Did Emplay just nickname Vander Blue "The Truth". Nice. Maybe Truth2.0? 😂

Dunno about max contracts but Lebron got some scrubs PAID. Can't beliebe Dellavedova got like nearly $10M per.

It seems like there has been behind the scene chatter on Wade to LA seems like a lot of fans think it can happen.

If Wade can help us in the LeBron recruitement then I would be happy to see him as a Laker and even at the age of 37 he's a better player then Clarkson is right now and to create more cap flexibility by dumping Deng for 2018 would make this off season a A++

Vander Blue earned chance to make roster

Quote:
Vander Blue’s work ethic is clear. He is a hard worker and wants to make the NBA team. He has earned the shot with his production in the G-League.

Blue has earned a chance to make the Los Angeles Lakers’ roster after agreeing to a partially guaranteed contract.

Love it. But for Blue, it probably all boils down to how well he shoots the 3 ball, plus showing a modicum of development on D.

I hope for his sake, he makes the team, but I don't see it happening and if he did, I'm not sure if he gets any playing time.

So can Pope give his #1 jersey to Vander Blue? Because during Summer League Blue wore #1, and if you squinted hard enough, he kinda looked like DLO out there... 😂😂😂

Other Lakers fans took notice to this, but I do agree and I'm just repeating it.

It depends how well he shoots the 3, and gets to the line. Defensively, at his worst, he's on par with Clarkson.

He is pretty good at getting to the line. His trey is so-so, his defense needs improvement. He is athletic but consistency is somewhat lacking.

It's going to be an uphill climb but anything is possible.

Vander Blue: "I'll be so ready."

Chris Martin Palmer ‏Verified account @ChrisPalmerNBA
Newest Laker Vander Blue celebrates his deal by starting three-a-day workouts in Miami. Pool work to increase that vert. "I'll be so ready."
https://twitter.com/ChrisPalmerNBA/status/891819517218889728

Blue then headed to the gym. This double team sideline drill is designed to work on ballhandling in tight spaces. Some tricky handles.
https://twitter.com/ChrisPalmerNBA/status/891825537244639234

Summer is about that work. One more Vander Blue workout video.

In other news, he's actually younger than JC
