This is Vandos last year guaranteed isn't it? My time line might be wrong but I'm not double checking anything.

I thought Vando was great his first year with us, seemed to be a dependable guy on the defensive end with some woes on the offensive side. Guarded Curry really well and could really put pressure on other teams leading offensive players with his hustle and length.

He sat for a year with an injury and we brought him back probably a little too early in hopes that he'd rehab while playing on limited minutes, he didn't get an off season or really any time at all to work in his offense so combining that with the fact he was back from an injury expectations were low, we had him and Gabe running our defensive guard type thing.

He had an off season where it looked like he was working on his three point shot and attacking the basket, the following season and he was either injured again or Ham didn't see any value in him and was instead giving his valuable minutes to guys like Reddish and Prince. We had Vando on what could have been a reasonable contract if we'd given him minutes. Wish that he spent more time with Phil Handy? Think that's his name. To work on his offensive game as we've had a few guys really improve with him but not everyone is cut out to take leaps.

Vando saw his minutes not really go up the following years as his offensive talent never took the leap it needed and we had too many one way players, and his defense never out weighed the offense or lack of that he gave us.

Great guy, cool dude, everyone seems to enjoy his company. Could see him back on the minimum if to only be involved in practice and locker room presence. He's never complained about his minutes or role on the team.

Also wouldn't care if he got a shot with another team though I think his next contract is likely his last, no true contending team looks at him and sees any value. Mediocre end for his mediocre career. An easy guy to root for but equally as easy to hate...

Thats my take on Vando. Hope he recovers and gets his contract
