"On the tax. So now what happens is, you don't have to eat that bad lowers everything down and here we are for the Lakers. And then for the next side, you jump in, you get a little bit of cash paid. I've seen the reporting and Ian beggars has tied in with the Knicks as anybody else, so I would assume he's accurate on this that they're going to wave Valentine. A couple of people who said, oh, maybe they'll take a look at them. There is a thought they just signed Ryan Archie diacono on a ten day contract, and there's a thought with Kemba Walker. We didn't talk about this, but we'll throw it in here. He did not play over the weekend. He was in the middle of warm ups and felt pain in his left knee. That's the one that's been the problem. And was like, I can't. I can't go. And they had to take him out of the game. Literally, 20, 30 minutes before ten that happened. So maybe even less. So there's a lot of thought that they want to add. No, because remember Derek rose is also out. So they're really down ball handlers right now in New York. RTD akino seems like a tips guy. Kind of a hard nosed, I will just get after a little bit. So that probably is ultimately where they go. They'll see what he looks like on this hardship ten day, and then maybe sign him from after that. And he'll take that roster spot. So they basically get their expenses, if you will covered for jumping in and doing basically not much. Except freeing up a spot for themselves too. So interesting little wrinkle, probably won't amount to a whole lot league, wide ramifications there, but that's what we do on this show is break down the nitty Gritty. So it was a fun little wrinkle to the trick. I mean, the biggest name in the trade is Rajon Rondo, who's 67 years old right now. And look, he's a brilliant basketball mind. I think he's what the Cavs need. I think he's somebody that can do that. I know. No, I like run to a lot, but I think he can, I think he can help the caps, right? They needed to get a point guard to come in. Even if he's just a stopgap until they find somebody else. Whatever they do, I think he can help the caps..

"More fully realized team than what they were for sure. I could see maybe some gamesmanship coming down the stretch to say, hey, let's drop behind maybe Chicago and Brooklyn. Or if Miami is pushing, but I don't think they're going to drop all the way down to the 5th seed. And after play play their playoff series because the other thing is there's we see this, you start messing around with stuff like that. You end up getting punished. At some point, then there's some kind of upset where you now have home court advantage and you didn't expect to or something along those lines and it becomes very messy. So yeah. So I don't think we're going to see them tank it out. I just really want to see how this works because it's odd. Yes, we have seen players. Kemba Walker for the last full year with the Boston Celtics did not play in the second half of back to backs. But that's different. That is a different kind of thing that didn't mean it was necessary always road games always home games. Yeah, it was just with that. Now many have said, they can plan for this. They know what they can do. They can when they play a road game, and then maybe a home game on a back to back. You can run him out there for 40 plus minutes and say go because you're not playing tomorrow or whatever the case is. You can really if you need a spot Durant or hardened a night off, you probably do a one year on the road now because you're going to let Kyrie run the show. So let's see, let's see what this looks like, but yeah, Wednesday, we'll see how it looks. I mean, I expect anybody else that'll probably take him a handful of games to get fully up to speed as well. I mean, I know people are gonna be tuning in to see what happens and to see where the next time absolutely to see what it looks like with them with them fully healthy, but there we go. So Kyrie Irving, making his debut on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. The pacers have got to be like, come on. Really? Yeah. Really? Yeah..

"Looking forward here. I didn't see it. Oh, there it is. Yeah. Yeah, so they will not host fans for at least the next three weeks. Happy new year. Yep. No tickets sold and except for league and team requirements up to a thousand per game. So it's basically that's going to be family and friends of players. So obviously the people to work that. So that's a good excuse me. Talk for me. Yeah, yeah, I got you. I got you. But yeah, that's something that we, I mean, I'm not surprised. We've seen Canadian teams up to I mean, look, the raptors played in Tampa Bay last season because of what was going on. So, I mean, this is the type of thing that is not necessarily a huge surprise that this is taking place. I know owners around the NBA have got to be hoping that it's not what they have to resort to because losing those ticket sales is a very big deal. That's part of the reason why the NBA has gone to the health and safety protocols that they have and having hardship players brought in because they don't want to lose that revenue all over again, just like they did a couple of seasons ago. So it's something to keep an eye on. Will other teams follow suit? I think the differentiator here is that the raptors are in Canada. If this was a U.S. based team, I think we would probably start preparing for other teams to do the same thing, but I don't think we're quite there just yet, especially with just with the raptors being a Canadian team, I think that leaves a little bit of a reason to pause before we assume that the U.S. based teams are going to do the same. Yeah, absolutely. They just do it very differently. And it's just the reality of how it works. So yeah, I mean, we're in a position here where this is we can't scream and yell about how this is going to be can't do this, can't do that. I mean, this is you can yell about that in your own state if you want, even states to state that can be kind of hard. But in a position, we have more breaking news. I'm surena even Cavaliers are in serious talks on a deal to acquire Lakers guard, Rajon Rondo. There it is. So that is a very interesting. Rondo is in health and safety protocols right now. In fact, I just did a story about that a little bit ago, but should be out there. Unlike what NBA two K will tell you players who are injured kids. Lightbulb. No. Stanley Johnson. Yes..

"Are you gonna be on that? He's coming. He's got a he had a bleacher report obligation. We were gonna save the schroder stuff for him, but we can do a little now. Yeah, I don't see anyone else who really sticks. I said I like the link. And you know, you guys more than all right. It's on the stretch from grant. This is a four a.m. show, though. Richardson, smart, Schroeder, Tatum. And Schroeder get amazes me. He's shooting close to 70% at the basket this year. His efficiency down there and drives is just mind-blowing. Soft touch, but he blows by guys. The speed's incredible. He went past Westbrook a couple of times like he was standing still. It was phenomenal. Yeah. He's so funny. I think it was either Richardson or jaylen. It turns on the jets. It's game over. One of the salt expires we were talking earlier in the year that he's one of the fastest guys they've ever seen period in this league. And you see it like the way he just owe two three. It might be faster than rondo. Situations. As fast as Caroline he is guys in the dust. We saw prime rondo schroder might have an extra gear beyond that. He is well, that was always the comparison when it was just coming up in the league. The germano rondo was rondo then is now kind of like Schroeder now. They're very still very similar players to this day. Maybe rondo was maybe a little crafty or something. He's a little bit maybe better with the ball. Much better. Yeah, much better passer better ball handler, worse shooter, even though sure. Yeah. But like similar styles in a way. They're both kind of fiery. Bead guys. Coming into the car. He mentioned. He used to sort of I think that's where the comparison came from just well, they always used to get into it with each other too. Well, yeah, but also it was a level of respect from Schroeder, right? So I feel like just him watching rondo, you sort of you saw it naturally..

"That means he's actively participating in his own growth as a player. He's thinking out what it's going to take for him to get the next level. So to me, when he said those words, and maybe it's because I'm coming from an education background, but when he said, I'm a visual learner, that told me this is a guy who's committed to being the best he can be and soaking things up and learning from these guys. So I think this is going to be big for his growth being around this much talent. Yeah, absolutely. And I agree with the visual learner comment, particularly because LeBron took such an early interest in him, as well as rich Paul, I believe. And that's because he had that veteran like mindset from an early age. So with a visual learner comment, you're seeing that evolve. And I think Taylor Horton Tucker, especially people who are paying attention to the Lakers really know this, but around the NBA, I think he really has one of the most guaranteed upward trajectories in the NBA right now. And when you add all these Hall of Famers around him, considering that he's already won a championship with LeBron, Anthony Davis, white Howard and rondo. Now you got Westbrook and mellow, THT is going to become a special player and let's not forget that wingspan of his two 6 four with the 7 one wingspan does have a big challenge. The Lakers, Frank Vogel and rob pelinka, not rumored, they came out and said it that they're going to ask him to replace defensively Alex Caruso and kentavious Caldwell Pope. That is a lot to put on THT. I think he's up for the challenge. Jen conducts from YouTube, said, Braun AD, Russell Westbrook, Trevor, Ellington. How do you guard that team? Come on deadly. Yeah. Look, they've got a lot of versatility if that is indeed the starting lineup. And I guess we want to put in this little disclaimer. Right now, we're going to go ahead and operate under the assumption that the starting lineup is indeed what we've heard Russ Ellington ariza LeBron AD. But training camp officially starts tomorrow. Okay? Nothing is set in stone right now. The Lakers are going to be playing around with things..

"So you guys know that when playoff rondo showed up, now, about a year ago at this point, not quite. It still hasn't been a year since the Lakers won the NBA championship. At least a calendar year. But about a year ago, playoff rondo showed up. Playoff rondo showed up in a big big way, and I told Lakers nation, viewers that, you know, I'd been very skeptical of rondo during the season, but if playoff rondo showed up that I would proudly buy a playoff rondo Jersey I'd wear it on our show. I still have it and it's actually sitting right over there right now, just off camera. I could go grab it if I needed to, but they're asking, will they update it? Because now Rajon Rondo is no longer number 9. Instead that goes to Ken bazemore. Believe he's getting what number four now? Yeah, that's the number that rondo is getting. I think though, I think that's not enough. Just doing the Jersey. I think we need to up the ante here, Skylar. So I'm gonna put this out here for Lakers nation, okay? If the Lakers, when the 18 championship this season and playoff rondo shows up, I think that would require some type of rondo tattoo. I will put my skin on the line here. I will go that far. I think that some type of rondo tattoo is necessary. Maybe a number a number four with the rondo name above it. Something like that. And we'll come up with something. But I think that's what we need to put on the line here for this season. We got to take it. We got to take it one step higher because number 18 would mean leading the NBA in championship. So let's up the ante on that one. Trevor, I love it, man. That is awesome to literally put your skin on the line. Unfortunately, or fortunately, both sides here. I'm guaranteeing that you will end up getting that tattoo. I hope so. If that is in fact the official ante that we're upping here. So I love that man and props to you for doing that. And yeah, banner number 18 is absolutely on the way for the Lake show. Rondo said he's got the blueprint. Maybe some sort of blueprint, Jay-Z, Ronda, I don't know. There's a lot of different ways you can go with this. I'm excited. Yeah, we'll figure something out for sure. Alex amerling from YouTube, the super chat said with age comes experience, we have a lot of it. Agree, you have a lot of both of you, a lot of age, but also a lot of experience that goes with that and that's going to be key for the Lakers. Also added in, I'm way behind hyped for the Russ AD pick and roll. Oh, that's in the league..

"Comments coming in here all ready, oh, would somebody Mike Wolfe said, what about Joel aya, yeah, he's the reason why there's only one two way slot. He's already got one. So I didn't mention him because he already has one of them, but we will see him in camp with the Lakers as well. Didn't perform great in summer league, but I'm hoping we'll see better from him here in preseason. It might be the kind of player that displays better with better players around him. Could very well be the case. A lot to break down though from summerly or from media day today. And so what I want to start off really getting into is a comment that Rajon Rondo made. Rajon Rondo said that LeBron has the blueprint for winning in the NBA. Said it's very clear because he's made X number of finals in Harvard many years, whatever it is, 8 finals in the last ten years or whatever LeBron has made. That he's got the blueprint to win. And then rondo threw in sly rondo through and I've got that blueprint as well. He said he wouldn't reveal what exactly that was in order to get that far, but he said, maybe when he's a coach in the NBA, he will unveil that, which Rajon Rondo, we all know one of the most brilliant basketball minds he is going to make a great coach at some point. But I think there's something like part of this was rondo being facetious, but part of this is real, like, LeBron has an understanding and rondo two of what it takes to get to the finals. And so for everybody that's talking about the Lakers age, Skyler, are we just overlooking what the age also brings in terms of wisdom in terms of that knowledge that understanding of what it takes to get to where they want to go? Oh, 100%, if for all those people who are talking about the age narrative, it's silly. This is a tried and tested formula in the NDA and I've got one jarring stat in particular on that. 31.7 years old was the average age of the 1998 Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan. The Lakers 32.1. Everyone's talking about how old they are. This is a tried and tested formula formula. You always want that veteran experience. You got guys who haven't won a championship. Now you caught some young players too. And I don't know. I mean, I like rondo's comment. What I'll give them the credit for with the blueprint to a championship is they certainly showed us in 2020 that those two together do have a blueprint for a championship. And, you know, we got what 5 guys from that roster now, some great new additions. I think that really fixed a lot of their holes. And so, yeah, no. I agree with rondo. Yeah, I mean, look, I think that he's right. There's a advantage. Like everybody wants to heart on the disadvantage of having an older roster. And it's like I think it's partially wishful thinking from non Lakers fans that the age is going to be such a huge factor rather than like, oh man, this team might be really, really good because they understand what it takes because they know.

"Look like a giant compared to rondo. You look at looking with them. How much the russ rondo look smaller than allen iverson. Let's six three to six feet rodri- inches of buck. Sixty five probably rust one. Ninety ninety russ okay all right nice dry because you got a problem. And i'm not sure you can get this one fix the problem. We've heard from one of these parties but we didn't hear from the offended party yet because the offended party in the bubble was the guy on the left russell westbrook right so we sure that russ will be able to move on from this incident because it got pretty ugly in the bubble remember. Nobody's in stand so only friends and family. You are allowed to sit court all right so you can just hear everything echo through the whole gymnasium. Right okay so what happened. It's game five of the second round. The winner of houston rock by the lakers. Obviously and rondo is getting into it with russ and all of a sudden rondos brother. William joins in from court grace. I'd see and yells at russ your trash. It's like excuse me. Are you talking to me. Russell westbrook and then the brother does the dame bye bye. Bye bye to him. And that's when russ said no you're going by and he went and got us garrity instead. I want him out. And then after the game russ says rondo was talking s. h. And then his brother decided he wanted to hop into said russell westbrook after this game and he concluded he started talking crazy. And i don't play that okay. So he did say that rondo was talking. You know what started off. Because that's what rondo was important. The gift would administer my brother talking gift. What joining me. What's the golden rule. Told me repeatedly repeatedly by the hall of famer across what when a family member speaks for a star speaks publicly for star. What you have to assume that came from said star right so said star is rondo. This rondo privately till his brother. He's trash in may. Guess what. I put that aside i. It will be tried for the time. You ain't trash together. You put all that aside on impedance off to win the championship. Okay the championship and then we win the championship. Say hey who are the two hardest headed point guards in the league to me. I think there are one to two one out. You want to rank them but no food. No competition okay the starter who were the two to do this. Who are two of the quickest triggered tempers in the league. Those two they both have quick triggered. Flash go right yeah. Both of them. They play with high emotion in just snaps. And you gotta be careful especially with rondo but russ has it into where he'll just he'll just go crazy rondos. Ready to fight russell just rated to go off skip. We're on same team. You play the same position skill. One guy makes forty one forty four million dollars. The other guy makes two point five. Okay one guy was one guy was traded for the other guy got bought out and got signed free agent. What does the backup have that the starting and star does not have. He has the highest basketball. Iq second only to lebron to me is rajon rondo Iq russ was not gifted with that kind of a basketball mind russ plays more with emotion. He plays with supreme talent. He's physical he can still leap as we saw in the ridiculous dunk. Don't all those little high school kids but but we get it. He is a supreme athlete. Still at the backside of his prime we get all that. But if i could pour rondo into russ i might have jordan it. Although he might not be the basketball savant. That rondo is you. Don't stay in this league as long and you don't lead the league in assists without seeing things before they happen so i do think rondo heavy basketball high very high basketball. Iq although it might not be rondos. That's okay yes. He survived he. He's more athletic. He might be the most athletic point guard that we've ever seen. He might be now. I would've loved to see their roles. Get about ten years before he started having vedro. Because i believe he was russell westbrook before russell. Westbrook was russell westbrook but skill for me. I'll put all that aside no matter what i thought of you as another team if we if we become teammates i go should be the same is to win into a championship so i put all that aside i ask you. How many nights will rondo playing thirteen or fourteen minutes. A game be sitting over on that laker bench. Watch russ turned over. Kick it out of bounds and drop his head. Think skip wealth is not all sudden go from a terminal guy to point five turnover gap. That's not what he does. That's not who we have enough. Okay led the league in turnovers. Four times to that he did. We'll i've talked about that because the only way does it is he attacks the basket and he figured out five years ago if two guys come and meet me at the rim. I just dropped the ball behind me and let stephen adams dummying do own it. What because he got another guy that make shot he got go james. He got a d. And so now you've got you've got to other guys where before you had nothing lebron too many nights he's going to be staying over on the wing saying can i play. He edgy look when he had. James harden james harden had thirty thirty five. Paul george paul george. Every twenty eight k. D. wants one four score and so he bad for business locate. He decided he is bad for win with him. Katie that was well within his right. I love is business. People tell me when players get cut is business would. This was but kevin durant made a business. I got no problem with that. But guess what. Guess what we cannot wait for. How long have we gotta wait for the season start. Collision course rondo. Westboro glazier core sharp and bela's beaten breaks off it. Did you come here. you're gonna come back. Eighty right here here is not gonna land love awfully a high habit. It's i cannot wait to talk about the internal. Dissension that the lakers. So you try to manifest. That's what you want to have the speaking it into exact. Know exactly what you wanted to happen but seattle do that no. I won't the lakers to be healthy. You know that won't be held. Because i don't want name because you make a lot of excuses. If gave hard he he was a shell of himself in carry. Wasn't there you made all these expensive. The lakers get to healthy nets in the file. Because you would get embarrassed but you to go by the best player on the plan go. James harden the best point guard in basketball his. I re- with uncle. Drew handles is on.

"And then McLaughlin was a big time score. I want to say you see Santa Barbara maybe. If I remember correctly, I'm going to look just because, you know, I don't like to get things wrong. But yeah, he was a big time scorer in college. So we'll see he played for the warriors. UC Santa Barbara, I was correct. He played for the warriors at summer week. So we'll see what he can do for Dallas as a two way player. So that's what we're in right now. Millsaps off the board now. So there's a couple other interesting veterans, James NS, Avery Bradley, or so out there, but it's pretty much dried up at this point. So you're going to see over the next two, three weeks, you're going to see a flood of camp signings as teams are bringing guys in for camp. A lot of these guys will get maybe up to 50,000 guaranteed because that's the most you can give a player and I guarantee and then still have them play for your G league team. So we're going to see a lot of that. And then you're going to see teams fill out their two way spots for the most part. We're down to. I don't think we've talked this, but we're it's tweaked a little bit now, but there's only two teams, Phoenix and Portland are the only two teams who don't have their own dealing team. Because Denver picked up the former Detroit team as Detroit created a new team to be their team. So yeah, so yeah, and then this year, barring everything going the way it's supposed to, the G league will add to Mexico City team this year, but they're unaffiliated, so they don't have an affiliate team. I'm not quite sure why Phoenix doesn't just jump on that and work with them. But they're not but Phoenix actually sold their team to Detroit, which is how Detroit now has a team. So as you're G league update there. But yeah, it's one of those things where Adam silver said multiple times he wants all 30 teams to have a GE team, having affiliate. And then we, of course, we have the ignite, we'll be back. And it sounds like they're going to in the bubble..

This is probably going to be what two, three hour long episode. We're break down tacos fit in Cleveland. I assume they brought him in to run point guard. Alongside a mobly and marketing and Jared Allen and they gotta have another big guy floater. Kevin Love. Throw him out there, right? No, Kevin Love, there it is perfect. Wheel them out. Yeah, Kevin Love probably played a three Mark and play the two point taco. Yeah, no, yeah, I mean, since we're talking about it, I don't get it. I don't understand it. I hope he makes the team. I was talking nothing but the best he is. One of my favorite people I've covered both at UCF down the road for me here in Orlando as well as with the Celtics. So I hope he makes it, but my guess is this is probably a camp thing and then he'll be playing for the I don't even know if they're still in can. They might not be, but the charge of the geo calves,

"Is used as the third team. To help deliver the right value to Portland or something like that. So just something to file away, nothing clearly going to happen right now. Brooks will be on the grizzlies, but something to keep in mind. I won't be on the grizzlies. Watch on her wanto her non Gomez. Sounds like he's going to be about waved watch like Rajon Rondo. They haven't even required him to report or go through her physical. Now part of that is, he might have failed the physical because if he remembers dealing with the shoulder injury, that was suffered with the Spanish national team. And then he was traded, but it sounds like he's not going to be a part of that team and that Memphis team. They've still got some cuts to make to get into roster compliance. So it sounds like he's going to be one of them. And they need some money this year, just like they did with rondo, but fully non guaranteed contract next year. So Memphis continues to kind of make these moves and I guess because it's spun off, Patrick Beverly, and they got Jared cover. They traded aircraft once for essentially. Okay, I mean, sure. Why not? Now with hernan Gomez, isn't that the wolves tell him they didn't want him participating in the Olympics? With Spain, and so he had to sit out and then so he was hurt anyway. And I think they were worried about aggravation of the injury or something and then they wound up treating him. Yeah, I'm sure he's thrilled. Good summer. Yes. Yeah, I'm sure yeah, I'm sure he's a real psyched about it. You know, and then the wolves, I mean, we keep hearing the angel Russell mentioned in the Simmons trade. Rumors and those kind of things. And I just wonder that's Carl Anthony towns, buddy. There, you know, are we doing right by players up there in Minnesota? Are we kind of starting to get a little bit into a messy situation? Let's just something that kind of rattle around in the back of my mind. The kings, the kings north, AKA the wolves, yeah, they have some weird methods up there, but we'll have to wait and see what actually happens with the misconception. Yes, they are. Sorry, Sacramento. Sorry. Not really. But we're a little sorry. Wow. Wow. You won that series. You don't have to be angry towards me. Oh, no, no, I'm not. I have no ill will towards Sacramento at all. It's funny the way they make some head scratching move for some reason they're carrying all the centers on their roster. I don't get it, but I do hope that they can get some success in Sacramento and finally move on and get back into the playoffs. I would like to see that happen for them. So let me put that out in the universe and kind of balance out our Sacramento ill will that we put out earlier in the show . No, no, no, no, your Sacramento is. My second mind. Okay. Yeah. I'm being nice to my king's family friends. Yeah, my jokingly said that they should do a Colin Sexton for Marvin Bagley trade after the market. And just because then yeah, because then the calves could have even more bigs and that kings could have even more point guards. Why not? Let's go nuts. You've got to be 6 foot four or under or 7 foot or over to play for the kings. I like that. I like that. It's a good combo. I think it'll definitely work. You've got the twin towers meets small ball. What can go wrong? Nothing. Just throw it up high. That's right. The big guys catch it. That's right..

New England Patriots Cut Cam Newton; Mac Jones to Start
"Speaking with our breaking news at foxborough. The patriots are releasing cam newton. And we'll move forward with as their quarterback pro football focus posted this week that the alabama rookie has the best preseason rookie passing rate since two thousand thirteen and now look to do with him. Couldn't do last year. Get new england back to the playoffs. Oh shannon what will be the patriots record with mac as a start of the season trying to look as you mentioned. I've tried to schedule and looking at it I say this is gonna make the playoffs. And so i believe it's gonna take ten wins for them to make the playoffs. So i'm gonna go ten ten and seven at the bare minimum possibly lebanon states. But i'll be conservative. I'll say ten and seven I think mayfield play well. I know they're not going to rely olmec as much as maybe some of the other quarterbacks but they're going to run the football i believe they're going to be a top five running team and everything they do is going to be predded gonna be set up the running game so they're gonna be heavy play action. They went to the to tidy. As they went and got a hindrance free agency got john newsouth upgraded the wide receiver position. I think decide nelson born. Yeah so they got some weapons. I man i still like jacoby. Myers i like here tomorrow. Watching the better he gets. I really liked jacoby. Myers in so with that being said skipped. I'm gonna say they go tunas seven and they make the playoffs.

"So for us, it would be, do you want $47 million in one year and then you're a free agent and you can figure out what you're going to make after that, or we'll give you a 120 million for four years. So you're making 30 million a year. So you're making less per year, but you've got that money secured into your future. So how much money do you really think you're going to make when you're 33 years old at 34 years old, right? And you hit free agency again, do you think that big offer is going to be out there or not? So that's the decision that Chris Paul had to make in theory Russell Westbrook could do that as well. A little bit different because he's a few years younger than CP three, but that's essentially what have to happen. In order for us to do that, that being said, regardless, it's probably not going to free up cap space or anything for the Lakers. We're just talking about what is the contract end up looking like? How much are they going to pay in the luxury tax stuff like that? It's not like suddenly, you know, Russ is going to, I don't know. Take 10 million a year over four years or something rather than 47 million for one season and they're going to free up cap space. That's not what's going to happen. Sonic fighter 25 set of Gasol leaves, I don't hate cousins as an option. Agreed. Agreed. I think, look, if Gasol leaves and the Lakers have the mental approach of we really wanted that skill set. We wanted that three point shooting big that can pass a little bit as well. Like boogie cousins fits that. Unfortunately, he also has the same negative attributes as a solid in terms of the slow foot speed. You've got the injury wrist there. That sort of stuff. That's your concern. Defensively, he's gonna get put in pick and rolls like crazy, all that. But if the Lakers said, look, we really want a true center that can be a three point shooting player force that can stretch the floor. Then boogie cousins, I feel like would be a natural replacement for Marc Gasol if he leaves if that's indeed what the Lakers want. A true center who can shoot threes. Maybe they don't. Maybe they go, hey, Paul Millsap. You can play small ball 5 for us and we're okay with that. We're gonna get a little bit more versatility on the perimeter, a little bit better foot speed, not that he's quick by any means. But we'll get a little bit better foot speed in exchange for dropping down in size in the middle. So maybe that's the route they go. But if they're looking for a like for like switch, if Gasol leaves, DeMarcus cousins to me would be a very.

"rondo" Discussed on Lakers Nation Podcast
"He was the driving force behind the defense that we saw in game 6 of the NBA Finals. A lot of that was rondo coming up with the different schemes and things. And that was a tremendous defensive performance that helped win the Lakers NBA championship. So I think there's a lot of positives about bringing rondo back. You could also talk about the continuity. Rondo having experience with the Lakers. Knowing what it's like to be with the franchise. Yeah, he wasn't with him last season, but there's still so much there that he already is familiar with LeBron familiar with AD familiar with Dwight. He knows these guys. He knows this coaching staff. He knows how things run and that can help because you've got a lot of guys coming in. Who don't? A lot of guys who haven't played with these players quite yet, who haven't played in the purple and gold, who haven't played in a long time talk about Kent bazemore, Trevor ariza, a lot has changed since they were wearing that golden armor. So I think rondo can help you transition some of the new guys in as well. Do I need to say any more at this point? Rondo, I think if he does hit the market, he should be the pick over a guy like Isiah Thomas over Darren Collison over Mike James or Tim Frazier and you can make arguments for all of those guys. I'm not saying they're terrible players, but rondo, I think just checks more boxes. And so if you make a lot of sense as a pickup for the Lakers, I've got some people saying no rondo, look, I'm not saying rondo 30 minutes a night. I'm saying rondo every couple of nights he gets in there and he helps you out. Maybe he's playing ten to 15 minutes a night. I'm not saying you're leaning on him. We're talking about one of the last positions on the roster, right? We're not talking about a guy that is going to be getting 30 minutes a night, even 20 minutes a night. We're talking about a guy who's going to come in, fill a role, and that's about it. Ramon fars from Facebook said, who do you see the last spots going to trip? So I think one of them is going to run them. I think that's going to happen. It just feels like there's too much pointing to that happening. So I think one goes to rondo. The other one, I would love to see James Ennis. I think he makes a lot of sense..

Lakers nation dot com fantasy football league has been filled. We are right now putting that link together. We're gonna do our draft and just over a week. And I think we will live stream that draft. So you guys will get to see who picks where and all that kind of stuff. So it should be a lot of fun for everybody who applied, appreciate it and we did fill our league with our 9 members plus myself. Matthew optimist Peralta and of course, Ron Gutman, all right, let's see what we've got coming in here. Got a lot of people making comments here about Rajan rondo. Yeah, we do need to talk a bit about him. Notice I've got my rondo Jersey up in the background. That's the one that I had to buy because of you guys. Because all season long, I guess season before last when the Lakers won their championship, we talked about rondo's three point shooting, his struggles defensively, the age, all that kind of stuff. And the one qualifier was always well, but if, if playoff rondo exists, then all the ill will that we had for him rondo during the season. It all won't matter. It does. None of it matters if rondo shows up in the playoffs. And I said, I don't think playoff rondo still exists though. I think he's he's a thing of the past, but if he does, Lakers nation, I will buy a Rajon Rondo Jersey and wear it on her next show, and that is that Jersey right there because sure enough playoff rondo showed up for the Lakers in 2020, helped them win an NBA championship. Very, very cool, and I'm so glad that I was wrong on that one. But Rajon Rondo Ramona shelburne today on ESPN radio mentioned that rondo is a strong candidate for the Lakers should he get bought out by the Memphis Grizzlies. I do believe this is the reason why we're seeing so many roster spots being held open. Right now the Lakers have three. We've heard they're only gonna use two of those roster spots. I think one of them is earmarked for Rajon Rondo, if he indeed does get bought out by the Memphis Grizzlies, which part of the reason why we think this will happen is because the grizzlies have 17 players under contract right now..

"Earlier today, all about the closing line of the starting lineup That might look like the Lakers don't have a clear-cut closing line up. I mean, I think it's very easy to sneak. Okay, R Us a d LeBron. Those three are going to be on the floor but Skyler, who are the other two were the other two that Frank vogel's going to lean on to close out games. To close out games. We're not talking about starting. No one can close out closing out. Honestly, if you can in some cases, I think you go with the five Hall of Famer lineup and you put Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony in there. Oh, okay, to close out games as you got four, guys who can hit absolute buckets. Then again, though, then again, I was getting a little bit, starry-eyed with the five Hall of Famers on the floor. She might have to rescind Dwight. Howard at the end of games. If we can get Anthony, if we can get Anthony Davis, playing the center role. Otherwise, I think you want to go with whoever proved to be the best three-point shooter. We added. Which, at this point I might be most comfortable with Wayne Ellington. I do think you walk Carmelo on there. So I think the Russell Westbrook Wayne Ellington at the to Carmelo at The Three Little Pigs before and a via the five. It could be a real death lineup for the Lakers. I like that. I like that. I do think there's going to be some flexibility here. I think there's going to be some flexibility for exactly. Yep. I've got plenty of guys, you can turn to you. So Frank Vogel who likes to ride the hot hand? He can certainly do that here. I think if you're really, if you're going to really go defense, a d is at the 5,000 Branagh Westbrook on the floor and I am putting Bazemore in a reason with them. And that's that's my defense first lineup. That's how I'm going to if I'm looking at. Hey, I've got a five point lead and there's two minutes left and I want to close this thing out..

"I would say. Yeah, I agree. I'd be perfectly comfortable with him taking that shot with him being the guy right to take that shot. What I would want to do. Though is I wouldn't want to just hand in the ball and say here, go, right? Like LeBron James LeBron. You can just hand him the ball and you could say go make something happen, right? Take your guy one-on-one and you know mellow though. I think you want to try to get him in a mismatch situation. You want to be a little bit more careful about where you put them seven years old. I don't think it's fair to just say here, go get a bucket by yourself at this stage. I do think you want to try to run something for him, but him being the primary target and that song. LeBron say a decoy or something. I would be very comfortable with him. Taking that shot. As long as you're giving him. You're putting him in the right situation, in order to hit that shot against either a switch Defenders month or something like that or you're freeing up something with an action going on, the other side. I'm not at this stage of his career, handing him, the ball and say here, just throw them to the wolves and say you can go and create yourself something. Yeah, I think mellow for a corner, three end of game. If he's open, is just going to be straight cash and the one other area that I trust them going back to, you know, what happened with Portland is that pull up drivel if you has an opportunity and otherwise you'd hope you make the right play. If he's not open on that, pull up dribble. But if he can take one dribble inside the three-point line and hit the mid-range. I trust them at the end of the game, but I think fans are really going to grow to enjoy, just how clutch Carmelo Anthony can be at the end of games that being said, so can rust so Canadian. So can LeBron, that's right. They've got plenty of options there to turn to, which is which is a good thing. It's a good problem to have David J from YouTube with a super chap. Thank you. Does Larry Market at sound appealing, love a show by the way. Well, thank you David. My name is Larry marketing. Is appealing. Problem is logistically, getting if it's all but impossible, see what's happened is the Chicago Bulls. They have rightly made a more restricted free agent..

So yeah, and again that all that was taking place while we were in Vegas. So that explains why I could remember exactly where he went about their things going on Thursday. Oh, somebody asked. What about Taco? Fall, Taco Fall my goodness. So Taco fault like he's not that mobile. But he's also. What is it? You think he's like, seven five thousand. Yeah, something like that. I gotta tell you. So this is this is a summer league story from a few summer, leagues ago. When Taco Fall was a rookie and I go to I go to interview him. It's not comical like trying to just reach the mic up to actually interview him. I was struggling like I'm trying to get on my tiptoes and everything, just just to reach this guy because he's so tall. Super nice guy. By the way, super nice guy. Obviously, the size makes people say, oh we want that guy. I don't know that he's got the kind of Versatility that you need like when he really get minutes. I don't know, but maybe just for the marketing opportunity of choco, Tuesday. Maybe that's where something that could be, that could get the team hyped in and of itself. And, yeah, I know something else. I have to bring up Trevor. When you bring up, how tall Taco Fall is dead. I love Dwyane Wade, one of my all-time favorite players. But Aaron Gordon. Jump over Taco Fall and Dwyane Wade, gave him a nine. Also, the mention of Dwayne bacon, not all just came to my head. They're still absolutely shocking. But I don't know about Taco Fall. Sit on the Laker as a player. Unless you know, you just really need someone to clog up the paint defensively. Yeah, we seem to have that stuff. Right? And I don't think that's something that they really need right now. And if they did I think there's a lot of other options that are still kind of out there. By the way, if you look at the the guys who are out there right now, there's a number of centers that were still kind of out there on the market that they could try. Maybe Taco Fall is one of them but some guys with a little bit more Mobility, they're still out there on the market. So interesting, Hassan Whiteside for. Yep. Well, maybe somebody that you could turn to. Yeah, I don't recall if he wound up anywhere or not, if it was in the last week. I may have missed it. For good reason. Yes, for good reason, indeed. People say no way Kevin Love gets bought out. So look the Kevin Love by out. It's the same reason why we said, look, no way Blake Griffin gets bought out and then he dead players are starting to be willing to give back more. Oh, Whiteside did go to Utah. I forgot about that. That's that. Didn't I forgot about Utah. I forgot he landed there. My, my fault free agency was a whirlwind..

"Is a rumor that's going to happen. We're just kind of Connecting the Dots here. If we go down that path, though. What do you think about Rondo? Potentially coming back to the Lakers wage? There are a lot of dots to connect here. I absolutely love Rondo coming back to the Lakers. I can see it happening. I can see a working. I mean, let's get real. This is the year of Lakers just reviewing and this is like the ultimate Lakers meme Squad. How many times do we see Carmelo? Anthony Photoshop into a Lakers jersey. It's like everyone who's ever meant to be with the Lakers. It's like a greatest hits package out of Lakers opponents and role-players over the last little while. And so, I think that raised on Rhonda would be a great fit with this roster. I loved the idea of him coming. I mean him and Russ at Westbrook and having just that that gritty go for it. Always giving it mentality. I think if we, if we got Dwight, Howard, may already from the 2020 Championship Squad. I saw something the other day, we only got four players left left, bring wrong, go back. I love that move. And I think there is actually a high birth. Possibility with Memphis unless they want them to to train ja Morant. But I mean you got two guys and honestly in Memphis grit-and-grind, I think Patrick Beverley might be more of that culture. So I think it's almost probable almost probable. I raised on Rondo. Can I got back in the Late Show? Jackie Barnett from Facebook, says so good. You ended up getting that Rondo jersey with a smiley face. Yes. I did indeed wind up getting a Rondo jersey because of a bet that I lost to Lakers Nation cuz I said play off. Rhonda were not going to see it happen. And if it does I will buy a round New Jersey and where it on the show and and sure enough it happened and I'm now the proud owner of a Rondo jersey. I couldn't be be more happy to be wrong about that one. By the way. I've got a lot of people saying no, we don't need Rondo in the chat. Say we don't, you know, he doesn't look he didn't look good last year in the playoffs Club. Could barely even turn to him. What I'm looking at these last few roster spots. What they do on the court, doesn't matter as much. I'm not saying it doesn't matter at all, but it doesn't matter as much as chemistry and what they provide off the month. Safe there, a good fit in terms of keeping the team focused in terms of keeping the guys all on the same page. In terms of being in that extra kind of Coach out there on the floor. That's really what you're looking for and took a few spots, not necessarily guy who's going to play a lot. For example, I'm not playing Rondo /. Kendrick Nunn. I'm not saying play Rondo over Russell Westbrook. I'm saying for that random night in January, when the name is resting a couple of players and you need another ball-handler, maybe throw them in for a little bit..

Clippers Trade Patrick Beverley, Rajon Rondo for Eric Bledsoe
"The clippers have reportedly acquired veteran guard. Eric bledsoe from the grizzlies. They will send patrick. Beverley rajon rondo and daniel otaru to memphis and the deal. This'll be bledsoe's second stint with the clippers. He was drafted by the team in two thousand ten and spent his first three seasons in la. This is mostly a money move. It saves clippers thirty million in luxury tax and it creates eight point three million traded player exemption that they will have a year to us so it gives them some flexibility moneywise bledsoe's going into his twelfth. Nba season the average twelve point. Two points three point four rebounds and three point eight assists per game last season with the pelicans. He was traded to the grizzlies before the draft in july. So think this is a good move overall. Money wise for the for the clippers. And you also get a good player and eric so people were kind of freaking out like us too much eric. What's it like. This is cleared up a lot of money with this. Also the way patrick. Beverley season ended with a clipper. That's something the way. Push chris.

This is what a leader sounds like. Why don't you do your job. Why don't you get this order secure and until you do that.

'cause he's gonna be a force to be reckoned with in the years ahead rhonda santa's with some clarity on the masks for kids rhonda santa's shane parents get to decide. If you wanna mask your kid up when you send them off to school knock yourself out. You're not gonna let anthony fao. She tell you what to do. More of rhonda's sanchez yesterday in florida. We think it's really important that parents make decisions about whether kids go to school with mass or not so. If certain parents feel that they want their kids doing that. We're not gonna prevent that. We have a lot of parents including me. Who doesn't think that's healthy for our kids to be wearing masks all day and i know people joe biden think the government should force kindergarteners to sit there under these mass for for six seven eight hours a day. I could just tell you. Laura in florida last year in our school districts we had some that had mass requirements others. They didn't the ones that didn't those counties had lower per capita cases than the ones that did and so it's not proven to really impact viral transmission in schools. And so that's why. I think it should be the parents decision. And it shouldn't be mandated by the government.

Drummond a Better Addition to Lakers Than Rondo to Clippers
"We'll really both teams. Latest editions have paid off saturday. Andre drummond helped lead the lakers in an upset win over the nets. Thanks to his twenty points and eleven rebounds while yesterday rajon rondo dropped five ten points in the fourth quarter. Help the clippers close out the pistons in a comeback win so shannon waiting to think long and hard about this who is the better acquisition from in oregon out here. I think both gas were what the doctor ordered I think would rondo. Does he is allow. He allows paul george and kawhi not to worry about the ball handling situation especially late in the ball game so now they can do what they really good. At that score the basketball rondo will always get them into the right set. He will always do the right thing. Andre drummond is. This is just what the doctor ordered scale because he gives them. Something that the lakers didn't have the size and strength on the block. A guy that could score down there a guy that could rebound down there and a guy that can defend down there so for me. I'm going to say audrey draw. But although i believe rondo a great acquisition andre drummond is going to be the difference between the lakers winning and losing the title. Because i believe skips if you remember last year would they could do. Is that javagal. Into why they all they own for the most time they own the rebounding advantage. I believe this is going to be another situation that they're gonna get a lot of second chance opportunities because the look the other night i think andre drummond had offense rebounds that gives you another opportunity to possibly get. Am one adult or is going to be kicked out to a wide. Open three point shooter so for me. I'm gonna take andre drummond. 'cause i love and plus he three in august this year

Like i missed it I woke up. I talked about it a little bit. And then i had a hard time back asleep. Well the headliner didn't get traded. And that's kyle lowry but let's start with the orlando magic. Because i can no longer make fun to them by calling them the orlando inertia because they traded everyone and they are going to be so bad when they next play which could be tonight. I don't even know else playing tonight that they are obviously positioning themselves. To go full rebuild. Bow and get a shot at kate cunningham. Whoever's next seat next year skate cunningham their biggest deal let's start with butchnevich to chicago for twenty twenty one. I at twenty twenty three. I and wendell carter junior and otto porter. What were your thoughts on that. Because i didn't think i was gonna get traded. And i thought if he did the price would be even higher than this and i was skeptical that anyone would offer them that kind of pressure i did. I didn't think a deal what happened. What do you think about this from either either perspective. I don't care which one to start with. Yeah i mean. I think for I thought it was going to be three ones. If you're going to get in the game for a reverse first rounder. Three first rounders. I thought that's what it was. And i guess if you're landau i guess you're quite that the wendel carter junior the pickup equates to a first round although he's got two years you know he's going into an extension year so it's not like you get clean slate with him.

Montrezl Harrell: Lakers wanted me more than Clippers did
"With the media yesterday for the first time since. Leaving for the leaving clippers for the lakers. The reigning sixth man of the year joining the lakers was a business decision when he was asked. If the clippers wanted him back he replied asli. It seemed that way. Does it shannon. Does this tell you. I think the biggest thing is that maybe The clippers treads didn't feel like the clippers made him a priority. He's like. I'm the sixth man of the year. And here we are a couple of days into it. You would like to think they probably had been having conversations with rich paul at some point in time and says okay. Yes we want to. We want to bring him back. This what we're looking look. This is what we're looking the rain that we're looking to pay. What are you. What are you looking for Maybe trades personality. Get when you come up. Like trees transplanting. I don't even know if he was drafted. But when you come up like he did scrapping and trying to fight. Play hard practice hard every single game. You bring hawaiian. Paul george in there and he thought their practice on the court in those guys are sitting on the sideline or those guys are missing game. That's gonna rub him the wrong way. It looks to me from the outside. Of like i said i don't know it looks like from the outside looking in skip. That's not gonna change and paul george. You the superstars moving forward. They're probably gonna take practices. Probably gonna take gave up and it was eager to move. Let tread go be a free agency as opposed to have that conflict in running back. So that's what it looks like meets get. I could be totally off base with this but it seems to me because we heard rumbling either. They upset that guy's missing with practicing when they wanted to guys playing when they wanted to and that rav some in the locker room. If i had to guess it would probably be. That would be rubbed the wrong way themselves. But this is a good deal for trae of you look at it trays serge. Ibaka and triple double t. Basically got the same deal. The mid level exception with a second year option with us a team or player option. That's what they got shooters. Got the money bretons. Look what he got. A boat on from sacramento. He signed that big offer sheet. Big skip really aig got didn't get the money because they're not shooting putting a premium on shooting the threes and scope. I like i like the lakers. Getting trans because i believe they're getting a guy. That's extremely motivated. He didn't play his best basketball win. The season resume. Let's not sugarcoat. He didn't play once he got to the bubble and maybe his grandmother. He had a lot on his mind. He didn't come back with the same ferocity that he had. We live because up until that point skip. He was a monster in when he came back. He wasn't bad but it didn't feel like in to him because it all it matters to him. He didn't feel like the clippers prioritize pill or they didn't send the they didn't give him an indication that they wanted him back as much as he thought he should have been wanted back he says okay. I'll make a business decision They got this over there. I won't like you like you say rondo. He wasn't going to have to move. You gotta move where he might have to have won the platinum the other than the go so he might you know going down there to the marina which neither the apply anything close by
