    Rondo was a good liaison between coaches and the young ones and maybe to some extent between LBJ and the young ones. The young ones are gone besides Kuzma who LBJ likes and plays well with. I don't see what Rondo brings now that we need. The locker room will be filled with vets and I have little worries about chemistry. We can't have such a hole @ the PG position, not in this day in this league. We don't need a big scorer, 10 pts is fine but we need an fairly efficient one and a good defender.

    I think the team is a little over-impressed by Rondo's 3pt shooting with us (36% - 3 attempts) which was good but very low output and the defense is just not justified.

    I hope he returns to the C bags word is they are interested.

    Dammit. 2nd year better be a team option. If it’s not for the minimum I guess Morris is out. Oh well, we needed another ball handler I guess.

    Fills a big need and expected all summer tbh.
    I would have hoped for someone else though but it is what it is.

    We needed a playmaker for when Lebron sits. I’m fine with this considering the market. Once again though, just really hope there’s room left for Morris.

    Damn, hope this doesn't mean Caruso is gone. But I think it may. I agree that we need play makers and Rondo has a ton of experience with Boogie and AD, but I just think Caruso brings something on defense that Cook and Rondo can't which we need around the PG spot.

    If it does I’ll be pissed... Caruso is a better player right now. I’ll take PoP any day over Jiminy Cricket

    Positions 1 & 2 get D’d up by the clips. Wondering if our competitive advantage for the season will ultimately be the interior old school game even though we’ve focused on 3pt shooting.
