re: Who wants a #HOTTAKE?

Cousins(and now AD) seem to have more respect for Rondo than anyone else on the team.

I think it is compeltely reasonable that had Demps signed Rondo, made the case to Cousins and AD personally that based on current evidence and his demanding price, Jrue was not the best path forward for the team. Than you just make smart decisions and let the winning help ease any remaining lumps. Then you are also much better positioned to sell Cousins this upcoming offseason by presenting him with additional moves you can make to ensure he would be signing with a further improving team.

My concern here is that because of Jrue, our offseason will once again be poised to be scrapping the bottom of the barrel to fill out the roster next year.
