Good article about it...
Agree nothing he could do in LA. what's funny is if the Cavs made him an offer (with Lebron there) and he chose LA, Gilbert would get ripped.
More amusing is Lebron said he wants to play with smart players, and LA has added McGee, Stephenson and Rondo.
Lol, setting the bar high. James is done, might as well have stayed in Cleveland.
Rondo has a good basketball IQ, I think. The other two, not so much. I think LeBron is playing this season with house money, and will likely make a big run next year with some new key pieces
Rondo probably does, but seems to be a bit of a headcase which might negate his bball IQ.
Thats not Rondo's only problem.
Lol, no. I like Horford over Cousins any day of the week, Boston's lineup is just fine. They don't need washed up Boogie, who can't play a full 82 game schedule. The Achilles injury will be tough for him to get over.
Just fine to get to Finals....wouldn't they want a chance to win?
Indeed, Rondo is a smart player, he's just a prick, which is why most people don't want to play with him. But..... he does drop dimes like no other PG in the league.
I wonder if the same can be said of Lebron - smart player but a prick. PG and Kyrie for sure didn't want to play with him. I would bet Cousins could have gone to LA, as well, if he called them instead.
I can definitely see LeBron and Rondo butting heads since both insist on having the ball in their hands. LeBron ran the point a lot in the past, that won't fly with Rondo. Probably why LeBron and Kyrie weren't best buds either.
I'm betting Cousins is the one that passed. If we are talking about the same amount of cash who would the logical player rather play for? Hmmmmmmmm
Right.....Lakers can say whatever they want, but it doesn't mean it's true. Might have happened, but who knows?
Rondo's IQ is off the charts. Very smart player. Many of former teammates have said such.
Yea and if Boogie proves everyone wrong and the Warriors steam roll thru the playoffs.... He will get paid the following year. It's essentially a 1 year rental.
They'll steamroll through the playoffs regardless. But, yeah, if he proves he can play someone will pay him next year.
Rockets almost had them. They are vulnerable when teams get physical with them like Houston could. Boogie healthy gives them a guy that they can dump it into and carry them when the jump shots aren't falling.
Lebron is 34 this upcoming season. 2019-2020 he is 35 and the Warriors 4 guys will all still be younger and in their prime. I don't see Lebron winning that season either. So you are telling me a 36 year old Lebron is gonna carry the Lakers? The Warriors 4 guys are all still 30 and under as well. Plus you can see Durant is on these short contracts from here on out to give himself flexibility and ability to win as much as possible. Lebron is the better player all time..... But Durant , Curry , Thompson are all gonna win more titles. I honestly think barring any major or untimely injuries the Warriors have the next 2 years in the bag. After that who knows? Might be the beginning of a Dynasty with all new players for a different franchise. Maybe the Celtics finally break through for 2-3 years? One thing for sure is father time is undefeated.
I'm sure Lebron's move is in part about life, but don't think he's abandoned the title pursuing business. Pretty much this season was already conceded to the Warriors. If Kawhi is serious about joining the Lakers as a FA and Klay (who would be a key loss from the GS dynasty) signs on, they'll be more than viable contenders next year. Don't discount the Lakers young corp.
If you were Kawhi , what looks better to you. LA or Boston
As far as strength goes, probably Boston. But aren't you aware that he's declared his desire to join the Lakers? Don't forget about Klay being available.
