According to multiple reports, Jarred Vanderbilt has signed a four-year, $48M extension with the Los Angeles Lakers.
After a busy offseason for Rob Pelinka, the Lakers now project to have seven players earning ten figures next season.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to Vanderbilt’s extension with LA’s team.
First Austin Reaves and now Jarred Vanderbilt are on EXTREMELY team friendly deals. Great move by the Lakers and I’m happy to see Vando in the purple and gold for the foreseeable future! https://t.co/7d9VmjxtSE

The Lakers lock up a great defensive wing in Jarred Vanderbilt for at least 3 years.
Too much talk about his offense. Vanderbilt is great at the thing he’s paid to be great at.
Another W for the Lakers. https://t.co/8LkgO6DZbw

people fr calling $12 million/year an overpay
sure his offensive skillset is limited but a guy like Vanderbilt is 100% someone you’d want on your team and he proved that in the playoffs

The Lakers have done some good work this offseason. That Jarred Vanderbilt extension is a really solid value. Only one of their signings was kind of questionable to me.
(If you think that’s foreshadowing on an upcoming article, you would be correct!)

Jarred Vanderbilt with a four-year, $48 million extension with the Lakers.
Many criticized his decision to enter the draft after one year at Kentucky in 2018, playing just 14 games.
Five NBA seasons later, with a newly inked extension, he has proved he made the right decision. https://t.co/X9xh1jUA1l

Jarred Vanderbilt can’t be traded for six months, which runs past the trade deadline. So the Lakers can’t trade him this season if they wanted to. https://t.co/gDhoVVczQj
