Should the Lakers trade Rondo for DRose?

[PeroAntic]

Lakers need a closer and shooter to lead the second unit. DRose is stuck on a bad team which he is carrying as much as he can playing 20 minutes from the bench. His numbers per 36 minutes are better than his MVP season, and the only advantage Rondo used to have over him - defence - now is gone. Should LeGM pull the trigger?

DRose stains trying to destroy another team :facepalm

As if destructing Griffin with Roseball wasn't enough.

What idiot gives Rondo and Caldwell-Poop a no trade clause? :roll:

As if you werent the dumbest piece of shit around here, now youre claiming it was Rose who injured Griffin?

Roseball has made an end to Griffin's tenure as an All-Star caliber player in the NBA. Griffin in 18/19: 25/8/5 on 46%, Griffin in 19/20: 16/5/3 on 35%. Roseball, career killer.

Did Rose injure Griffin?

Rose is just damaged goods at this point and the teams that had him don't really miss him


No need to add dead weight to a team that's toned up

Hasnt Rose improved though?

Minny probably missed him.

Rose is a good player again.

Don't see how he is more "dead weight" than Rondo.

Did Rose injure Griffin?
Yes.

[sdot_thadon]

Op. nope.

Trolling in this thread aside, the Lakers need someone more like Rondo than Rose in terms of someone that can literally ally it to Dwight/AD on every single play down the court in the playoffs or kick it out to a shooter if the rolling big is doubled. Rondo would do this 10x better than Rose. They don't need someone who needs the ball to have an impact.

[Jasper]

I disagree - Rose would be a great fit for the Lakers, because they don't have a bench !!!!!!!!!!

Roses career IMO was never a good defender , but with Howard in the paint and showing the crowd he is a Junior super man of what he once was , can help Rose.

Rondo is basically riding the pine.

[HylianNightmare]

Agreed

Rose is a pnr and drive + kickout specialist. Hes assisting at a career high rate surrounded by shooters in Detroit. If these guys could defend and Blake was not on one leg, it would have been a strong playoff team.

Did OP just call Rose a “shooter”?

The man is shooting 31.5% from 3

[SamuraiSWISH]

D Rose is still quite good. Better than Rondo for definite.

Question is...can D-rose accept a lesser role in the team?

D-rose is one of my favorite players of all-time no doubt.

Will he fit? :cheers: :lol

[PeroAntic]

DRose is already a sixth man playing 20-25 minutes per game, he would be the same for the Lakers.

Cool. Lakers should pick him. I'm not 1 of those idiotic bran stans. :oldlol:

I'm actually one of the rational bran stans out there.

D-rose would be good. :applause:

[AlternativeAcc.]

Nah, his awkwardness affects the locker-room culture in a very negative way

while I think LeBron could overcome Rose's awkward stench and carry him to the promised land (while espn spins a positive story about rose overcoming adversity and finally winning a championship... i can literally envision such a goofy scenario playing out while he mumbles his sob story to the masses) - it simply ain't gonna happen.. rose blew his chances in this league by quitting on Chicago.. he blew his career like the unfortunate loser that he is.

Rajon Rondo DRPM: 0.40

Derrick Rose DRPM: -3.62

:yaohappy:

[bladefd]

I would rather acquire Collision and then bench Rondo :P

D-Rose unnecessary

[jbryan1984]

Stat for stat, Rondo is still easily a bargain when it comes to point guards in the league. Always has been.

Garbage as usual. Look at the elite defenders Rondo plays alongside with and then look at Rose's teammates.

None of that changes the fact that Rose is one of the worst defensive players in the entire league. Rondo is just lazy. He can play defense when he wants to. The point is that Rose is far, far, far worse and you acting like there's no difference is laughable.

Rose also plays elite defence when he wants to. In the clutch hes one of the best one on one defenders in the league. But you will not see this in the advanced statsheets.

[LukeWalton]

out of curiosity, threw it in the trade machine (but had to add one more guy cuz of the salary difference)

didn't expect this
