Bradley, Rondo, KCP opt out

[Trollsmasher]

LeBountiful is about to bestow the league's wealth unto another pack of middling players

Predictions on how much they get paid and when will their contracts be stretched by other teams as they fall out of the league without his Greatness making them look like legit NBA players?

[lxlHoTsAuSelxl]

LeRobinhood, helps the poor.

[rawimpact]

Honestly let Bradly and KCP go... KCP was horrible outside of a few games in the playoffs. Him and DGreen stunk it up pretty bad. Bradley, well... yeah, he chose to remove himself because of the chance of getting covid, so what's changed now besides the season?

How are the lakers not worried about Davis leaving? I mean he is having a meeting with the warriors who when all are healthy that would the best inside-out team in NBA history.

[Doranku]

Why does no one want to play with LeBron? Why is everyone opting out?

its ok to accept reality dude. you're looking like trump out here clinging to fantasies. :kobe:

[Kiddlovesnets]

The Nets can use Bradley, we need a defensive SG to pair with Irving who is great on offense but a liability on defense. Since its too hard to get Holiday, it wont be a bad idea to land Bradley, who is also a good friend with Durant.

[NBAGOAT]

one of bradley/rondo is gone for sure

If true they might even be better than they were with Durant. I want LA to lose him but not if it leads to another unbeatable squad.

rondo is a cocky little ****er. he probably thinks he's going to get paid and win a legacy ring at the same time with the clippers.


not that anyone can blame him. gotta go for the $$$.

dont forget bradley sat out the bubble. it's possible he might sit out the whole season so he doesnt risk his kid getting covid

I'm sure Rondo wasn't happy about getting paid 2M while Bradley sits out making 4x that much. Rondo may be looking for a payday w/ lakers.

[bison]

Lakers would be wise to try to retain Bradley. He was the most consistent role player last season. I would love to have KCP back too. His hot streaks more than make up for his slumps.

How would the Warriors pay anything close to what the Lakers can offer and off a championship season?

I mean, people used to say nobody wanted to come to LA to play with Kobe.. but I don't remember guys actively seeking to leave the team after they won a ring. :lol

There are way more chances Danny Red becomes a 40+ % 3pt shooter in the playoffs next season than there are of Davis leaving rn

[Tobio-Star]

Anyway, it seems likely LeBron will get his 5th ring this season. LeHaters about to switch to tennis

[lxlHoTsAuSelxl]

Rob Pelinka learned from last season(sitting around waiting for Kawhi to sign instead DI*& them around while other valuable free agents sign elsewhere) and being pro-active. Pelinka must know Rondo is leaving, being 34yrs old, he wants his last payday. Already won a chip with Boston and LA he doesn't need another ring, he wants to get paid, wouldnt you? He is good as gone.

As for Bradley, NBA restarting with 8months of games. He didn't join Lakers in the bubble because his son had health issues so why play when safety isnt as strict?

LA has KCP bird rights, can sign and be over the cap no problem but he is looking for a long term deal but LA don't want to ruin their 21-22 plan.

If Dwight wants another ring, LA can use the BAE($3.6m).

[hold this L]

Rondo, join the Warriors. Do the right thing.

Rondo is probably gonna end up staying man.

"
Rajon Rondo says he doesn’t care about money, is only in the league to try and win another ring

With more than $100 million in career earnings, Lakers veteran Rajon Rondo just wants to win champinships."


Plus he loves AD/Coaching staff/Bron etc.

[jayfan]

Honestly, Schroder, with the year he just had, was a coup for the Lakers. Should have won 6th man of year year. Was lightweight unstoppable for most of the season. They now have their 3rd option.

Point being, they're not worried about those three right now.

[pandiani17]

I hope you are right. Rondo was a key player last playoffs, it's not a good idea to lose him for nothing.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Rondo 3 year deal with clippers make it happen

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Sources: Rajon Rondo is expected to decline his player option for $2.6 million with the Lakers to become a free agent. Rondo will have teams after him, including the Clippers and Atlanta Hawks

Damn our only competition is hawks hahaha rondo to clips is pretty much a lock then.

Beverly desperately needs to be moved to a bench role. Tired of his mouth, tired of him being injury prone, tired of him being offensively worthless in playoffs.

[lxlHoTsAuSelxl]

Boston, Sac, Dallas, Chicago, NOP all didnt want Rondo. He seems like a 'know it all' and pouts when dont get his way. His first yr in LA, everybody saying he was a terrible fit next to Lebron. This pass regular season Rondo didnt do anything up until the playoffs, 6 team in 5 years?? Cant shoor from behind the arc but for once in his career shot well during the playoffs. Now everyone is riding on his bandwagon.

Rondo and Dwight was almost out of the league, turned KCP and Carushow into decent players. If these guys dont want to stay, LeElevate will do it again, turn has-beens into a must have commodity.

He can get paid in Atlanta as for Clippers, why you want to deal with the shitshow what is the Clippers.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

He gets to play with the best player in the league Kawhi. Another all-star Paul George. Any team with Kawhi is an instant contender. Clippers are 1 playmaking point guard away from a title.

[brownmamba00]

Idk where this bs derives from but some of Lakers best wins last year was with rondo AND lebron playing at the same time. Like that road game at portland.




Rondo needs to be on a contender tho

Boston he was the beat player in 2010 finals run. They just choose to rebuild and let go of Rondo.

Dallas wasn't a good fit but what is Dallas? They haven't been out of the 1st round in 9 years

Kings he led league in assists but they just sucked and haven't made playoffs in 14 years.

Chicago he went to playoffs and was up 2-0 over Celtics until Rondo got hurt and they couldn't win a game without him

Pelicans were playing like a 50 win team with Rondo in the lineup, swept blazers with Rondo putting up huge numbers, and 1 win over KD warriors when Rondo had 20 assists. Anthony Davis also admitted in press conference during playoffs that Rondo was the leader

Lakers he was 3rd best player on title team

[PP34Deuce]

Bradley- I can see taking the season off.

Rondo- Could go to the Clippers but Rondo seems like he needs a team that lets him coast regular season, give him perks of a star player. Clippers could offer that. Who ever is willing to give him 10+M a year for a 2-3 year deal gets him I think.

KCP- Tough. Klutch client. But wants a 4-5 year deal with security. I think the fact that he's durable is a reason I'd overpay for KCP again. Wesley Matthews is a better shooter but KCP has game breaking athletic ability.

Clippers will probably never coast like they did 19-20 season. They learned their lesson.
No one is going to offer Rondo that kind of money IMO. Teams dont have a single season memory. They know how he played and acted with the Mavs, Sac etc. etc.

I dont even know how you came to the conclusion KCP is tough or even 'kluch [sic]' besides one game.

I think he meant he's a klutch client as in bron and AD's agency.

I can see somebody throwing rondo a 2 year+player option deal. 10mill per....

Thats nothing in this market for point guards. Have you seen rubio's salary?

If you follow Laker ball you would know. Fans wanted to take off KCP/Rondo's heads most of last year. KCP was getting bashed left and right since he joined LA but all that stopped when Anthony Davis arrived.

Thanks to Lebron and AD making scrubs relevant again. These roll players were able to elevate their game playing next to AD/Lebron amd had a good coaching system.

Rondo has a track record of not fitting anywhere, again 6 teams in 5 years? People all of a sudden acting like Rondo has always been a star just because this last playoff.

He fits in with LA stars and system, now people acting like he can play anywhere and be a 3rd star.

That was PRE-Covid contract when things were ballooning left and right. That lakers scrub got 64 million for 4 years zubac or whatever which looked to be a decent deal after what else was being thrown around.

Now that the NBA saw a 30% decrease in their profits, their CAP will surely adjust. Maybe not soon but long term it will adjust. Multi-year contracts i think will be significantly more conservative.

I could be wrong, this is just based on the economic voice the virus has provided.

[red1]

I mean, people used to say nobody wanted to come to LA to play with Kobe.. but I don't remember guys actively seeking to leave the team after they won a ring. :lol

I know you're joking but I'll still answer - they're all opting out of their contracts after their market value went up, except maybe bradley.


It's a no-brainer. These guys are in the profession to make money.


It has very little to do with who they want to play with. For all we know their dream scenario is staying with the team and running it back except on a better contract.


Rondo just made less than 3 million as the third best player on a championship team, and he's due for less than 3 mill again next year. He'd have to be mentally retarded to opt into that contract.

I did follow LA bball. You remember our franchise point guard Lonzo Ball getting benched for Rondo? You don't think Bron had anything to do with that?

[AnaheimLakers24]

All im saying everyone, fans, organizations believed Rondo was cancer, done, 1 more bs season to being out of the NBA. Again 6 teams in 5 years for a reason. People all of a sudden thinks he is a legit 3rd option.

He lucked out and was able to blend in alongside AD, Lebron, and he also accepted Vogel's style. What if Bradley joined LA in the bubble or what if Rondo missed more time or didnt comeback after the hand/wrist injury.

This is like Utah Jazz and Deron William. Once he left to the Nets it went downhill after. Deron freakin Williams who can make a case was better then CP3.

[scuzzy]

I mean, people used to say nobody wanted to come to LA to play with Kobe.. but I don't remember guys actively seeking to leave the team after they won a ring. :lol

Rondo so sought after like a trending instagram whore, 6 teams in 5 years. Worth is so high, he signed for 2yr 5mil with LA.

Dude was cancer and was heading out of the league but playing along side AD, Lebron, Vogel system raised his value. Playing 2-3 months in the bubble now everybody think he is Rondo of old lol.

[highwhey]

rondo would be my priority to keep. do the lakers have the money to keep him?

[lxlHoTsAuSelxl]

KCP has been in LA for 3 years and every time season starts, fans wanted him out like how they wants Green/Kuz gone. How fans were pissed at them during the playoffs was how they felt with KCP year after year. Same as Rondo, just cause he made some layups(once in a lifetime) in the game 6 finals, people are overrating his value. Im telling you, these guys look better then usual playing along side Lebron, AD, Vogel's system. Even a d-leaguer in Caruso became an asset.

Last year when they signed KCP to 2yr 18m, all real Laker fans thought it was a terrible deal. Again, all these scrubs look good playing along side Lebron.

Except for Kuz, dude is just a f*&^ up. Empty stats on a bad team, cant even be 3rd best player along side 2 superstars and avg players. Can't even make shots when it counts during the playoffs instead put out a shiet show.

I dont know what some on here are talking about, they probably just watch highlights on espn/youtube and base players worth off that.
