NBA Free Agency

StojkoVrankovic · RIP texas celtic, 12/10/14 - 12/10/14

Wow with that Rondo signing.

I loved Holiday off the ball and working with Rondo, good luck trying that with Elfrid Payton

Kind of surprised people are upset at Rondo considering he was traded years ago and has played with a few team since then.

Lesson learned...the hard way.

Its not suprising at all. He played with Wade. That was shocking.

So now, three members of those Big Three Celtics teams will have joined forces with LeBron: Ray, Perk, and now Rondo.

*vomit*

Baynes was signed with "non-Bird" rights. Still have the MLE. Though probably only the taxpayer MLE ($5.711mil), if we use it at all.

Is this sarcasm on his part? Right now they have less than 5 million in capspace. Lance gets the room exception. Cousins won't go to them for that type of money.

Yeah there is literally zero reason to be upset with Rondo. He's a free agent and didn't really have many other options. The dude hasn't been with the Celtics since December 2013.

LeBron will be 35 then. No more super teams for LeBron, even LeBron will eventually fall off a cliff.

This guy kept my fantasy team afloat for a bit last year.

I'd prefer him over Yabs.

Different circumstances I know, but I mean he got mad and is still pissy at Ray Allen to this day for going to kneel before the “enemy” Lebron to ring chase.

Yet here he is doing the same. It’s just a bit hypocritical.

That’s my point. They are essentially punting their cap space until next year in the event they don’t get Kawhi in a trade

He'll blow up the Lakers chemistry before it even starts.

Just think about this team man: LeBron, Javale, Lance Stephenson, Rondo. Take a step back and think about that

Owwww! My brain hurts thinking about it.

Soul hurts too. Why, Rondo, why?

Not even remotely close to the same circumstances. Ray Allen turned down more money from the Celtics to play for their biggest rivals and threw pretty much everyone--especially Rondo--under the bus in doing so.

Rondo to the Lakers is...just sad. Wow.

I believe Charlotte, as well.

So I think he has met with OKC, LA and Charlotte so far.
