I would confidently say that Rondo is a goner after this season but so are 90% of players on this roster. |

Did Worthy get suspended for saying... I don't know why we are here right now?
Haven't seen him since he said that. |

DLO gave KD a tour of Brooklyn the other day by the way. Just a heads up. |

I already know we’re not getting anyone and I’m fine with it
I’m used to this losing culture as a Laker fan 👍👍 |

I thought the reason why we paid Rondo this season is so he will accept a lower salary next season |

I don't blame you guys for not wanting Rondo after he quit on the team... but he was good until they tried to trade the kids.
I don't think he'll be back... but I still think he'll do well in a situation where there is mutual respect.
I just think he'll always be a give no f*cks type of guy... who will run through a wall for you if you have his back... and will just quit if he thinks you don't. |

He was never good this year. He isn't the right fit next to Lebron and got playing time at the expense of better players.
It is sad to think we could have signed Randle for what we paid Rondo. |

At this point I'd rather keep Caruso because he tries on defense and seems to be worth taking a chance on if Lonzo is healthy. If Zo isn't healthy we better pray Kemba or Kyrie comes or next year will not be pretty.
But I disagree about Rondo... he would have made a good sub if the rest of the team was playoff standard.
I think the bridges have been burned on both sides... so, I'm ready for the next chapter in our point guard saga. Maybe we fluke our way to Ja... or draft Garland. |

We might finish with a top 10 pick can we trade Ingram, Lonzo, Hart, Kuzma, or maybe multiple players to move up in the draft and start over? |

there's only 1 player in this draft you can really "start over" with and theres no way the Lakers could trade up for him _________________ (bleep) Kawhi |

I want Morant, Barrett, or Reddish and would be willing to blow things up add some cap and see what we can get in FA. |

we dont need to move up, these are suicidal thoughts. We had 3 consecutive no2 and we still dont know what kind of players they are except the one that we gave away for nothing and he played at his first ASG. |

Lonzo will never be a quality shooter, and he can't/won't shoot from mid range and isn't able to stay healthy. He can be a pure PG/ defender but that's not winning you championships in the NBA.
Ingram long shooting motion he will never be a quality 3 pt shooter, and isn't strong enough to win inside.
Kuzma is a good player would love to keep him, but isn't going to be a #1 or 2 guy on a championship winning team.
As far as DLO I was pissed we traded him he would have been the perfect complimentary player to Lebron, and to trade DLO and draft Lonzo was stupid to begin with.
Morant, Barrett, and Reddish play inside and outside and will all be good shooters with the ability to get to the basket.
The "young core" we have is flawed in so many ways and do not work together at all. Not saying we need to trade them all, but moves need to be made. |

Why not Sixers never mentioned about KD sweeptakes? If they let both Harris and Butler go they can have KD and 18 mil more to spend.
Basicly they will have KD, Embiid, Ben Simmons, Jonathon Simmons, Zhaire and Bolden along with 18 mil to spend then there is also cap exception. If KD leaves Sixers clearly the best place he can go in terms of winning. |

But when we needed him the most he quit. When things were going well he seemed fine. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

KD doesn’t want the narrative that he once again joined a stacked team. His ego may force him to the Knicks where he may regret it one day (Dolan is going to Dolan). _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

This is where poor scouting leads to that youth treadmill. _________________ Under New Management |
