    Yes, he’s not good. But meh, it’s the minimum, could be worse, if we signed that 1 player below him :D . Seriously though, here’s some praise at least

    Man I wish we had Hart instead of KCP.

    Can’t say I disagree. The only argument I can make is that KCP has been more durable than Hart. But the counter to that it causes him to see the court more. :D Maybe he won’t be as bad as he was to start last season, certainly not as good as he was to close, hopefully some middle ground.

    Yeah as long as Green takes up all his minutes, I’m fine. Maybe Troy outplays him too.

    Good/expected move at that price.

    -Leadership to a group who hasn't played together.
    -Bron and teammates swear by him.
    -Experience with AD and Boogie.
    -Had nothing but good things to say about our coaching staff last year, just imagine the praise he'll give a real staff.
    -Hopefully leapfrogs Kidd in two years and takes his coaching spot on the bench.
    -CP3's face will always need spit on it. I have two new targets for him too...just a hallway away.

    #StartCaruso. Or Cook, I don’t care really, just not Rondo.

    Bleh.. can see it already Lebron will be handling the rock far too often. Just like Kobe was doing late in his career when we were weak at the point, he'd bring the ball up and facilitate. It's a ton of extra work on an old body to cover for these scrubs.

    I have respected Rondo for awhile now, but was really worried we would give him more than the min. That being said I hope it isn’t a situation where his “name” gives him the starting job. Caruso and Cook are way better fits for this team

    It won't be because of name, but very well could be because Bron wants it and his preexisting relationship with AD.

    Maybe it was coaching last year? I'm hoping so because he really wasn't a good fit last year, and some of those numbers alongside LeBron were pretty ugly.

    That's why I'd rather him come off the bench.

    Last time Rondo had a postive impact was in 2012 ( I'm not joking) .

    He's fine for ... a 3rd string PG.

    If he keeps starting it will be another dissapointed season .

    He is THAT bad

    Rondo's play with the Pelicans against the Blazers was his last good series.

    Frankie V has his work cut out for him. Lots of egos and crazy people on this team.

    Hopefully Caruso gets the nod to start.

    Rondo starting makes no sense. I'd rather him orchestrating the bench, spoon feeding Kuz and Cousins.

    If anything, Cook really makes sense with the starting squad as an added shooter next to Green.
