Not the system of Walton but the way Rajon Rondo and Lance Stephenson played. These guys are not used to have a one man team player in their respective former teams. These guys are used to ball rotation plays. The blending of these 3 will be good if all things are successfully executed on the way. If LeBron is the only new acquired player of the Lakers then I believed that his system will be brought to the Lakers but it's not.
That is one more factor that we need to see.
This guys are team players. Their kind of game might get affected when this see Lebron doing everything. (including ball handling which Rondo loves).
I bet this is also why Kyrie left the Cavs. He wants the ball handling to be taken care by him and not Lebron.
Critics will be looking at this team and there will be different stories that will come out. What if's, who and why.
I wanted to see how Lance will play together with Lebron. I remember before when Lebron is in Miami and Lance is in Pacers, he can guard Lebron well. This guy is good, hope his talent won't be wasted because of Lebron playing style, ballhog. Although Lebron is really a good player, he shouldn't play like that if he wants his team mate help him and contribute in scoring. Let's see if this three can build a chemistry.
These players are more of matured now and with the characteristics of Rajon Rondo and Lance Stephenson, I think they are not a type of player that will just allow anyone to just do the tasks on their own.
As Paul Pierce said: far.
“As LeBron gets older in age, he needs guys like Rondo and Lonzo Ball to bring the ball up and make plays for him — guys like Lance that can make plays because as he advances in age he has to find different ways to score and make life easier on himself. Having a guy like Rondo definitely improves the team’s IQ.”Well then, we just have to see it once season begin.
Im really disagree that Golden State Warriors now formed a most superteam in the NBA as mentioned by the others because of the addition of DeMarcus Cousins. No such thing as they destroying the NBA. Didn't they know that torn achilles that Boogie experienced this year is one of the worst injury that happened on a player. Estimated recovery is 8-10 months so still we can't expect a 100% performance by Boogie once he came back maybe on January or February this year.
But if the healing process goes right, Boogie is definitely no doubt one of the reason why Warriors will become more of a deadly team once playoffs come. Chances for Warriors to sealed again another championship is definitely at higher percentage. Hope other teams will do some adjustments to make this season more competitive.
That is why Cousins also took that 5m deal. His agent might be in panic for no team wants him because of the injury.
I am guessing GSW management just want to use him for some game.
30 games for 5m could be enough.
and it is just a one year contract. He might be a star but the injury will still make other management fear it would come back. And yes it will.
As of that Paul Pierce quote.
He is right. That way he could also preserve his stamina by going half court without dribbling the ball. Make himself an off guard again or a small forward. Stay low and do some perimeters. Let Rondo do the passing, he is good with it.
Really a waste of salary space unless a team that will offered that truly believes that Boogie will be deadly in the upcoming season.
