The DMC signing is a steal for us because of the contract terms (length, salary) and because we have insurance in McGee. Its a win-win for us no matter what way you roll the dice.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/27134148/lakers-agree-cousins-bring-back-rondo Rondo, 33 (DOB: 2/22/86), is entering his 14th NBA season. The four-time All-Star holds career averages of 10.4 points, 8.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.9 steals. He's 18th on the NBA's career assists list and needs 62 to pass Tony Parker.
Yeah. Oh I want to see them play and I will miss that career arc with those players I really liked. But realized during the trade deadline debacle that I was in the middle of a really big wave and just along for the ride. It's what people like yourself had been saying all along would be the case. Stopped fighting it. Kawhi and PG teamup a shocker last night of course.
If that’s a minimum deal, which it appears to be going off his years in the league, that’s a fantastic signing. That’s the kind of signing some analysts that aren’t clowns talked about players making to come play with LeBron and AD. That’s what mankind a trade for AD instead of waiting around and hoping for a star to sign here gets you. That’s why you always go get the star first even if the cost is “high”.
Gotta give props to the Lakers FO and Anthony Davis for getting Boogie and Rondo on team friendly minimum contracts. Relationships within the inner circles of NBA matter.
I'm just messing with you. They went to a good situation and should be fun to watch. Yes, shocker last night; I woke up to it and 430 a.m. LOL. We'll be fine, though.
The last time DeMarcus Cousins played with Anthony Davis he averaged 25.2 PPG, 12.9 RBPG and 5.4 APG.
