Rondo cited Boston as a highlight in his career, but about the overall Lakers organization so far: “Can’t say it’s not the best I’ve ever played for.”

... and just like that, he was dead to me.

I say we invite him to the Garden, telling him we’re retiring his jersey. Then we retire Ray’s instead.

That quote doesn't match the headline.  It doesn't definitely say they are the best org he's played for.  You ought to provide a link to the story.

Darn it Rondo. Why?!

Seeing him in purple and gold was bad enough

It’s a tweet. That’s the whole story.

Hmmm...Rondo "torture proposition" based on Rondo Laker love is thoroughly reasonable.

You are now dead to me Rajon Rondo!

[Trudell] Rondo said he told LeBron on the plane the other day that he’s “never seen” 12 guys on one team all watching film. Added that LeBron had the attention of the entire group a few days ago during a film session. Said it’s an encouraging sign.

I always dreamt of him returning as a bench PG, donning #9 again and winning a ring with us.

Now I hope he gets swept in the first round!

Rondo ingratiating himself to LeBron is definitely one way he that he isn't looking for a new team next season.

Rondo; something in him that he loves to give people a poke.

That's because Rondo was one of the guys not watching the game film and instead throwing the water bottle at the screen during his time in Boston

He has also said that LeBron James is a female dog.

LOL what do we all expect?

Anyone here that is shocked must NOT know what's at stake, here - or do not want to admit the possibilities..

For Rajon Rondo (and of course LeBron James) to have a successful time in LakerLand this means - ultimately - The Lakers' 17th Championship.

If they have a successful season (50+ wins, IMO) and a 2nd round playoff exit (quite possible that they make the 2nd round, if healthy) then Rajon Rondo WILL come back for a 2nd year or more..

Make NO mistake, here - if Rajon Rondo is a key part of helping the Los Angeles Lakers achieve their 17th Championship (with LeBron James playing at an MVP-like level), then don't we ALL know that he is simply punching his ticket into the HOF?

He would be doing ALL OF THIS at the expense of the team that gave him his opportunity to shine, and his current team's HATED rivals The Boston Celtics.

Rajon Rondo knows what's at stake - don't let him fool ANYONE, here.

Dude is dialed in COMPLETELY and ready to stick it to The Green.

Isaiah Thomas was BARELY ready - as a Pre-Injury Rajon Rondo was controlling that CHI series a couple of years ago.

Lord I hope Kyrie and Scary Terry are ready. They'd better bring their A-Games.



If we mess around, Kyrie's going to get Rondo'd. He'd better be ready.
