    Yes to a Rondo Reunion. He can coast & coach during the regular season with Westbrook and Nunn eating the PG minutes. Then, one final helping of Playoff Rondo please!

    If they're over 33 years old or retired (even better!), we're ESPECIALLY interested.


    For me, the difference is Dudz is not better than the available bigs. Rondo is leaps and bounds better than the out of the league PGs we're looking at.

    I also think 'Do is a greater asset to Vogel and the coaches room.

    My best case scenario is Dudz joins the coaching staff this season. 'Do returns for one last hurrah and then joins him as am assistant coach the following year.

    I'd rather have Beverley on the court than Rondo. Beverley can play d and shoot 40% Rondo can do neither.

    I'd rather have Rondo in the locker room though no doubt, i just think his game is washed.

    Big no from me on Rondo

    I understand the hesitation on Rondo, but there are three reasons why I still want him:

    He is still one of the great basketball minds right up there with Kobe and LeBron.
    He stays in amazing shape.
    He will show up in the playoffs.

    My thing with Beverly is that I would want him if there was such a thing as a personality transplant. I have never liked dirty players. Tough players yes. Dirty players...

    How do the Nets still have room for anyone? Oh and I’d take Rondo back. He’s getting up there, but he can still give you 10 mins and be a great leader. If we had a spot got Dudley we have one for Rondo.

    I've seen enough championships to know that you win them by having smart playmakers like Rondo. It's not just what he does on the court, but he sees teams and figures them out in ways that the younger, dumber, and less experienced players don’t. The wisdom he brings to the locker room would be worth every (veteran's minimum) penny.

    Rondo and Millsap would be a nice way to close our roster.

    Just from a playing standpoint and nothing else I would take Beverley. When you factor in all of the other variables, locker room cohesiveness, getting unnecessary technicals, refs making calls they wouldn't normally make etc etc....


    I'd still take Beverley over Rondo lmao.

    Rondos shot at this stage and the argument to have him on the court because he has championship experience doesn't hold water here because we have LeBron and AD who also have that along with seasoned vets like Russ and Melo.

    Rondo would make a nice coach but he doesn't add enough on the court to take a roster spot similar to Dudz.

    Aside from all that we don't need anymore guards anyways, we don't have enough minutes for the ones we have. We need big bodies 4-5's

    Rondo can still deliver. I think he will take it personal against the Clippers should we need him to. Question, if Playoff Rondo meaningfully contributes to another championship for the Lakers, does he earn a place as a Laker or is he forever C bag Rondo?



    Regardless I still believe (Rondo can deliver some key plays, strategies and moments for our team)
