Vince is Back!

Smart to bring him back.  You need some veteran mentors and Vince has shown himself to be a great fit for this team and this role.  Will be interesting to see how much time he gets.  

[Plainview1981]

Probably not many places to go.

As valuable as he was last year mentoring our young guys with the addition this year of Cam and Hunter I feel like it will be even a greater benefit to have Vince's tutelage this season. Curious to know if Toronto wanted him and he picked us over them or if we were pretty much his only option.

Kinda surprised with the stuff going on with the youth signings for G-league and all but know that Vince is important in the locker room and on the bench no matter how many minutes he gets on the floor. Not seeing so many on the floor myself so believe it is truly a coach in a jersey role more than a player on the floor. Still a very good thing...we are young.

This is good news. Great leadership for our young players and he could have a positive influence on Parker, Parsons, Crabbe, and Turner as well. We have the makings of a decent veteran bench.

Love it. Was hoping we could sign him due to him being a coach more than a player especially with our new rookies. He will get that respect from our newest rookies. Good signing Hawks! I believe Vince will be in this area after the season is over with as well doing media stuff.

I think having vets to teach our young players is way more valuable than a long shot young player for that last roster spot.*  Our focus is on developing the young talent we have.

 

* = Last available one to be filled.

Agreed, this is the discussion that has been going on about, is it this year or next but believe everyone is OK with another year putting it together for the youngsters to gel.

I feel the same. You can even include Parker in there. Plenty of young players to influence.

This.  I am very interested in how a relationship with Parker might develop.

[NBASupes]

This is great news. He had options too. Man, this is tremendous news!

It will be an open question all year and into next summer given that he will be a FA again if he wants after this season.

Prince said VC was the most important player in our locker room and squad. I believe him too

Hopefully we can keep him as part of our staff after he hangs them up.

A definite asset for our young team.  I’m am so happy to hear he is back.  I’m still surprised he didn’t try to ring chase but glad he is back

[Spud2nique]

Yesssssss siiiiiiiirrrr!!! Wow! This was seriously some great news. I thought for sure he was gone. To come back to us and mentor our kids for year 2 is a gift ! Thank you Schlenk, VC, bball Gods! 

We may look at this signing in 2022 and say, that was a big signing for us.

Welcome back VC!!!! 🥳 

cheers

Vincanity!

I'm spreading the rumor that Vince agreed to come back

after Nique said he wants to step back after this season.

 

[capstone21]

I wonder if there is a plan to join organization after he is done playing
