They didn't have a choice.. Rondo wanted one last big contract and the Lakers couldn't afford to pay him. So they had to find an alternative. Their closing lineup with Rondo, LeBron, AD, KCP and Kuz/Morris/DG was unguardable.. Rondo was making his open shots and he was a great creator so LeBron could do other things.

[@BeanSprouts02]

@@aitlin On what basis is this tho? I know a lot of old bball fans who love him and not getting the hate he’s getting (tho they gave me some context that it might be because he went to Miami and stuff). And it’d make sense that older fans would know not to hate him because he’s just a player doing his best in this league like what OP said. What’s so wrong about that? It’s just so immature to keep on hating him and using insults only children would use.

[@aitlin]

@@BeanSprouts02 he's just a modern player and some people can't just leave what they've played or watched before. He doesn't have some of those characteristics of his game that can remind of old ball. Basically i would put it like that. At least not now. In past he probably had more respect but now he's not. Some don't like Miami move, some don't like the fact that he starts to play soft ball (flops, less energy used, less solo plays (like driving to the basket against defenders and do stuff he does his entire career)), some might not like his activity outside the court. There's some stuff that you can not like about him, but idk why overall people hating on him. He's a great player, teammate and businessman. I don't know man
