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.Pick6;1080639 wrote:Have to agree with wildcats. Yea, I think Rondo is a really good point guard and I like him alot, but I dont think he fits well with somebody who demands the ball as much as Kobe.

Pau is ass? Did I read that correctly?hoops23;1080680 wrote:Agree. Pau is ass. Lakers get killed by quick PG's, which would instantly improve if they got Rondo.
Not real sure why Boston is hell bent on giving up Rondo though, he's only 25...

It's about positioning themselves for the future.

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.

KG would punch Gasol in the face in the 2nd or 3rd game.

KG would hit him, then hide between the nearest teammate/coach.

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.Commander of Awesome;1080780 wrote:Also Russell Westbrook should be no lower than 4th on that list, I'd put him at 3 personally.

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.
