I think the Lakers go after Rondo personally. Just fits the coaching and position need.
Horrible fit with kobe. At least nash and Lin can shoot when kobe demands the ball. What can rondo do without the ball? _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
I hope we draft mudiay or towns. It would really help to expedite this rebuild. Both would be good fits with randle but mudiay would look great with randle in the PnR

I agree. That said, we need to stop building around Kobe at some point and start thinking of who fits with Randle.
However, I don't want Rondo unless he comes cheap, which is unlikely. He'll be overpaid by someone. _________________ Championships since NBA/ABA merger in '76: Lakers 10 - Celtics 5 - Clippers 0 --- Phil Jackson 10 - Doc Rivers 1

Rondo is a bad influence anyways if he's the titular head of the team once Kobe is gone. He hasn't exactly been Captain America on the struggling Boston team once Pierce/KG/Allen left. Not the kind of personality you want to build around _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
Id rather go after Goran Dragic in 2015 than Rondo or resigning Lin.
I have liked Dragic for a while. How would you feel if Reggie Jax/Lin were available for the same price as just Dragic? _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
Why not go after the BPA in FA and Get Lamarcus Aldridge and have him play at center? He's unrestriced, and considering the fact he ate Dwight Howard alive in this game, I say why not? To me he's the third best player in the league. Also, go after Aaron afflalo and push kobe to SF
PG: JLIN
SG: Afflalo
SF: Kobe
PF: Julius
C: Lamarcus
It's funny though because I was going to make this thread yesterday to propose this idea...

1. LMA HATES playing center. That's why they got Lopez.
2. I think he will take the max and 5 years which only Portland can give him (since he's had some major injuries and heart ailment issues so that max $ may matter to him). I think he likes that Portland team. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

u mean Reggie + Lin instead of Dragic?
I go with Reggie + Lin
That's what I said when I put "just Dragic," Of course, Lin may play well and get bigger offers, but assuming something (conservative) like: RJax ($11) and Lin ($8) over just dumping $18-19 on Dragic (who I think is a very good player). _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

personally I would go after Klay Thompson 1st and get him for max.

I know he's not the biggest fan of playing C, but he'll pretty much have the same exact role. Nowadays, PF/C is the same as SG/SF. Meaning he'll pretty much be getting the same exact looks in LA as he was in Portland. Plus, I think it would be the right career move for him. He hasn't necessarily gotten the rightful praise. If he comes to LA, he'll have endorsement deals he would never get playing in Portland

I highly doubt this. He won't be a full-time center ever again. I don't think Lakers will be spending its salary cap on a PF for a long time thanks to Jules. He also gets a 5th year, and considering his heart ailments in the past, another year of guaranteed money is an absolute must IMO. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

everything else depends on whats remaining
He's most likely going to be a Warrior. They'll match it and I wouldn't be surprised if they wrap up the extension by this Friday. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

@SpearsNBAYahoo: Sources: With deadline looming,contract talks with no max offer between Klay Thompson & Warriors causing frustration. http://t.co/bRdszq4saI

Both for the price of 1? That's a no brainer I would do it. Reggie Jackson is a very good pg and can play good defense. Having both would be great depth at pg something we havent had since the 80s.
I can't see why many people think Reggie Jax is worth $10mil + a season. He's not bad but he's nowhere near worth a decent sized chunk of the cap IMO. _________________ Championships since NBA/ABA merger in '76: Lakers 10 - Celtics 5 - Clippers 0 --- Phil Jackson 10 - Doc Rivers 1

He was able to take over last season for the injured Westbrook without much drop off in the Thunders winning %. He's 24 yrs old and when he gets his chance to start I think he will be a 16/6/5 guy with lockdown defense. It's like when Bledsoe was behind CP3 in LA, everyone could see the talent but he was simply playing behind a hall of famer.

Except he's not as good as Bledsoe? If CP3 is a 10, Bledsoe is an 8, then Reggie Jax is a what? i say 5.8 _________________ Championships since NBA/ABA merger in '76: Lakers 10 - Celtics 5 - Clippers 0 --- Phil Jackson 10 - Doc Rivers 1

Also half the price,nearly a half decade younger than cp3. I'd "rate" him 6.5. Just stuck behind Russ. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
Klay Thompson and Greg Monroe should be the main targets next summer. Two young players who will be around for a long time with Randle and Clarkson. I'll be happy with either.
Max for Klay, then remainder for Monroe? Who is playing point guard though on this team? (Lin would need to be let go).
If we let Lin go Price & Clarkson gets it by default.
Maybe (wishful thinking) Lin decides to stay and gives us the hometown discount.
Lin said that LA is a place he can call home. I predict that FO will give him an offer and Lin will take it. I think Lin will be here for a long time, hopefully till he retires ... _________________ "We have a lot of guys that have been kinda discarded ... Myself with the injury and the age.
