Rondo doesn't play much defense anymore.
He will with Byron as coach.

You and I both, but Dragic is a better shooter as well and a little youngerAt this point I would prefer Dragic over Rondo and I'm not just saying that because Goran plays for Miami.
Rondo has not been the same player since tearing his ACL a few years ago

So, basically a nothing article. No new rumor. No new source saying such. It is basically some writer's opinion.
"Assuming the Lakers stay in win-soon mode, it is a safe bet that they will go hard after the two top point guards on the market, with Bryant’s pal Rajon Rondo at the head of the list and Goran Dragic behind him."
Honestly, I hope they don't pursue either.
I don't think there is any question that the Lakers will re-sign Clarkson and continue to develop him, but I think he's another year away as starter material for a playoff team with playoff expectations. I don't think it would be unreasonable for the Lakers to go after two guards and keep four of them, but unlikely. I think they will go after one and then work on either a forward or center.Okay, I will take the bait, since I respect you as a poster, please explain this. Rondo/Dragic are definitely better than Lin. I get Clarkson has played well.. is he the guy you have the faith in? Clearly the Lakers need to get better. Since these two PGs aren't the solution for you, which free agents are?

What happens this draft will have a lot to do with which free agents they pursue.

They shouldn't go for Rondo. Dragic is ok but honestly, if he doesn't seem up to leave Miami, I wouldn't try so hard to woo him over. Just because you have a need at PG doesn't mean you should overpay for one. They'd be better suited just keeping the cash (sign someone to a 1 year deal) and pursuing someone in 2016.
Interesting article today - Scott says he is now making decisions as to who he wants for next year in the foxhole with him. He says some of them would stab in the back given the chance and that changes will be have to be made

i think he could do some good things with a veteran group that know how to play teh game.....ithink he resents the NBA movement towards the new stats- and does not have the patience to teach and connect with the young guys- thats what i saw in Cleveland anyway...i always thought byron was a shit coach
on what basis do you think Byron Scott knows what he is doing?
The guy has been fired now by New Jersey, New Orleans, Cleveland, - and has a career 43% winning percentage- and his first stop was by far his best.
I appreciated Scott's authoritarian style as a fan- but as far as substance goes- his offenses were train wrecks and he really does not relate well to young NBA players- and he couldnt even get the young guys to care enough to play hard on defense.. He is an "old school" guy- and I think , from what i saw anyway- that the game has kind of passed him by.
One thing i liked about the Cavs hiring Blatt is that they went for a guy who could bring some fresh ideas and didnt have any baggage and he was kind of a breath of fresh air when you compared him to retreads like Mike Brown and Byron Scott. Personally- I do not think he is the type of guy you want when you are rebuilding a team.....
do you really think Scott is the guy to get the Lakers back on track?
i always thought byron was a shit coach
i dont think Scott is the guy to rebuild with and connect with young players- he is from a bygone era and the way he thinks is just not the way current players think- Do i think todays players COULD learn a lot from the way Scott carries himself? Yes- obviously the guy was a pro's pro who did things the right way- but his style just does not connect with todays AAU style young guys.

I don't think either one of you know much about basketball.
