What do you guys think about Rondo to the Lakers? London and his dad gonna be traded to the Flint Tropics for a washing machine?
Hey, I hope I’m not doing too many NBA threads.

Brilliant post. I'm glad you took the initiative to dedicate a post to this story.
I can't imagine them signing him without GOAT's approval, but LA is going to be a soap opera next season.

Doesn't really matter. The Lakers are still going to be a fringe playoff team in the West. LeGOAT is about to find out how protected he has been his entire career. He's not the greatest of all time. He's not even the best right now. The Lakers will be lucky to win 45 games unless they can sign another STAR. And San Antonio is not going to trade Khawi Leonard to the Lakers.

^There's always LeBron haters. As much as he does, some folks still feel he needs to prove his talents. He literally drags a bunch sorry dudes to the finals, something NOBODY ELSE could had done with the same supporting cast and he's still not the "best in the NBA".
As it stands, the team he's getting in LA is already a better group than what he had in CLE. I'd place them at #4 seed in the west. Once they grab a couple really good outside shooters, move them to #2.
The Rondo move is a good move; he's a guard that can run the show, in spite of not having a great jump shot.

Rondo is kinda a whack-job but he's a good-player and very savvy (although I really haven't seen him play much since his Celtics days) - w/ his talent; experience; and not have to be thee-guy, I think it's a positive addition

He's not the goat. For the last decade his teams have been loaded and yet his finals resume is terrible and could arguably be worse. He carried a weak ass team to the finals in a weak ass conference.

Always tough to make comparisons - but one thing that I think is true is that LeBron hasn't always been dealt the best-cards - i.e. for one he's never had a hall-of-fame caliber coach - i.e. neither MJ nor Koby ever won a championship w/o Phil Jackson - not saying Jackson was the only reason they won but they didn't win w/o him.
Plus - except for his 4-years in Miami, LeBron has spent his whole-career in Cleveland - how successful could he really be - it's not as if the Cavs have been a top-notch organization.
I think LeBron deserves the credit he gets - after-all it is a team-sport and that includes the coaching, front-office, and ownership; and the Cavs have not exactly been the model franchise in those areas.
MJ was an anomaly - everyone else lost finals; and b/f MJ, losing in a finals didn't make you a bum - many other great players lost in finals and many never won a championship - takes more than just being a great player to win championships; you gotta have some help.

Another thing to admire about LeBron is that after 15 long NBA seasons including a whole bunch of post-seasons and even Olympic games, the dude still brings it and is hardly ever injured to where he does not play (particularly in important games).

True that. Shailynn has figured out a way to keep us all interested in the NBA, even through the summer.
