To be fair, he was worth more than what we offered. 4 mil was pretty lowball.

Bad contracts coming back to haunt yet again

It was low but that’s too high in this climate. This has analysts scratching heads not praising it. Who’s going to play defense on the Lakers?

Ball vs Rondo is going to be fun. They said he was told “best man will play”. This will be a tough locker room to handle

Giving Hill the contract that we did in a time when no one knew what the market was for anybody was stupid then, and it's even stupider now.

This sucks but honestly does it really matter as long as golden state stays together and lebron is now in the west

At least the Pelicans get to save face with that deal. It not like he bolted to sign a min contract.

I wonder if they shift their trade focus to trying to find a PG instead of a wing now? Unless they can somehow get Tyresus on a discount deal.

I keep seeing Tyreke being brought up, but he really doesn't fit with the Space and Pace tempo that the Pels were running when they were their best last season.

Without Rondo I see us going from a three seed potential to a five seed potential. Honestly the core of Jrue/AD/Niko and then adding Boogie is still a 45 win team minimum.

Gotta felling we're about to get legendary AD. It's his time.

I would LOVE if someone could take the time and go see what this board of experts was saying about Rondo one year ago today. I would bet they would find a board full of people saying he was a terrible fit, would hurt the spacing, doesn't play D, etc etc

Now he is irreplaceable and they have fixed opinions on another set of guys. It's like people never learn. Remarkable.

Kushner just went on AFR claiming the Lakers have 23 million in cap space. Embarrassing for a professional journalist.

People are overreacting to Rondo news. The team playing better with him on the court had more to do with Jrue playing off ball then anything else. In fact Rondo was a negative for us this year.
