Rondo saying all the right things

[atlsfinest]

He looks like he has 19 year old kids

Rondo saying all the right things

Ya I agree

If you read between the lines of his past, he’s apparently been a very good mentor of young players at stops in Chicago, pels and even back in sac.

Lol lol

Body of a 19 year old. Face of a 39 year old

Been eating too many bratwursts

 

[DLF]

League is ******

Kuz at the Drew

 

[tupac003]

If the new jerseys are better than what they sold us...I'll take em back. I got the white and gold early authentic versions.

Nothing has shipped yet so we will see.

 

[CP1708]

I don't like, or want Melo. But......if he's paid, and gets like 1 M from us, and plays off the bench.....and we can still re-sign Brooke....

Ball/Rondo
KCP/Lance
Ingram/Melo
Bron/Kuzma/Wagner
Brooke/Javale

That's not beating GSW, but that's a good enough team for year 1, and we still have all our space for next year to bring in a big star, not to mention we still have parts to make a trade if anything comes available.

Jesus, I forgot Hart/Zubac

Ball/Rondo
KCP/Lance/Hart
Ingram/Melo
Bron/Kuzma/Wagner
Brooke/Javale/Zubac

 

[fayetnam]

Reason why we haven’t signed anyone (inc. Brook) yet is because we need to keep ~5M open in cap space so we don’t need to match any salaries in a deal for kawhi.

Assuming we’re able to trade Deng’s expiring next year along with a first, we’ll have around 45M in cap space.

Kawhi would likely take 32M in FA which only leaves us around 13M to fill out the roster after that

Ball/Rondo
KCP/Lance/Hart
Ingram/Melo
Bron/Kuzma/Wagner
Brooke/Javale/Zubac

No thanks to Melo
Not enough minutes to go around
Sucks my guy Hart is gonna struggle to see PT

 

[noblekane]

hart should start hes the better shooter of the 3

and hes pretty good on d too

 

[lovehateself]

Would rather see us sign Svi than Melo

 

[CHAOSE57]

That's a decent second unit man. You'll get either Lonzo or Rondo running the point with people who can defend and space the floor.

Yea ideally Zo/Hart/BI/Bron/Brook would start the game.

 

[moonman818]

Can’t wait to see the Sunday whites if we go back to the old school cut.

Might have to cop the Ingram

 

[Lizakers]

Hart > KCP

 

[geno90221]

Hart > KCP

Not yet but soon

 

[lovehateself]

Ball jersey on sale at Dicks and I’m
Afraid to buy it cause i don’t know if he’s sticking around ...smh

 

[CHAOSE57]

"Iron sharpens iron"

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Lebron gonna turn lonzo into a playmaking andre roberson

 

[licensed to ball]

Even though LeBron knows he aint gonna win the first year im sure he'll be pleased at how many more people can handle the rock and make plays on this young Laker squad than his last 4 years in Cleveland I think he's going to enjoy being a Laker at this stage in his career honestly

 

[purpnyellow]

Lol rondos face when he said never to talking to bron

 

[Lizakers]

So many ppl think we won’t be contenders this year. I don’t get it.
When you have Lebron you’re in win-now mode so I expect Maglinka to do whatever it takes to put players around him to contend for a ring and not waste a year

 

[DLF]

I know we wanna keep our cap open to be able to trade for kawhi without matching salaries but can’t we agree verbally with brook and sign him after the trade (if it happens)
