    Rajon Rondo Is A "Mortal Lock" To Be A Laker
    According to ESPN's Max Kellerman. Talks like there is no doubt about it.

    The rumors continue to swirl in terms of what the Los Angeles Lakers will do this summer once NBA free agency gets underway. Many believe the Lakers will likely find it difficult to land a big-name like Marc Gasol or LaMarcus Aldridge, but might be able to pry Rajon Rondo away from the Dallas Mavericks. […]


    Investing money in this guy would make things go from bad to worst. One the downside of his career, and we see how great he gets along with head coaches recently.

        You seem like an old timer, and I'd hate to see you make the same mistake for the remainder of your time here on earth.

        Private message me before starting your next thread so I can check for errors. I don't want you to look silly again.

          never liked his game because he can't shoot the jumper and dominates the ball too much.
          Lakers should look for a better point guard. I should be the general manager.
          Step1 sign Kevin Love

                At 23, in the 09 playoffs he averaged 17/10/10 or thereabouts. Caused havoc on D.

                It has been a steady decline in performance and attitude from that season forward.

                As a Celtic fan it would give me great pleasure to see the Lakers pick up this nimrod for the max.

                10 years in the league and shoots under 40% from the line.

                    Clarkson will be the man. Lakers will not sign rondo. They are going to get okafor. Randle will be back. Lakers will end up with aldridge.

                          Much more value in going after Dragic...but Rondo obviously wants to be in LA and no way he is staying with Dallas after butting heads with Carlisle.

                            With Kobe still running things, Rondo is most definitely a lock to sign there.

                              No f ing way.. Kevin love sucked.. He will only get worse.. Lebron already outcast him and screw his mind. Lakers dont need another bad three point shooter.

                                Rondo is worse at shooting free throws than Shaq.

                                    lakers will need to win the lottery to get okafor. and aldridge is already on record to be staying in portland.

                                          Kellerman is a fool but given Kobe's known preference for Rondo, it may very well happen. Kobe has always been attracted to players who pass and refuse to shoot...having Rondo on the team will allow Kobe to continue his foolishness next year and the year after when he resigns...do not be fooled..Jellybean has no intention of retiring....

                                          Rondo is the exact kind of player you want on your team if you are going after the scoring record...which is precisely what Kobe is trying to do. Clarkson should suffice but he is playing well and needs the ball in his hands...once Kobe returns, Clarkson will never see the ball...they might as well trade him....lol........I for one hope it happens..Watching Byron Scott try and control two of the most selfish knuckleheads in basketball will be must see TV.....make it happen Mitch!!

                                            Kobe wouldn't like Rondo on the team, Rondo wants the ball to distribute, but at his pace while he's directing. Kobe turns all players into spot up jump shooters and Rondo is the last person that fits that role, haven't read article but I'll say it now Rondo ain't going there.

                                                    Mark Cuban seems like a smart business man, he should know when to cut his losses and dump that bum Rondo.

                                                      Rondo to Lakers makes sense. Gives the Lakers more lottery balls for years to come.

                                                        Rondo will be a major upgrade to lin. Actually a fire hydrant would be an upgrade to lin

                                                          Rondo is trash and his assist numbers are BS.

                                                              Lakers will be a big threat next year if they can sign one max veteran FA and grab another good piece in the draft. They really need some quality veterans on that team. Dump boozer wes johnson and nick young and lin. Xavier Henry I would definitely keep. Clarkston Bryant a lock down SF perimeter defender, a MAX pf or c player - Mark gasol? and they'll make playoffs easily.

It has to be a young player who grew up watching Kobe and has no idea what he is in for...the word is out on Bryant..no veteran will tolerate that clown for an entire season..not after what he did to Gasol and Howard. Pau has been complaining to his brother for years on what its like to play for the sociopath that is Kobe Bryant...no way in hell Gasol is coming there...LOL...he is lifelong native of Memphis..
