    Darn, that’s really too bad, I mean, shucks that sure does stink. But hey, be cautious I say, don’t want to rush it, take it day to day, maybe month to month, hell I wouldn’t be mad if he took it year to year.

    we desperately need a legit backup PG, IF Rondo is starting the yr with an injury, I'd imagine he'd only pickup more injuries throughout the season. NONE of our guards are play makers, not even Caruso IMO

    Will you guys give the rotations a chance once we have Kuzma back? Not stressing about Rondo. Caruso's coming along fine and so has Cook been a pleasant surprise. Kuzma will make a world of difference too if as he's alluding to he's stepped his game up in exactly that department. Who are you trading? If we're making someone expendable it's for Iggy.

    like that caruso is getting a shot with this minor injury. the reps will help, too, as no way rondo makes it the whole way healthy.

    Caruso is a playmaker and he's a legit backup PG. Cook obviously isn't but I like him anyway. Rondo might be better this year with guys like AD and Dwight to play with.

    again this is why we need another legit player maker at the guard spot, banking on Rondo to come back and stay healthy at his age is like betting red when the last 10 spin turned up black

    there's no rush though. Whether it's Iggy or someone else on the buyout market, that's the route we take unless we want to deplete depth after Dec 15th. Unless a ridiculously good trade opportunity presents itself and excluding dumping KCP for some team's popcorn guy, just wait to see what becomes available on the open market. It'll happen, but it might be a few months.

    So 50/50? The last 10 spins are inconsequential to the next spin if there are only 2 equal outcomes.

    Yep - I'm totally fine with Rondo being out. We got Caruso - we do not NEED Rondo.

    whatever Caruso showed during the dark days at the end of last season isn't showing up right now, I just see a guy thats "there"....his D is solid but I dont see any play making, I dont see any dribble penetration for kick outs, and I hardly ever see any good shooting from him either.

    He's also getting random minutes with differing sets of teammates which doesn't help a lot toward him getting into a groove yet. Just saying.
