If you want to say he's a good mentor and would be good for AD since he's played with him? Fine I guess, but defending his defense? Nah, that's not it. I'm not saying he's an amazing defender, but he's not as horrible as yall are making him out to be. Yeah he made some visibly bad plays at times last year, but he still had a. 5 DBPM and 1.5 DWS. Compare that to the rest of the horrendous Lakers, or even Caruso in particular who put up 0 and .6, respectively. Just cause Rondo had more nationally televised poor plays doesn't mean he was actually a worse defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically tried to leverage the Raptors and Clippers against each other? If Raptors pull off getting Westbrook and PG, what does Kawhi do then? Re-sign or go with the Lakers? Guessing latter. We have no idea and if he doesn’t that kinda effs the raptors and we are OKC East or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Don't the Lakers have to fill their open 32M space before 12 pm est when the Davis trade goes down? How much money do they have left? Wonder if it's for Morris or Boogie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it would have only happened if Kawhi agreed to re-sign. Bruh, that luxury tax though if that trade went down!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowry, Serge, Pascal (maybe someone else FVV or OG?) gone and PG and Westbrook in maybe Green is back as well but who knows. Major downside but major upside I probably would have talked myself into it as long as it meant Kawhi was staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Kawhi left - I think your supporting cast around PG and RWB would be better than OKCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're also not taking into consideration of the type of gambles he makes defensively and how he hurts the rest of the defense. Up until the second to last week of the season, the Lakers were worst defensively with guess who on the court? Yes, you guessed it Rondo. From ANY player on the team, they had the worst defensive rating when Rondo was on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you guys would have had the best duo in the East in Kawhi and PG and would be the favorites to get to the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been okay I guess but I don’t really believe it would have won. Idk I don’t feel like doing revisionist history. It would suck to lose Pascal and it would be a crappy send off for Lowry but he’d presumably be dealt at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess so but I still don’t know and am opting out of this revisionist history for now. However I guess we can play the would this offer have trumped the Clippers offer? I think he may have but they did give up a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all theoretical mumbo-jumbo at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
