Why do people keep saying this?

AD and Cousins ARE our shooters.. neither one is gonna be banging away under the basket just because they're 7' tall

Rondo has surprisingly shot the 3 at a respectable rate the last 3 years. 37.6% last year, 36.5% and 35.2% the years before.

Maybe Dell used the DragonBalls to resurrect Qpon.

Yeah he's not a terrible corner three shooter. And hell at this point in FA we need a guard. Literally any guard with talent will do.

Yes, precisely. That's why i hope we can land Lee if we get in this melo deal.

But we needed a high iq ball handler, rondo with his head on is just that.

Hopefully the reunion with Boogie galvanizes Rondo and he has a career year?

Didn't know that. Makes me feel a little better about it.

I'm pretty indifferent on Rondo's contribution/fit, but he'll be entertaining. He and Boogie will give us some good popcorn moments throughout the season.

Hopefully Qpon learned the Kaio-ken technique.

I'm so conflicted. I understand the need and fit.

But Rondo is literally my least favorite player in the history of the NBA. I really can't stand him. He's such a POS. I absolutely despise him.

frick. I hate having to cheer for him.

Didn't Rondo lead the league in assists playing with Boogie?


Now you give him Boogie AND Anthony Davis

He's one of those guys you hate until he's on your team.

No they aren't. They are capable of making outside shots. They aren't guys you want staying outside.

At this point I just want us to sign a talented guard. Even if it's Rondo.

Plus we can keep what little assets we have.

Rondo would give AD and Boogie open shots from where ever the hell they want to take an open shot from. I think he could average 13+ assists a game, especially if you have a guy like Solo hitting 3's consistently from the corner.

having Rondo would allow Jrue to receive the ball in positions where he'll be wide open for the 3, which he can either shoot, or dribble around his guy and attack the basket at an advantage. I think Jrue would flourish as a pure SG.
