Rozier is likely going to get an offer that takes him elsewhere and the Celtics desperately need a pass first pg to create shots for their many offensive options, who can play defense....LA would have been crazy to say no...

... who can play defense.

So, why Rondo again?

But no. He doesn’t mesh with Stevens.

Rondo burned his bridge down here, so you are right, it's pointless to debate because it would never happen.

I’d rather have Rondo, sure.  He’s become a pretty good leader in recent seasons- something we could really use.

It was funny seeing the comment about playing defense. I was reading a Lakers forum recently and they were blasting Rondo for playing no defense this year and coasting/stat-padding since the All Star Break.

He just doesn't seem to have it physically anymore... The guys been injured more than anyone in the league at this point.

Rondo isn’t the best fit either. He’s too ball dominate and the other guys can crate their own shots.  They aren’t the kind of guys that will sit around waiting to be set up.

Would rather have a 3 and D type PG.

I like Rondo, but while I would've been okay with him on the team. He's a ball dominant PG, who doesn't adhere to ball movement. He's also burned too many bridges. So nah.

Would've done a Rozier for Pat Beverely swap to be honest. Gotta match salaries, would've thrown in Yabusele.

For Rondo, no.  In general, yes.
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Bigs - Shaquille O'Neal, Victor Wembanyama
Wings -  Lebron James
Guards - Luka Doncic

No.  Sign Rondo off the bench for next year...

He is good to great when the games matter, like Horford though of course not as valuable overall as Horford.

He dismantled us with Chicago.  He dismantled the Blazers with the Pelicans.  He is a good teammate who has his teammates back during melees. 

He delivers the ball to the scorers. 

He is a playoff stabilizer. 



I don't know why people think the Lakers should have won this year considering all their injuries.  Terrible year injury wise for that team. 

Next year Rondo off bench if Kyrie not here...
