Rajon Rondo to Lakers

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

Local talk with la laker cronies is that this is a move to have the big trade with San Antonio to move the youngsters to spurs to get Leonard now . Ball kuzma and Deng to spurs..if spurs wants something Lakers have what they want now with rondo replacing ball

[ikid2groove415]

Defense can win championships and Rondo plays defense..

Jibbs they ain’t winning this year- reason all those pick ups is 1 year contract - they all will be gone next year- Leonard/Durant/Butler/Thompson all free agent after this coming season

[Chi_archie]

I guess they avg 108 per game because of tempo?

where did that rank them?

I can tell you they gave up 109.6 and that was 25th in the league

[Eddy Munny]

Rondo's a good player, but what good is he when Lebron dominates the point?

[Chi_archie]

I can tell you the TOOK the 2nd most shots in the league last year.

so you think its about pace?

The main stay is Lebron and in LA most players do want to play with him and for the Lakers.. Next year if players are moved more will come..

Lakers are trying to win now... Let's see if Leonard and Cousins comes now??? Lakers get Leonard it's game on!!!!

With Randle just being traded that tells me Cousins is signing on next for sure.. Cousins is a big body and better then Randle.. Upgrades are happening now!!!!

About 10th 11th- we are talking offense here - never said they were good on defense fella? My inside sources have confirm

[Chi_archie]

How much cap space does LA have left for this year?

[Chi_archie]

11th-

11th is one of the best to you?

[blankoblanco]

Rondo's a good player, but what good is he when Lebron dominates the point?

I don't think it's necessarily a good fit but Lebron can be a dominant scorer for Rondo to look for as well. Honestly kinda think LBJ can do whatever he wants but he holds back to be a team player

[Chi_archie]

I bring up defense to let you know it WAS in fact pace of play that led them to score so much.

volume

they shot alot


back to my point.

do you not agree that they could use some really good 3 point shooters?

are there any winning teams that Don't want that?

Lakers Just dumped Randles salary at what 9 milliion a year....

[ikid2groove415]

People call Ingram a young Durant ? Would u give that up for a injured Leonard?

[KRIT]

Ball and Rondo are almost identical players, with Rondo being better. I don't see how they go into the season with both guys on the roster. Looks like Ball may be on his way out.

[JIBBBY]

Yes... All day long and twice on Sunday.. Win now with Lebron..

[ikid2groove415]

Randle and bron plays same position - makes sense -

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

Ingram stays everyone else gonzo

Ball can't piss in the same bucket as Rondo right now please.. In time maybe if Lonzo continues to develop..

Right now Rondo has better handles, can see the floor better, defend better, pass better.. Just a better player and I hope he starts over Ball..

[Chi_archie]

Ingram stays everyone else gonzo

Lebron will gut this offense.

brilliant chess move by him, ahead of time to manipulate the Cavs into making the trade with the Lakers mid season last year. opening up cap space for him to go there as a FA.

I've heard alot of insiders say, this move was done a long time ago, IF the cavs weren't able to win it this year, and maybe no matter what

[no1here]

Stupid statement, Lakers ain't waiting at all with more changes coming especially Ball being gone as soon as somebody willing to take the punk.

Bunch of guys that can’t shoot - all 1 year contracts - Lakers throwing away this coming season

So Lakers winning this year?

[Chi_archie]

Makes sense...

He has two homes there, his son goes to school there, he has a business there, he is an aspiring actor/writer

this move is him being theatrical as well (which he loves to do with his decisions) for the big stage of NBA.

you can't name too many top 20 all time players that didn't spend some time with the Lakers at one point or another.

star studded

Biggest reason he’s a laker? His WIFE and the weather- and of course betting on another superstar joining him

[JIBBBY]

Ya gotta think the Midget is gone for sure now... He was starting to play better and getting back to his old form.. Too bad..

The Spurs are not trading Kwahi to the West and are apparently looking for gaurantees that the East team who does land him won’t deal him out west either.

It’s either Ingram or Kuzma to go along with Ball for any trades they do work out. Pelicans have a new need for PG so maybe Ball and BI for Cousins is the goal. I like Ingram a lot but I think Kuzma is a better fit for this new look Lakers and word on the street is Laker management agrees. He’s the only one who’s name hasn’t been offered in any trade talks so far.

[Chi_archie]

I swear to god i completly forgot dude was on the team till my bro mentioned him earlier lol but i agree hes probley gone at some point

he's not on the team

he's a free agent

[cincinnatikid513]

lakers will be a 6 7 or 8 seed and out in the 1st round, this feels like the cavs roster, ur going to put all these avg guys around lebron and no shooting

Spurs got no choice - Leonard is ready too sit out this coming season - get something or nothing ?

[cincinnatikid513]

can't believe lakers are 2nd favorite to win the title with this roster, lebron james and a bunch of kids


C- JaVale McGee, Mo Wagner, Ivica Zubac
PF- Kyle Kuzma, Isaac Bonga
SF- Brandon Ingram, Luol Deng, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk
SG- LeBron James, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Lance Stephenson, Josh Hart
PG- Lonzo Ball, Rajon Rondo, Alex Caruso

Hahah yeah looks kinda like a Cavaliers - West. Although I think this Lakers supporting cast has more upside.

Spurs got played, they waited too long. Could have gotten some picks and players from the East teams but gonna have to settle for LA's pu-pu platter. Unless they try to hold him for a trade deadline deal, hoping someone gets desperate for one last piece. Personally I think they'd deal him to ANYONE but the Lakers but they'll be lucky they get a 1st rd pick for him now. No one is giving up a lot for a guy who's waiting on a huge payday next year.
