re: Rondo and pels agree to one year deal

This team has been trying to run an offense where the players move a lot since Monty was here, but it seems to be pretty hard to get players to be active on offense.

I think one of the biggest differences is that we "gain" Jrue Holiday this season. He's the best off ball guard we have not to mention the best primary ball handler we had before Rondo. Now that Rondo is in I think it frees Jrue if we decide to play the Gentry offense for a quarter.

As for the Finch offense, I think both Rondo and Jrue can be very active off the ball. Both are quick and intelligent and hustle (well when Rondo wants to). More active & effective than Tyreke, EG, or Tim Frazier would have been imo.

over/under September for our medical crew screwing up this wet dream

You like to cherry pick statements when I already made my point clear on why it works with Davis and Cousins.

I'm not cherry picking statements, you said Rondo has been bad because the spacing has been bad and then you said it will be different because AD/DC are tall/jump high. That might actually be true because Rondo is a good passer and AD/DC had several plays with each other where 7 footer passing high to 7 footer lead to an easy score despite being triple or quadruple teamed. But don't you see how "it will work because AD/DC are tall/jump high" seems like a less likely outcome than "it won't work because there is no spacing with Hill and Rondo on the floor at the same time."

I hope best case scenario Rondo happens. I just don't see any reason to expect much more than we got out of Frazier.

Honestly the best thing about the signing is... Demarcus Cousins is happy that the front office was willing to listen to him. If Demarcus is happy, he's going to re-sign with us, which in turn makes AD happy.

Sounds good to me.

Pels fans overreacting the same way they did when they got Cousins. Pelicans aint going anywhere next year, especially with Gentry.

None of us thinking championship, but if we are a top 6 seed in the west that will be huge for this team.

Most of us if not all of us know what we are getting in Rondo and most of us will chalk this up to a successful season if we win a few playoffs games. I'm not saying a first round win but I think we are capable of winning a few. Besides we have been projected to be a playoff team in the West before the Rondo signing.


But it fits your narrative better that we are delusional and overreacting.

And that's exactly what we need to do to keep Cousins. Seeing that he has never made the playoffs before, if we get there, I don't think he'd want to walk away from that.

I feel like we'll get the five seed but end up facing the Spurs and lose in seven.

I would break so much shite if that happened.
