Rando is gonna be a Knick.

And then Phill is gonna get fired and sit and collect his money.

Rondo is an incredible and experienced point guard and Clarkson could learn a lot from him. Lakers should definitely try to get Rondo as soon as possible, before someone else snatches him up.
I feel bad after writing this.

Rondo's shooting makes him a perfect fit in the triangle.

 

[LyleLanley]

Lakers should give Rondo a full max contract.

Report: Billy King could be in line for contract extension

It was yet another loss in a down season for the Nets, and it might’ve indicated that changes might be on the horizon for their decision-makers. But while one assistant general manager might be on the outs, head honcho Billy King might be in line for a contract extension. Per Grantland’s Zach Lowe:

"The Nets did not pick up their option for next season on Bobby Marks, a cap whiz who has been with the franchise for 20 years, per Mike Mazzeo of ESPN New York. There are also serious rumblings that GM Billy King is on the verge of a contract extension, but Nets officials are mum on the matter."

As a lakers fan and huge fan of how rondo used to play, i gotta think it's a bad idea to sign him. He's just too unpredictable. It's really hard to give him the benefit of the doubt after that shit in dallas.

Do it, LA. I would love to see a Kobe & Rondo backcourt.

Finally, we'll see Kobe strangle someone on the court.

A Rondo Kobe backcourt might actually work. Rondo can't shoot so naturally he'll just keep feeding Kobe ..

That hasn't worked out well for Rondo for a while now.

 

[CD'S BAR]

Plus Kobe probably going to be averaging like 20-25mpg, and probably seeing retirement after this season, seems like it'd hardly even be worth the experiment.

shhhh...I want to see it happen..

In more exciting news than anything going on with the Lakers, James Dolan has hired Isiah Thomas to be the president of his basketball team.

If i'm a losing team I would avoid Rondo either.. Even if I don't have a young PG lke Clarkson. Rondo's locker room antics when shit goes bad is cancerous. I wouldn't want him in a young team.

Nets want to trade up in draft

Nets general manager Billy King, via Thomas Duffy of Nets Daily:

I will say that we’re trying to move up in the draft. We’ll explore options to get higher. … We already know of some teams who maybe want to move their pick so we’ll be talking to them next week.

Luckily the Nets have a mountain of assets that they can include in a deal...

Report: Kevin Love ‘holds no long-lasting ill will’ toward Celtics, Kelly Olynyk

David Aldridge of NBA.com:
I’m told authoritatively that Love holds no long-lasting ill will toward either the Celtics or Olynyk.

That must be welcome news to the Celtics, who planned to pursue Love in free agency before Olynyk’s yanked clouded the picture.

So you're telling me there's a chance?

Love isn't staying East, the conference that King James reigns in.

He's not stupid enough to go West. Except for maybe the Lakers.

So who gets screwed in the lottery this year?

 

[effzee]

So who gets screwed in the lottery this year?

Sixers. Somehow Cavs will end up with #1 pick again.

 

[Gully State]

Which team would be most likely to draft a bust with the number 1 pick?

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Posted this yesterday, was confused at which thread was off-season thread.

Raptors firing a bunch of assistant coaches and hitting reset with their coach who in fact is the problem. Smfh

76ers don't deserve to get the number 1 pick, because that franchise the goal was to tank as badly as possible. Wolves at least tried to be competitive and allowed their players to grow. Any shit team that isn't the sixers, I would be ok with even the Knicks.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I'd wager the one with "offseason" in the thread title.

LOTTERY!!!!!

GO LAKERS!!!!

Wolves, naturally.

Fuck just realized Bulls used up their CHA pick last year.

Lakers don't even need Rondo. If they decide not to sign Rondo, Lakers are official moving in the right direction. Don't even think Lakers fanbase want him either.

 

[Kobe24]

My blood pressure is building up

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Ready for the wolves to get the #4 pick yet again. Don't even feel bad about saying it because the franchise is cursed beyond any possible 'jinx' I could put on it.

That's what I'm pointing out...I mean they got Clarkson at pg..it's the last position they could possibly need

 

[thefatness16]

I'm hoping the Heat get extremely lucky so we can pick up Mario Hezonja. I'll be ok settling for Devin Booker though.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Affirmative.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Hopefully Miami doesn't lose their pick. I also hope the Knicks don't get a top three pick.

odds are greatest for #4!!! yippeee!

usually I'm slightly excited for the lottery, when you are 4-7 or so you have the potential to move up (which wolves never have...). Wolves only have the odds to move back this year.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Hold me, GAF.

I'm feeling basketball reasons are going to make the 17.2% chance a reality.

 

[friskykillface]

Heat, Lakers , Knicks getting top 3

8.8% chance wooo.

On the bright side, least the f'ing Cavs cannot get the #1 this year.

No Mallory Edens this year.....

 

[dream]

Opting to play in China instead of college, where there's at least a smidgen of a chance of you learning something, strikes me as a profoundly horrible idea.

If things go bad then we just have to look at our other rebuilding assets rather than dwelling on the bad.
