9M though? A little too much imo and not affordable if we get another max i think.

Id bring back Rondo if he takes the veteran minimum. We overpaid him last summer, time for him to return the favor

It would be idiotic to take back Rondo.

 

[zizinho]

For the veteran minimum, thats a low risk high reward kind of move.

Rondo is a disruptive head case and not a shooter. Any guards you get should be focused entirely on shooting and some D.

Who runs the 2nd unit with James on the bench? Cant have shooters only

Plus AD is one of the most assist dependent players in the league. Gonna need that secondary distribution, especially when Bron is rested/injured.

Exactly. If he could stay healthy come playoffs, he would do damage there. But we would still need a shooting PG at starter

Rondo.

Didn't you guys just see the Finals? You can't have non-shooters anywhere on the court.

 

[KB824]

Rondo should be nowhere near the Lakers this season.

Whole GS shot terrible and pushed you guys to six games. Besides, Rondo is a 36% 3pt shooter in his last 4 seasons, on 2.5 attempts. As a 2nd unit floor general, hell do fine

Klay shot 60% from 3!

Anyways, I think the blueprint to win with Lebron has been repeated over and over. He has the ball all game, so you need shooters. I don't see what Rondo brings to offset his inconsistent shooting. He doesn't even try on D anymore. Anyone can handle the ball in today's NBA.

I just feel at the very top level, basically the Finals, the weaknesses get exposed to the maximum degree. If Rondo is on the court, he will have to shoot. If they played the 2019 Raptors, he would be open all game. Davis would get absolutely swarmed in the paint.

In the regular season, he might be ok because the opponent doesn't give a shit and will play straight up defence. In the playoffs, they're throwing the kitchen sink. Anyone who can't shoot will have to shoot.

The Raptors were even leaving a competent player like Bledsoe wide open to double and triple Giannis.

Lakers could probably get Seth Curry for the same money. That would be an amazing fit

It most certainly would

Definitely not Rondo.

Depending on which 3rd max we get, or if we get him at all, id still take a veteran minimum Rondo on the team. You need a 3andD back court with James, but you also need someone to run the point when James isnt there, and Rondo fits that. I think if our backup PG doesent shoot worse than Gasol or Siakam did in the finals, we will do fine

Please Kawhi, don't go to LA. You don't need to play with the toxic cunt prima donna. Sorry Serge, I love you man, but I really hope LA don't win anything as long as Lebum is there. You only need to wait until 2023, and then you can win again

I can taste your tears already, dude. Delicious.

For real though, unless we have convinced New Orleans to hold off on the deal until July 30th, and AD to waive his trade bonus, we're well short of max cap space.

I don't dislike The Lakers, far from it. Shaq, Kobe, Magic, Kareem, and Worthy are all great great players, and some of my favorites. I always rooted for the Lakers against those smug cuntish Leprechauns of House Celtics Now, there's a team I can't stand, along with Mormon Fags Utah and The Mavs.

I just don't want Lebum to win, EVER!

Hasn’t Lebum won 3 championships already?

I hate the Celtics too.

I’m not sure what you have against Lebron.

It’s funny tho, we feel completely different. I like Lebron since he’s an amazing human being and one of the best basketball players to ever live but I hate the Lakers and hope they never win another title again.
