Also Russell Westbrook should be no lower than 4th on that list, I'd put him at 3 personally.

Question for debate, where do you see Irving in comparison to Irving? Think Irving will be better player than Rondo? Certainly he has a better offensive game, but Irving lacks in the def aspect. If that list was players 25 and under do you think Rondo is ranked higher than Irving?

Kobe doesn't demand the ball anymore than Durant,Wade or Lebron. Rondo would be a great trade for the Lakers. Gasol has been spiraling down for 2 years now.

rondo is only 25 this would be a great move

pau is only going to get worse, while rondo will keep getting better
That soft euro is the reason you guys won two titles recently, perhaps show a little gratitude.

Not real sure why Boston is hell bent on giving up Rondo though, he's only 25...
Pau is ass? Did I read that correctly?

Just saying, the Lakers don't win anything without Pau.

Martin goes to LAC and Wilson Chandler says he will be going back to Denver when his season is over in China. JR Smith, Sasha Vujacic, Aaron Brooks will be next.

LOL you're giving it too much credit I'd say in the 2nd or 3rd hour of their first practice.

While mean-mugging over that teammate/coach's shoulders for the next five minutes.

I think Irving will be better than Rondo. Defense is nice, but let's be real... The NBA is an offensive league. Kyrie has gotten much better defensively and looks like he wants to excel at that side of the floor as well.

IMO, Kyrie will be right there with Rose and Westbrook in a couple seasons. He's a better natural shooter and he can get to the hoop just as easily. Just because he doesn't throw it down every time he gets in the lane means little to me. He and D Rose both share a great ability to make tough lay-ups.

Call me crazy but I would rather have Irving than rose. I think Irving has a better shot than rose and doesn't need to demand the ball as much.

Classy that the Lakers are retiring Shaq's jersey but they could have called and told him before he found out on National TV and thought it was a joke by Ernie, Kenny and Charles.
