[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Is that a new race?

[Imtheman]

Because Laker fans are attracted to household names..

See Dwight Howard and Steve Nash

Why not post in the rather large Rondo Laker thread in the first page?

Laker fans are fond of players who think they're really good, when in fact they're not and that their success comes from being carried by other great players.

does that answer your questions?

[Big_Dogg]

I know that for me personally, I've always thought Rondo was over rated and was not a fit for the Lakers.

But I'm not Mitch, so if he gets him he gets him, I won't be happy about it but I'm not going to cry about it either, what happens in the offseason happens.

What the hell crack is OP on

90% of the Lakers fans are against getting Rondo

[Taller than CP3]

because Rondo is alpha

Kobe + Rondo = MOST ALPHA TEAM EVER

Dude averaged 8/3 on sub 40%fg for his career and is currently the single worst coach in the NBA :biggums:

Kobe w/o Fisher.....ZERO rings!

It's crazy how the Lakers haven't really had a great PG since Nick Van Exel.

Dude wasn't even a great PG.

They don't need a point guard because they have a ball dominant shooting guard in Kobe Bryant.

[Timmy D for MVP]

The Lakers fans I know want nothing to do with Rondo.

But it would be hilarious is they spend a lot of money to get him.

[Genaro]

The way I see Rondo won't bring much in basketball matters but the casual fans (and the Lakers got a lot of them) will be pleased and won't complain about the FO not making moves like this year.
As a Laker fan who watches the NBA every day, all I can say is it would be the worst move they made since bringing MDA to coach the Big 4.

Dat playoff Rondo doe...

[buddha]

lakers aren't gonna get Rondo. They got Clarkson and might be drafting Russell or Mudiya

[Collie]

I don't think many Lakers fans want Rondo.

They don't. I'm not even sure where OP is getting this from. :confusedshrug:

[wakencdukest]

Fvck Rondo. No one want's him except for old ass Kobe who's going to be gone in a year anyway. It will be a waste of money.

[fiddy]

I want Rondo for the right price $$$, maybe 5m per is ok.

[gts]

somebody will pay him more than that... I'd take him too for that price, worth the gamble because if he works out he's a heck of a player just not sold on the "works out" part

Problem is If he'd fit in with Scott, I think he would because Scott lets his PG's have some freedom.. Rondo was never going to work in Dallas because Carlisle is a micromanager, calls every play. Scott doesn't do that during the normal flow of the game for the most part

[kentatm]

Yea man, its crazy alpha to purposely get an 8 second violation b/c you are butthurt the HC wants to call a play. :yaohappy:

Yea, that ain't true and is a bunch of horseshit being pushed by Rondo's bitchmade camp. He will call a few but if the offense is in a flow he leaves it alone. He was calling plays w/Rondo b/c the dumb**** was ignoring the playbook and was trying to wing it leading to stupid turnovers.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Was thinking the same thing.

Guy's game is equivalent to a waste basket, and would only cause friction with Scott and the young laker core.

[DDensity]

It's crazy how the Lakers haven't really had a great PG since Nick Van Exel.

The reason for that is simple: Phil Jackson was the coach for the majority of time since the NVE era. The triangle deemphasizes the strengths of many PGs and turns them into spot up shooters. Case in point, who did the Bulls have at PG during the Jordan era? It was a revolving door of mediocrity.

The majority of fans, Lakers fans or otherwise, don't know basketball at all. Lakers have a lot of fans, so the proportion of those who are clueless in comparison to other teams is pretty high. The reason I say this is that any fan with a clue knows that Fisher was just a stable placeholder PG. Aside from being tough minded, he was below average in just about every category. His most important role was being a level headed voice in the locker room. Aside from that, his actual basketball skills were laughable. It's not a coincidence even scrub PGs would have career nights on the Lakers, with Fisher playing "defense".

So yes, NVE was the last good PG we had. Good, not great -- I was a huge fan. It's hard to be upset about 5 titles during the shitty-PG-era, though. Rondo would just extend the shitty-PG era. I'm in the camp of Lakers fans who absolutely don't want Rondo around. I'll go a step further that the only free agents we should be after are bonafide all stars with a lengthy career ahead of them. Otherwise, just keep stacking young undeveloped talent, and develop them. I'd rather be terrible than perpetually mediocre, not that Rondo would turn the dial even towards mediocre, he would add nothing to this team.

[Smoke117]

Desperation leads to poor choices. A known fact throughout history. Lets all hope they make this one.

Carlisle has had players complaining about his micromanagement going back to his days with the Pacers.. Jason Kidd complained about it when he joined the Mavericks The pistons players complained about it.. let's not make this a Rondo thing when it's been out there for years...

I didn't even say it's a bad thing, I just said his style of managing the team on the floor didn't match up with how Rondo plays the game but get out of here with that Rondo's camp crap when it's been a knock on Carlisle for years

[DirkNowitzki41]

I've never seen someone quit in the 2nd game of a first round series. Rondo is a ****ing joke.

Rondo wants to put up stats and lose, so I guess LAL is perfect for him.

Couldn't be more glad that he's gone.
