i was just talking about this with a old head tonight. He been a laker fan since before Magic a real old head. He believes there is a conspiracy from the top the reason Dwight Rondo and Mcgee wasnt resigned. Some slave master type shyt. I dunno about that but he cant stand Wes or DS. Said DS gotta be on crack to think he worth more than 80 milly like who the fukk are you. I defended DS cuz i think he plays well with Bron but i get that part. He said thats why we need more black owners so if they wanna keep a team together they can. On some my brothers keeper type shyt. He said Bron got the right idea but owners hated giving the players that type of power that's why he got made a villain for that shyt. He felt the Nets are following that same blueprint but better and ownership is only allowing it cuz they want that ring in BK. He said Rondos worth is in the high millions for what he brings to the table but the NBA is ass backwards with the agism shyt. He said you should be paid according to your value not your age or plus minus or all that bullshyt. Interesting convo its just not the reality of things unfortunately
Lakers would be worse right now if they didn't make those moves. Harrell, Gasol and Drummond is an upgrade over Dwight and McGee. Could you imagine how trash this offense would be with Bron and AD out if the Lakers didn't have Harrell? :picard:

Schroeder is theoretically an upgrade over Rondo and for the most part is having a better regular season than Rondo has ever had as a Laker. Rondo is good in a reduced role but is not at the stage of his career where he can carry the torch when superstars are out. Granted, neither is Schroeder, but I think he's doing a better job than Rondo would have.

Your whole point is...well theoretical. you can imagine a lot of things. Imagine if Lebron didnt didnt get hurt. Or AD. one could imagine a lot of things

The point is this team is better constructed to withstand injuries to Bron and AD. The combo of Harrell, Schroeder, Gasol, and Drummond is better at generating offense than Rondo, Green, Dwight, and McGee. The latter might be better ancillary pieces with the team at full strength but would not have been able to withstand injuries to Bron and AD.

Ok. this has nothing to do with my original post.
