So does Rondo get to be called the "new kid"?

Sounds like we're bringing him back after he clears waivers.

I'm fine with it, for the min. I think he works well in locker room alongside Lebron. At 35, he's a baby.

For what it's worth....I think the squad we had 2 years ago had some really great chemistry/comradery, and I think Rondo and Dwight were large part of that. I'm a little curious how Rondo and Westbrook coexist. Could be great, but it could get nasty before the month is out. I guess we'll find out

Rondo I'm thinking takes on more a sidelines player coach role. I think this will benefit both Nunn and Westbrook as I don't think either had a seasoned veteran pg player to mentor them in any of their seasons.

I’d love having Rondo back. Would be great for Nunn and THT. Westbrook, too.

[TylersLakers]

I’m sure he’ll basically take over the Dudley role but actually be able to contribute on the court when called upon.

He'll play about 10-15 min a game and come playoff time, probably be main back up after Westbrook. Many people are looking at his results from clippers, but don't think he liked being a clipper - he'll be fine being a Laker

Rondo is a Lakers legend at this point.

Won the ring while almost being a legit 3rd option in 2020 while being paid the league minimum.
Got paid by Atlanta.
Went to the Clippers in exchange for Lou and a pick.
Got traded along with Beverley.
Waived and returns to LA again on a minimum salary contract.

Add to that list a game winner at the buzzer at the Garden for the Lakers against BOS albeit in a regular season game. That was such a dagger to them and sweet for us.

[Kilroy]

Rondo's going to be the next Lakers Coach...

I love Rondo as a Laker. It's crazy because he wasn't just a small feature of The Celtics (like Fox) he was a big part of what made that Big 3 go, and at a time when we were battling for championships. Then he turns around and becomes a Laker Legend. Has there ever been such a hated rival to legend transformation? I don't know.

Meh on the signing. I agree with above. In the PO is the back up behind Westbrook. They should never be in the court at the same time tho
