What about his defense? His wing span looked like a terror in the SL. He also seemed aggressive when going after boards. Both really good signs for his future.

Well they were 18-20 with him. 23-20 without him. That's not a small sample size.
It could be deceiving but how many teams can survive losing a prime top tier player for half a season and not miss a beat. Rondo has glaring flaws that can hurt an offense as a whole. Not great at getting to the FT line or making them. Can't shoot at all from 3 or anywhere. Needs to dominate the ball. He's still really good but there's a reason teams aren't jumping to grab him now. Rondo is a divisive player.

May be a reach but I can't help saying it because I want it so bad to be true..
KD missing the first 8 weeks could move Reggie to the starting lineup.
Put Reggie at 1 and Russ at 2 and give Russ the green light. Russ will definitely be the go to guy to put up the points so keeping him at the 1 and asking this of him is silly when you have a point like player in Reggie who can duplicate on a lower scale the things that Russ brings at the 1.
I hope this is what happens and it works brilliantly and then remains the deal when KD returns.

Jusuf Nurkic, rookie center for Denver, has looked solid thus far. He's currently at 7 & 10 in 20 mins. If he really is a quality player then Denver's frontcourt becomes very crowded

I'll explain my "cursed" comments below. If the Lakers had this current roster fairly healthy throughout the season, I think everyone in this thread would agree that they can get 7-8th seed in the west. No higher though.
True but they can definitely grab 7-8th seed with a aging Kobe, a chucker in Swaggy, a corpse in Nash, Jordan Hill and a inconsistent Jeremy Lin.
Yeah Jim Buss has to be trolling.
Explaining my cursed comments up there [emoji]128070[/emoji]
When I say "cursed" i mean, Dwight Howard comes to LA. Isn't healthy and suffers nagging injury all season long. Steve Nash signs with the Lakers and can't even play a quarter of the season due to nerves in his legs and all sorts of leg injuries. Pau Gasol's knees become brittle and then he sits out a bunch of games. Then Kobe tears his Achilles and on top of that fractures his knee cap after 6 games of returning from the torn Achilles. Jordan Hill isn't available all season last year(?) because he needs to get hip surgery.
Now this season Jeremy tweaks/sprains his ankle. Swaggy tears a ligament in his thumb. And Ryan Kelly has a strained ham string. For the past two seasons the lakers have been plagued with injuries. Someone put the voodoo curse on them. That's insane how many injuries this squad has suffered.
Welp, tried to defend Laker Nation.

Rondo is still going to be elite. Curious to see if his perimeter shooting & free throw has improved, this upcoming season...

BIG Jusuf Nurkić fan very Demarcus Cousins-y, I thought he was a top 7 talent, I wanted him to fall to the raptors BAD,
Another GFH, (giant ******* human) at 6'11 290, with natural footwork/post scoring instincts.

7'2 players should not have the fluidity that Gobert does.

Gobert
Quin Snyder might have walked into a better situation than he expected. Always liked him too.

Gobert is another example of people getting fooled by the combine, he was a lottery guy untill he was slow and didn't jump high at the combine. 
Said the same thing about Andre Drummon/Demarcus/Steven Adams at some point you are too gigantic and too fluid not to be an effective NBA player. Same thing applies to Jusuf.

Today's the last day of Bill Simmons' suspension. Can't wait for the NBA preview videos to be uploaded (he was in the middle of recording them when he got suspended).

Apparently, Lance had a verbal agreement in place with Dallas before Houston declined to match Chandler's deal.

Charlotte is my second favorite team if they traded MKG and received a Ariza type in return they would be a top 3 team in the East. (Hopping over Washington)
