Crazy. Every single game now the Lakers build up a lead and then he checks in and the lead evaporates. Teams have had a negative net rating with him on the floor for a few consecutive seasons now. It's too obvious at this point that he's become a problem.

zelgiusdigby:You seem to forget that whenever Rondo's on the court, it's more likely the entire second unit is too. |

Khanben:The Colts are not a bad option as well. I think either one would work. I won't give Brady a two year deal though. Inasmuch as NE didn't have enough offensive tools it's pretty glaring that there's been a drop in Brady's play and usually the dropoff from year to year by a athlete in their 40's can be very dramatic. 1 Like |

Khanben:Maybe not long term but he can work in the interim. Bridgewater will play within his limits and would be less likely to lose his team the game. More importantly he's younger and knowing his limitations would allow for the Saints to use Taysom Hill even more. The Vikings and pretty much every other team in the league don't have an answer for the guy. I was shocked Sean Payton went away from him Bigger than the Brees matter is their corners. I don't know if they ever make a SB with those corners as I struggle to remember any game they have come up with a key stop where needed |

steady986: One of the few people with a negative net rating with Lebron on the floor is rondo. I think he has the worst. Yes our second unit is not anything to write home about but he makes things infinitely worse. There's no way they should be that bad, no way they should be losing 30+ point leads to the suns and their ilk. It's not acceptable. |

zelgiusdigby:You seem to have set the bar too high for this team. The only reason this team is considered championship favourites is because of the duo of LeBron and AD. Even one of them alone might not do the job. Take those two away and the team is just another average NBA team. We arguably had more talent around Bron last year, but how well did they fare when Bron was out? It is what it is bro, we just have to scale through to the playoffs and then figure out how we can maximize their potential. |

steady986: Its not about setting the bar too high or too low. If LeBron and AD are the reason they are seen as favorites shouldnt the lakers try to do everything possible to preserve them? Shouldnt the lakers try to be better as a team rather than relying on their safety net? Part of that is trying to maximize the bench's potential, like i said, the bench may not be filled with world beaters but they have enough to not be trash. Even AD finished with a negative plus/minus yesterday. Rondo is a problem, a problem that can be addressed so why should they just fold their arms and do nothing? |

A40: Never understood why Hill didn't get more snaps yesterday, he gave the saints a spark every time he was in. First he pushed the ball deep when he threw it and also what he did on the ground with his legs helped them move the chains. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 12:51am On Jan 07, 2020 |
steady986: If this is true the Lakers should jump on it Bogdanovic is as good as a playmaker and shot creator as Kyle kuzma and is a way better shooter than kuz. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 1:51am On Jan 07, 2020 |
We all know Lebron is the most important player in the Lakers. Anybody saying other wise is denying the obvious. We saw them when he went out and when the other guy went out. They had a losing streak with LBJ out. |

steady986: You need a good trading chip if you want such a good player and Kuzma is that piece for the Lakers. Lose some, gain some. Painfully so, I must admit. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 9:58am On Jan 07, 2020 |
Luka Doncic has 10 30pt triple doubles. More than Magic, LeNomad and Oscar Robertson combined before they turned 22. Let that sink in for a sec |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 10:38am On Jan 07, 2020 |
DeeMain:What we really need is some tough defensive wings, not duplicating what we already have. Bogdan is shooting 38% from 3 this year. KCP is on 42%, Green is on 38% Rondo is on 38%. Some variety won't be bad. 1 Like |

A40:lattimore is a good CB IMO. There is something off about the team that I can't put a finger to. Maybe its brees? Wilted something bad...a fumble? I don't know. You have a no 1 receiver who's unguardable, a sean payton, kamara was not healthy this season tho, something has to give...and they were unlucky this season...13-3? And still play a wildcard game? |

Continuing our "Rondo Out" propaganda.

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:30pm On Jan 07, 2020 |
Now this is something I can actually get excited about. I wanted the Lakers to get him before the season started but they couldn't. Huge fan of Mook.

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:10pm On Jan 07, 2020 |
Tundesam923:Lattimore got hurt but the mismatch was the problem. That ninja was just too small for Rudolph. Overall Drew was outplayed by Kirk Cousins and his fumble came at a very critical point in the game. He threw less than 90 yards the first 3 quarters and didn't play well enough to not be at the mercy of OT. Same story last year, they won the coin toss and Brees threw a pick where he could have driven for the W. This year well, he didn't even get the chance 1 Like |

Tundesam923: The saints need to do in the draft next this year what both the Ravens and the Seahawks did last year and that is draft a speedster with good hands to take the top off the defense. 1 Like |
