What do they know now?
huh? a healthy lonzo + wemby would be pretty fun to watch tbh.

he's honestly getting worse and worse. That shot selection is just dog
VW isn't the only player that really needs a point guard. DV is a good shooter but yeah he's forcing things. I think they overpaid but I can acknowledge that this team lacks leadership and direction and players have to get their stats, knowing the uncertainty on the team and their uncertain status long-term. They easily are listening to their agents more than the coach.
Just needs a good coach tbh
Shut yo' mouth!
There's no reason to pay a lot for any one person just to win 4 of 26 games.
Fantasy shows him as game time decision... again... due to an illness so I can understand this one but he missed alot this year already!
Only a projected 13% of the cap in the last year of the deal… hopefully at a minimum he’ll improve enough to be a positive trade asset.
Fans hoped Devin Vassell could be a Sean Elliott, but he’s at most a Willie Anderson.
Per the ESPN trade inventory primer article that just dropped, Vassell has some kind of poison pill provision built into his contract. I was not aware of this previously, does anyone have details?
People have a flawed memory of Sean Elliott. He was not an aggressive shooter. In fact, he wasn't aggressive at all. He was a pretty good defender but he was a monster in college and never lived up to his talent.
Right now Vassell is putting up Elliott numbers.
This article explains the poison pill provision well.

How do you build your roster then?
gotta adjust for score inflation
Yes, Sean could be a frustrating player when he was passive, which happened more than one would have liked. The Memorial Day Miracle and overcoming the Kidney issue redefined his narrative.
Slightly agree tbh.
Resigning Vassell made sense but seems like a disconnect to give him so much money only to tank or, whatever is going on. To me, it's one of the stranger aspects of the off season in combination with not addressing the point guard concerns. The FO moves slowly so it may only make sense in a year or two, though that's probably being charitable until we see what they do in the summer.
I think they still like him, but if it goes sideways he’ll become one of those nice “young cost controlled players” on their second contract that everyone seems to want in trades. In fact, between him, Keldon, Tre, and Zach, the spurs have amassed a nice little stable of those guys. Good asset management to be honest.
He's been giving off bad shot taker/shot maker, empty calories vibes for weeks now. Doesn't playmake. Doesn't try to break down a defense for any other purpose than to get his shot off.
I hope so... but he has essentially the same contract as Herro, who's deal is seen as bersome. There was a healthy debate in the off-season about maybe bringing Herro in. At the time, I felt he was better than Vassell. Today, I feel like the are pretty close but Herro has the added benefit of experience on a winning team. Devin remains a ball of potential with nothing but experience on a proven loser.
The MDM was a heat check. It wqs the only time he was ever aggressive and I thought it was a terrible shot until it went in.
But my concern is he is putting up the same numbers but being on a terrible team while Sean was playing with All Stars. He should be feasting with his skills but he is not and probably the other issue is his defense was one of his draft calling cards I have no idea where it went?
100%
Clutch is as clutch does.
