Rajon Rondo Traded To Dallas Mavericks

[Djason Unchained]

He got a T less than 15 seconds into the second the half....How does that even happen? Is it even possible?

 

I thought it was undeserving but at the same time Rondo was not engaged into the game at all and that is criminal in the playoffs.

He's an upgrade over Lin but I kind of want to see how Clarkston does. He finished strong. Problem is that Kobe wants Rondo.

 

I'm not sure he is.

What did he even do? I didn't see it, just saw that he got one literally right as the half opened.

The game has passed by PGs like Rondo. He can't shoot, not even a little bit. He is shooting 39% from the free throw line. FREE THROWS!!!! Everything is about spacing and pace now and with him on the court you let the defense play 5 on 4. That's not even factoring how terrible he is in the locker room and as a teammate.

If I'm the Lakers, I want the 4th pick. You're guaranteed to get either Mudiay or Russell there. Both are going to be stud PGs at the next level IMO. Pairing them with Randle and a FA or two and they'll be back to relevance in no time at all.

Barkley absolutely let him have it on Inside following the games last night. Took him to task for not having his head anywhere near the game, which is completely criminal during the playoffs. Even in the 10 he played, he was all over the place and was really poor.

He deserved every bit of it.

K Love wants to come to LA. Worst kept secret in the NBA is the Lakers are going to get Rondo and K Love.

Whatever Laker loyalty I have will go bye-bye when this happens.

They need to pass on Rondo. Bring in Love and draft either Mudiay or Russell and they'll be a playoff team next season if Love opts out.

I'd like that team with the 4th pick and no Rondo.

Right. Rondo being the deal-breaker.

Truth.

I'm not sold on K Love coming to LA. Not yet. Rondo could possibly be playing his way out of the league right now. Kobe wants him but the LA front office doesn't always listen to Kobe. The offseason is going to be interesting.

Is he even trying on defense?
