After this postseason I don't want him anywhere near the Lakers.
I'd give him a tryout and a reasonable offer... Kobe's on his last leg, Rondo might be his last shot, might be some bullshit... I agree with Hammer somewhat, in that Buss painted himself into a corner... Better swing for the fence then to give the keys to Clarkson right now, or resign Lin... Could end up like Mike Brown/Dantoni, or could be some crazy perfect fit...

Hell, didn't want him BEFORE that...
That's because you been lobbying for them to get Lebron.
LMAO...
DO wash our mouth out with soap...
I'm willing to give Rondo a try IF he gets nowhere near a max deal. $6-10m a year at most. I'd like Clarkson to learn from this guy, especially when it comes to assists and rebounds.
At the end of the day it can't get any worse for the Lakers.
Rondo ain't carrying Kobe to a title. It's time to move on from the "let's try to get Kobe one more title" mentality. They tried it with Nash/Howard and it unfortunately did not work out. They need to develop a squad that can sustain success for several seasons.

This thread should say "stay the fuck away from Love"...
Rondo can't play anymore. This current Rondo is nowhere close to '08-'10 Rondo. Dude's game has regressed and his attitude seemingly gets worse. Have you seen his FT%? Outside shot? I just don't get the desire for Rondo. He's clearly on the downside of career which has been overrated to begin with.
I'm not saying build solely through the draft and then develop the youth. Free agency success is vitally important. However, there are much better options to spend the cap room on for the long term future of the team than Rondo. Blowing $10-12 mil per year on him eliminates signing a max free agent. That money is better spent trying to get a Butler or a Harris or a Leonard. Monroe maybe. Certainly inquire about Gasol, but signing him doesn't look at all realistic.
What do you do with Kobe? You start him as always. I think he understands the position that the Lakers are currently in. He understands the transition going on. I think he somewhat embraces it and is enjoying mentoring the youth. I never said anything about tanking next season. Far from it. It's about adding the right pieces though. Not signing Rondo isn't going to push Kobe over an angry edge.
