I hear a rumor they are interested in buying a couple of the IHOP's chain restaurants together.

International House of Players (stuck on bad teams). I hear 2006 Paul Pierce is a silent partner.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

What do you think would be a fair deal for Rondo to the Lakers?

Baxter Holmes wrote that Nash's expiring plus two firsts would probably get it done (this was just him speculating)

I'm not sure if that's fair, considering they can't deal us their first this year since it is owed to Phoenix, which also means they can't deal theirs next year. I'm not sure if I deal Rondo for a Laker's first in 2017 and 2019, because I think the Lakers will probably be good again by then.

I'm curious where they ate: to me the best breakfast places in town are in no particular order The Beehive, Friendly Toast, and Henrietta's table but they weren't at any of those.

Not that it will be a worth while pick but the Lakers have the rockets picks this year lottery protected.

I think that's a very bad deal for the Celts.

Nash is toast and how many more draft picks do we need?

BUT...if the Lakers and Kobe were interested, I would trade for Kobe in a heartbeat.

Him and Rondo together would be a good pairing.

Plus, I like the idea of the Lakers franchise player of the last 10 years becoming a Celtic.

They met to settle a bet. That diner is famous for it's Pancake Challenge. They tied at 3 minutes, 38 seconds.

On the way out, they played 20 questions, and once on the street they played hide and seek for hours. Eventually Danny Ainge called Rondo home for dinner, and he made Kobe call Mitch Kupchak to see if he could eat over. Dinner turned into an all-night video game party and they spent the wee hours of the morning debating whether or not they'd rather have Wolverine's claws or Deadpool's swords.

They're currently planning on going to NASA space camp this summer if their general managers will let them.

All the Nets picks..? James Young and Clippers with Bradley to top it off..? I remember someone flamed me hard for suggesting AB and two Nets picks for Klay, but guess what? Klay is doing well.. I want what you're smoking dude no offense. That's a horrible trade..

To cut off rumors, I think Kobe wanted to talk to Rondo.
Rondo is one of his most favorite players in the NBA, probably wanted to talk, and see how their handling each others situations.

Glad it didn't snow here today.

That would've strengthened any potential pitch Kobe made to Rondo.

"Hey, it's not snowing in LA now, Rajon."

All kidding aside, if any "pitching" was going on, I think it would be more Kobe pitching Rondo than the other way around.

This probably means as much as Kevin Love and Rondo meeting at Fenway.

Probably less, actually, considering that when Love and Rondo got together there were serious talks between the Celtics and Timberwolves over a deal that would have sent the beach boy to Beantown lol. 

That aside, Rondo can play with anyone, but Kobe cannot play with Rondo, especially after how well he meshed with Nash (sarcasm) ::) ;D.  He's never learned how to play without the ball, and even if he did, his ego wouldn't allow it.  I don't understand how everybody like Stephen A feels so bad for Kobe and says that he deserves better (well, I understand why that guy does lol, but still.).  Need I point out how Paul Pierce had to wait ALMOST A DECADE to even make the finals, and while he was frustrated, he never drove a superstar out of town, asked to be traded, or threw temper tantrums like Bryant has, so as far as I'm concerned, Kobe playing the last two years of his career on perhaps the worst team in the league serves him right, karmically, and I hope he enjoys rotting in hell lol; and for all of you who have ever been Kobe fans - GET OFF THE BLOG lol ;D

Please Kobe, convince Rondo to sign with the Lakers.
