Doc Rivers has been an underrated coach his whole career, he's an even better GM

He's great.

He got Sub-Zero on the squad. Multiple championships incoming.

Melo, Bron, KD.



He's on his way man.

That's some damn good company. All those guys came in considered as potentially elite scorers. Wiggins wasn't. Impressive.

Shorty got it.

Has to be something Rondo's agent put out there, right? Say it ain't so, Mitch.

@RealGM: Lakers Remain Interested In Rajon Rondo Despite New Skepticism: http://t.co/rFi7zPdOU0

Kevin Ding on Lakers interest in Rondo:

So there remains a distinct possibility in today's space-and-shoot NBA that the Los Angeles Lakers will be the torchbearers for the old school and sign the pass-first (nay, pass-only) Rondo to a free-agent contract this summer.

But what should be made clear, according to team sources, is that Buss is not the believer he was earlier in the season when it comes to Rondo, and Kupchak is toting enough healthy skepticism that he sees Rondo as value only at a certain low price.

The Lakers have higher priorities when it comes to spending their precious 2015 salary-cap space. They are hopeful of buying a foundational piece—something they aren't convinced Rondo is.

The notion that the Lakers were going to be the ones to sign Rondo to a maximum contract has been put forth and perpetuated mostly by people on his side, not the Lakers'.

The Lakers will have perhaps $22 million to spend this summer—and they're somewhat torn internally how much a newly motivated Rondo, 29, might push the franchise forward.

Perhaps if Rondo, who made $12.9 million this season, can be had for leftover money after the Lakers secure a big frontcourt fish such as Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge or DeAndre Jordan in free agency for roughly $18 million next season, it could be a bargain. Especially if it's something short, such as a one-and-one contract with the second year a team option.

As it would seem. They look interested in Rondo if it's less than $10mil. Most like $6mil if it's to come after they want to sign a big name.

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ That all makes sense. But if I was the Lakers, I wouldn't bother with Rondo at all, even at a discount.

Also, I cannot see any circumstance under which DeAndre would sign with the Lakers. Leave the Clippers? Sure. To go to the Lakers? **** no.
