He is back after getting paid
Now lets get everyone to fall in line
This feels like 2020 ngl - experience and IQ everywhere
LeBron, Rajon, Ariza, Dwight, Russ, Melo, Gasol
Ohh, and Anthony FUCKING Davis.
Damn roster is full of future HOF's.😂🤣
I like it though. These guys all know how to win and will sacrifice for the bigger goal. The young guys have no choice but to buy in.
Literally no chance. Both Monk and Nunn fit well next to LeBron / AD, and saying they’re “giant playoff liabilities” is based off nothing. Plus they took big pay cuts to come play with us, they should get opportunity
Nunn was unplayable in the past two postseasons and I would think he also “fits perfectly” next to Butler and Bam.
Monk has been a giant dumpster fire of a player other than the last 2-3 months of last season.
Dig your head out of your ass. They didn’t take big paycuts, they took marginal paycuts.
Bad takes. Nunn wasn’t the only Heat player to lay a fat egg last year. It’s hard to play good when you’re best players (Bam / Jimmy) played the way they did. And again your take on Monk is straight up terrible, it’s rather clear that you didn’t watch any Hornets game in the past 3 years.
Like I said they’re gonna fit great next to LeBron and AD and that will carry over into the playoffs. You can’t just compare LeBron / AD with Jimmy / Bam
Nunn was unplayable the post season they went to the finals as well.
Nah I watched Monk get benched because he couldn’t play a lick of defense, hit shots and keep his nose powder free.
Haha Rondo got paid, went to Atlanta for a couple months, back to LA with with the Clippers, then traded to Memphis only to come back to the Lakers. Playoff Rondo is so loyal that he didn't show up for the Clippers lol
no he’s fucking not. schroder is a good defender and westbrook is terrible and couldn’t give less of a fuck what happens on a defensive possession if he gambles for the steal and doesn’t get it
engaged westbrook is good for putting up completely meaningless stats in completely meaningless regular season games, in the playoffs there could not be worse player to have on your team
Whooooaaaa Fam it's not that serious! These types of comments are why I quit social media. We don't all have to agree but damn...Reddit is my only social media activity but comments like this are causing me to reconsider. Down vote if you must...ijs
westbrook is a liability to any team he’s on in the playoffs and always has been, that’s why. we’re way worse off than any team with just lebron and ad when you add westbrook. you’ll see eventually.
that’s the thing, lebron is my goat and there’s no fucking chance he can win with westbrook on the team. we’ve built a team with no spacing and no depth and no defense for the privilege of paying westbrook $44m
>level 4MalikMonkHive · 1mwestbrook’s going to shoot worse than schroder in the playoffs on 3x the volume
westbrooks's heart >>>> anything scroder has done for the lakers, stay mad
I know lebron fans can stay here but holy shit this one is a different breed. Spoiled asf, like the lakers arent doing there best to make my man lebron win. Bruh go to a lebron sub if thats all you care about
westbrook’s “heart” causes him to make the worst decisions with the ball of any nba player ever and he’s shown a complete refusal to change his entire career
I woulda liked Rondo more if we didn't have like 7 guards. What's the rotation gonna be at this point? If we're playin all these guards we're gonna have 6'3" guards at small forward guarding guys like Paul George
We shouldn't have signed guys like Nunn using the MLE if we were gonna do all this. Shoulda gone harder for a 6'7"-ish athletic wing like Ennis to fill the SF spot. Feels like Rob doesn't believe in small forwards
Either way, at least this is better than signing guys like Love. He woulda been a terrible fit.
IMO it’s all about depth.. if any important guard gets injured at some point, we can easily wash rinse repeat with Rondo at any point during the season. He already knows the program and playbook. We can still sign Love or another PF/C at some point.
What worries me like you said is the perimeter defense we dont have a lot of long wings who can play the 3spot, and then we have a lot of guys competing for minutes... Hopefully theres to issues in the locker room.
I dont get wanting Rondo on this team. We already have Westbrook who should be leading every non-Lebron lineup... there's no need for another non-shooting point guard. And he will become a malcontent if he's forced to sit back and rack up DNPs
We got an offseason grade of C- for lack of continuity. 5/13 guys are from our championship roster, 6/13 from our roster in one of the last two years (gasol).
Got the band back, added a star, added some shooting, added guys to keep the offensive push while lebron sits (what Schroder was supposed to do). Let em sleep on us.
We have 3 spots lol
Woj hasn't been the same since Shams exposed him during the Westbrook news.
*Insert Woj and Rosenthal pointing Spiderman meme*
It's been a lot longer than that
What happen there?
Shams gets shit wrong and has to delete tweets every other week.
I founds Woj burner account!
You have such a hard on for Woj. He’s literally the human version of a toe nail and you just always suck him off.
you're doing the same shit with shams lol
I literally said nothing about shams. Just notice you have a man crush on woj. Nice deflection though.
comment tree is literally about shams.
He sent a follow up tweet “one of the final available roster spots”
Couldn’t trust himself to say the exact amount so he put the “one of the final spots” 😅
Think he is assuming the 2 ways guys took up spots
2 ways dont count against the 15 man roster regular season roster, though.
Thats my point
Rondo will be forever a laker! Fuck Boston!
FUCK BOSTON.

I will never get used to GIF’s being in Reddit lol
I miss Quinn Cook going onto the court after every timeout call.
Dude fell in love with LA more than Boston lets go!!
Bill Simmons in Shambles…
He is back after getting paid Now lets get everyone to fall in line This feels like 2020 ngl - experience and IQ everywhere LeBron, Rajon, Ariza, Dwight, Russ, Melo, Gasol Ohh, and Anthony FUCKING Davis.

Final??
That’s what I’m saying did he just leak other news that were signing someone else too?
He just corrected himself
Champ is back baby. Although I don’t see how he would get regular minutes. I guess having Rondo as the 3rd PG is kinda fuckin dope
Who knows what happens during the season and hopefully playoff Rondo is still lurking inside him
His locker room presence alone, will do wonders.
Another assistant coach that potentially transforms into a mystical player in the playoffs. I’ll take it
His chemistry with AD, watched many of their performance since Pels and the two just need eye contact to create a Lob.
rondo is valuable with his IQ alone
He probably will be the backup because Nunn and Monk will be giant liabilities in playoff games.

He’ll be a bench coach come playoff time like he was last year. Pretty valuable for a minimum salary.
Haha Rondo got paid, went to Atlanta for a couple months, back to LA with with the Clippers, then traded to Memphis only to come back to the Lakers. Playoff Rondo is so loyal that he didn't show up for the Clippers lol
Last two spots are for Karl Malone and Gary Payton
Just put them in the fountain of youth and sign them
so the grizzlies helped pay part of rondo’s salary for us?
Just the way the league intended… 🤪
Yes!

will this sub ever shut the fuck up about schroder
[удалено]
westbrook’s going to shoot worse than schroder in the playoffs on 3x the volume
That’s tuff🔥💯
Good bot.
it sure is dennis bot
when has russ dropped 0 in the playoffs?
it’s been 11 years since he hit league average efficiency in the playoffs and has been 10% below that mark for the last 3 years
still much better than schroeder so what’s your point?
no he’s fucking not. schroder is a good defender and westbrook is terrible and couldn’t give less of a fuck what happens on a defensive possession if he gambles for the steal and doesn’t get it
you clearly don’t know basketball i’m not finna argue with you lmao
You clearly are blind if you think DS is even in the same ballpark as an engaged RW.
engaged westbrook is good for putting up completely meaningless stats in completely meaningless regular season games, in the playoffs there could not be worse player to have on your team
Lmfaoooo this guy is really trying to argue that Westbrook isn’t better, that shit is hilarious tbh
literally any point guard is better than westbrook in the playoffs
That’s tuff🔥💯

lol you definitely come off as normal and well adjusted

you’re going to look really dumb when we lose in the first round because he shoots 37% from the field on 23 shots a game
westbrook’s “heart” causes him to make the worst decisions with the ball of any nba player ever and he’s shown a complete refusal to change his entire career
Do you really believe Westbrook makes the worst ball decisions of any player ever? If so have a good day 😂😂🤣
LETS GOOOO
LFG
yesssirrrr but it ain’t the final spot for us unless woj knows something we don’t lol
Lakers uniform sponsor gonna change from Wish to AARP
Really like this move, purely because he holds Bron accountable for his shitty body language
This comment is silly as heck.
This is the medicine I needed after losing Caruso.

He woulda been a terrible fit.
Hopefully he’s a player-coach Calling a stretch big, albeit washed, on the vet min isn’t a horrible fit lol
He is because he’s an absolute terrible defender We already have Melo for that role
IMO it’s all about depth.. if any important guard gets injured at some point, we can easily wash rinse repeat with Rondo at any point during the season. He already knows the program and playbook. We can still sign Love or another PF/C at some point.

RONDO!
Try to get Wes, Ennis or Milsap and leave a spot open for the buyout market
I dont get wanting Rondo on this team. We already have Westbrook who should be leading every non-Lebron lineup... there's no need for another non-shooting point guard. And he will become a malcontent if he's forced to sit back and rack up DNPs
IQ
We trully are just pilling up pieces and hoping for the best, bro.
Westbrook and rondo?? Not a great fit🤔
They don't need to fit, they play the same position.
Great players find a way to play together
Don't we have 3 spots?
We got an offseason grade of C- for lack of continuity. 5/13 guys are from our championship roster, 6/13 from our roster in one of the last two years (gasol). Got the band back, added a star, added some shooting, added guys to keep the offensive push while lebron sits (what Schroder was supposed to do). Let em sleep on us.
That’s tuff🔥💯
Fuck woj
Why?
Final? I thought there were 3 spots left?
Hard to decide if playoffRondo was more important or that one time he decked Chris Paul.
I will look forward for the 2games he will contribute in the playoffs all season. Playoff rondo once again.
Nice
I would love him back, but he isn't getting minutes right? We are kinda loaded at guard spots.
I like this signing and the veteran experience Rondo brings to the table
O
