Not really.  Rubio is out for the season.

It fits what they have been doing all season long. They are playing a lot of lineups with two small guards and three bigs. Now Rubio is out for the season. He was really important for them as a floor general. With three bigs in the starting five they need someone that can set them up. Rondo isn´t nearly as good these days but on paper he should be able to play a similar role.

I think rondo is just meant to be a Band-Aid until they make a bigger move this year. I still think Cleveland might be the one that ends up with Simmons. The jokes going to be on them once they realize that rondo sucks.

I know that, I question the replacement. Other than slight playoff revival with Lakers in their tital run, Rondo was bad for several seasons now. Atlanta was looking for an experienced vet to help with their bench last season and gave up on the experimetn by TDL. Rubio role from bench was much bigger than anything near what Rondo showed in a long time. Is Rondo really that much better at this stage than (for example) Pangos? Plus all the drama he brings.

That could be a disaster for Cleveland. As much of a team cancer Rondo can be I wouldn't want Rondo anywhere near their young guys if I was Cleveland

[Mavs2021]

Should have gone for Dragic instead.

Damn. When you need an extra bus, because you can´t throw them all under one.

@"Mavs2021" What is "the NN podcast?" I have to hear this quote in context.

[RedFlag41]

"Tall Rondo" is Ben Simmons?

I think this is fake. This came from something called the "Nutsack Network" lol. I think they're a parody twitter account.

They also said this is how Bagley responded lol

Very fake

While I'm sad we'll never trade for Fox & Bagley in one package, at least we aren't the worst franchise in the league.

Are we sure this isn't photoshopped? What in the world....


Well if Fox isn't on the block he definitely should be now. That or Haliburton, Bagley and everyone else is on the block.

EDIT: Just saw it was the "Nutsack Network" lol. Yeah, totally fake. One could dream though. This level of drama would've been legendary.

I apologize. Didn´t bother to check the source.

Reading Lakers might be doing this to free up a roster spot for Stanley Johnson.

I had no idea Simmons has been accruing so much in fines this year.   Makes Philly's hand even less advantageous in trade discussions....added to Philly less than inspired play this year too.
