The Nets haven't been rumored or linked with Rondae, but I always thought an RHJ reunion would have been the perfect finishing touch for this squad.

Oh well, congrats to Portland. If Alizé is the real deal, let's keep him. If not, I hope we land another veteran in that same athletic, defensive combo forward mold.

If he could learn how to become just a decent shooter. He would have a long career in the NBA but he's always going to get passed over for someone that can stretch the floor.

Why, is zero in Brooklyn less than zero in Portland?

If he were on the Nets, he'd be behind both Harris and Green in the SF depth chart.

In Portland, I bet he'll take the backup SF role behind Powell. I know you guys have Jones (who is undoubtedly better than Rondae), I think both of them would have steady minutes.

Good for him, I can't expect him to keep turning down teams and waiting for Brooklyn to call. We made the mistake (waiting for an Otto buyout that probably won't happen), you guys got a gem.

The only chance he has at minutes is fouls, blowouts, and injuries. All our rotation minutes are going to Lillard, CJ, Nurk, RoCo, Powell, DJJ, Melo, Simons, and Kanter. The best RHJ can do is steal some of the 0 minutes going to Giles and CJE. I doubt he can get any of the 0 minutes going to Little.

due to defensive presence i could see him and jones splitting mins potentially
