    I would have taken Rondo over Rose. Neither are high character guys but at least Rondo wants to win.DRose is fine with sitting on the bench a extra year recovering from his injury when he's able to play.

    The question better seems to be , character aside, Rose or Caruso or Ennis playing in front of frothing full house Lakers hating crowds on the road, or full house going bonkers in Staples? He's been on/in the biggest of stages and pressure situations. I'd assume Magic and Rob, maybe Luke too (?) fully vetting him in the face to face talks.

    I think the Lakers are dragging their feet on signing a new pg cause Magic wants to come out of retirement.

    Makes sense. If he's going to get a bench role, might as well be for a contender.

    First of all this is a Lakers gym because they have our logo on it, but the its not really "the Lakers" gym.

    This guy makes it sound like its the Lakers gym #FakeNews

    Doesn't matter now though with the Cavs news

    Sigh. Why would you bring in Rose if you want leaders and good people on the team?

    ^^^The better to drive the king out of his kingdom with.

    The Rondo signing would have been perfect, but dude did not want to come off the bench and had strong ties with Cuz. I think we tried to pull the shell over his eyes with Kuz and playing with him on the 2nd unit...but dude didn't fall for it. I guess no turtle in purple after all. I still think the Lakers should trade for one, cause the open market is dry. Heck even Ty Lawson is no longer an option, instead heading to China.

    Sorry about that Ox, I thought you were talking about the Cavs interest in Drose and not this Lakers "forum insider" rumor.

    I think I just realized what's going to happen... The Lakers are going to get Rose and then say, "we just took a contender from the Cavs offering the same role and similar money." Then they'll say some religious stuff and then drop the mic.

    Magic, "Derrick, if you want to play with LeBron he'll be here next year, possibly at the trade deadline this year."

    If we get Rose, do you think he'll talk about himself, Lopez and Deng and then say we're a new Superteam?

    ESPN's story. I don't know what Nichols thinks qualifies for a "bidding war", but when one team is offering 4 million and the other is offering 2 million... for a former NBA MVP, I don't think that's a bidding war...
