I don’t think that there is an answer |
Maybe familiarity of playing with AD |
They're really going to be on the floor together a great deal? |

Hope not during games, I see Rondo running the second unit with 4 shooters. I mean familiarity in general |

It is unlikely a top 9 rotation will stay healthy throughout.
Then there are simply teams that will double Lebron and AD, and leave everyone else open.
In situations where players like Rondo and KCP can not make shots and plays. Because both players while more skilled at the 1 and 2, than Cook and Daniels respectively. While both Rondo and KCP are more skilled and capable players, the fact is basketball is simple when you have 2 superstars. You need role players that can make open looks. Rondo at PG, and KCP at 2 are not reliable consistent shooters. Cook and Daniels are.
Cook is a 1, and Daniels is a 2 in the league. You can get 15-20 minutes from either player in situations you need them, and you know they will ust shoot the ball the moment they catch it and open.
Rondo, KCP, Bradley. All inconsistent shooters. Our shooters are Danny Green, Quinn Cook and Troy Daniels. |
The only player from last year’s roster that played all 82 games was Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. McGee missed 7 games, Kuzma missed a dozen, James missed a third of the season, Rondo missed nearly half of last season, etc. that’s why depth wins in the regular season, while talent wins in the playoffs. |

Wow, KCP played all games?

why both though? isn't that redundant? |
well things like injuries happen. You can see we really went for shooting in FA so if someone like ROndo, Caruso, Green, Bradley, KCP, and either cook or Daniels we will have the depth of shooting |

I guess if Cook plays the shooting guard role best primary, we need someone who’s a capable defender and taller at the back up point guard position.
That guy is most certainly the 6’5” Caruso, NOT Rondo _________________ #18 next... |

the same reason we didn't bring back lance. both guys have a defined role (3pt shooting) and can play within their limits. if we're able to sign a capable wing defender on the buyout market, we should be all set. _________________ We only celebrate championships.
