Lakers would do that trade without hesitation. 👍 NBA teams don’t want D’Angelo Russell after hearing all of the bad things said about him by Laker fans. Karma

[@mindbendrr]

Since Rob made no moves, now our problems are magnified with just these injuries and no roster spots. Now LBJ and AD minutes need to be monitered so they're not killing themselves to win marginal games. Thanks Rob!

[@LN-Lifer]

This means he ia out for the season If rehab has not workee by now he is going to have to have surgery.

[@deandrepage1048]

Still suffering the negative consequences from last season where free agency should have provided Coach Ham with a 6’6 Big Guard with NBA Playoff experience as a 1-on-1 defender against 2-Guards & Small Forwards.

[@robt5818]

Talk about lowered expectations. When the best news you have is "he was seen walking", this does not portend well.

[@mnjshannn3167]

Vando missed lot of time with same injuries during his college and early nba seasons, thats also one of reasons why he never developed his offensive game imo I’ve been telling laker fans on twitter to not keep many expectations on vando’s return or him helping them win as soon as they said he won’t be healthy last season, I knew he will miss more than a year, Rob is an idiot for mismanaging so much, D’lo will walk for nothing, Vando is 10 mil wasted for 2 seasons in a row Lakers are also one of the most shamelessly run franchise, there’s no transparency about anything to fans cus their only goal is lying and filling seats

[@Mac2Mon]

It’s been so long since folks saw Vando they forgot how unplayable he was in the playoffs because he’s a blackhole on offense, but sure he would help in the regular season being a body for defense

[@hieroglyphy6181]

Stop it. He was not unplayable in the playoffs. He was injured late in the Golden State series and played poorly against Denver (that’s 4 games). Before that, he was an integral part of the rotation that made it to the conference Finals. He was the primary defender on Morant and Curry. That’s quite an important role buddy.

[@dmac93065]

So Cam Reddish to the rescue?

[@jourdanzero9312]

if reddish is a rotation player we will not make the play in

[@robertwilliams-np6wb]

Coach JJ and Cam from Duke.

[@deandrepage1048]

Rui Hachimura got DEMOTED to backup Power Forward coming out of Preseason for a good reason. Hachimura’s poor athleticism and poor foot speed on defense against Power Forwards. A NBA veteran 6’6 Big Guard with a Defense 1st Mentality could have kept Hachimura on the 2nd Unit.

[@andremiller1566]

Why do we talk about Vando like he's some great Laker? This FO got rid of champs like trash and hold onto mid players like gold.

[@deandrepage1048]

Lakers 1st Unit perimeter defense is pathetic, a below-average 1-on-1 perimeter defender at BOTH GUARD SPOTS. 👎 6’8 defensive specialist Jarred Vanderbilt was used as a weapon to hide that weakness. Assigned to play 1-on-1 defense against point guards and 2-Guards.

[@Mac2Mon]

Do we credit Lakers for actually getting AD through a whole season & the Olympics? Or are we just mad about the back of the roster being hurt?

[@whodidit99]

No, because it was one year, and is probably a fluke.

[@dennisknowles9293]

29:36 Leave the WHINERS home Brian😂😂😂

[@Oberonz1]

Now you got the worst defensive backcourt in the league without their security blanket🫤 lakers better run and gun, but how you do that with a 40 year old first option???? For 82!!😮

[@MrExBearPoker]

It's not they don't like. It's more Jeannie don't like. You know, because of who's daughter she is, Dr Buss. Do we give her a pass more than we should. We blame Palinka, We the Rambis family. I mean the later worked for Dr Buss for 20 years before he passed. Should she be on the hot seat as well

[@johnkennethlanuza6116]

VANDO SECURED THE BAG THEN DECIDED NOT TO BE HEALTHY

[@tylercastanedaiii5651]

So many commercials again for a 30 min content

[@LockedOnLakers]

It's how the network gets paid so they can pay us and we can do the show. Doing it for free ain't an option. I get why you don't like the ads, but it beats the alternative. AK

[@taniaferrell4548]

They should have made the trade for dejonte Murray but they wanted to hold on to Austin Reeves who averaged 14 points a game with no defense Murray got defense average 21 points a game pelinka never thinks realistically he's an idiot if they have Murray found a way to get Grant and a big man we would be contenders All these teams are getting better we are getting worse just sabotage LeBron and 'ADs career I wish they would have both left they can't even compete they were the bomb in the Olympics because they had good role players around them it's sad how the Lakers are being held back because of one Guy pelinka. Get rid of vando He's always injured even in college The math is not mathing get rid of the GM and your problems will go away we need it change and we got nothing

[@craigosterberg5045]

Vando should have had surgery last season. He’s stealing money if he doesn’t play this year.

[@lucasanfilippo5370]

Man, c'mon.. we dont know anything about his real condition.. Just him and his doctor knows it.. this is what spreads hate on the Internet.. and Who is telling that would be considered a hater from many people.. but this is ridicolous.. it's health, nobody apart Vando can decide it.. he injured his foot playing for your team..c'mon.. P.s. and probably like you we have all seen these of people injuries go for ever without surgery... But it's different to make a general argument against saying Vando is stealing Money..

[@gabrielgutierrez1409]

This guy has had foot problems since college days. No surprises here
