Winning definitely isn’t on the agenda. Terrible roster.

I think LeBron is happy to ride this out with his friends. NBA champ from Coast to Coast, plus the big one in Cleveland.



This is Kobe-Shaq-Malone-Payton levels of washed up.

Trading Rajon Rondo helps Los Angeles Lakers' roster flexibility, coach Frank Vogel says

The Lakers valued roster flexibility in the moment over potential playoff contributions in the future when it came to trading Rajon Rondo, L.A. coach Frank Vogel explained Monday.

L.A. sent out Rondo, a couple of players stashed overseas and $1.1 million, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, as part of a three-team deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks on Monday. The trade landed Rondo with the Cavs; Denzel Valentine, draft rights to Brad Newley (54th pick in 2007), L.A.'s draft rights to Wang Zhelin (57th pick in 2016) and cash to the Knicks (New York later waived Valentine); and brought New York's draft rights to Louis Labeyrie (57th pick in 2014) back to the Lakers.

So the Lakers actually paid the Knicks $1.1M so they could unload Rondo to the Cavaliers.
