Lakers fans all over Clips fans re:. Rondo

Of course the first transaction of Rajon's career reads this way

Traded (as a draft pick) with Gary Payton and Rick Fox to BOSTON for Chucky Atkins Chris Mihm and Jumaine Jones.

Obviously, Julius is putting in his work, and just as obviously, still stung by his playoffs letdown. 

Things I would like to see him address through reps, Reps and MORE REPS. 

* More work on his right hand, so defenses cannot collapse on his left [likewise RJ].

* Quicker more decisive decisions with the ball, where he is not so deliberate, banging, banging, banging the ball as he backs in his man; move that ball out of the block/paint to cutters and spot up threats, such as Kemba and Evan, confident they can convert an open shot or feed the ball quickly back into him in the paint [and be ready to roll down into the paint for a feed or an offensive rebound plus the AND + 1]

* Running more pick and rolls with RJ/Burks/Kevin and Mitchell/Nerlens. 

* As good as three point shooting is, use it as much as a threat as a reality, to open up closer shots in the midrange, or to set up cutters, like Rose and RJ. 

* STOP ARGUING WITH THE FUCKING REFS.  What's done is done.  KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME.  Let Thibs yell.  He has your back.  Don't take it out on the ref, take it out on the opposing PF.

Let The Stoopid Trade Proposals Begin

Ben Simmons has made if official. 

He wants out of Philly. 

He will not be reporting to training camp. 

Are the Sixers required to pay him his 4 x $147,000,000 every two weeks if he does not show up? 

Sixers have been asking for a King's Ransom [Warriors, Wiseman, Wiggins, #7 & #14 draft picks], and it has not been forthcoming. 

In terms of a competitive Eastern Conference, while this may not put the kibosh on the Sixers, it certainly drops them out of the very top tier  [Milwaukee, Brooklyn, Miami] and into the 4-10 scrum. 

1 Philadelphia 76ers

2 Brooklyn Nets

3 Milwaukee Bucks

4 New York Knicks

5 Atlanta Hawks

6 Miami Heat

7 Boston Celtics

8 Washington Wizards


9 Indiana Pacers

10 Charlotte Hornets


11 Chicago Bulls

12 Toronto Raptors

13 Cleveland Cavaliers

14 Orlando Magic

15 Detroit Pistons


Which teams are moving up, and which teams are moving down, sports fans?

I expect Sixers to get stronger

Just some material, which you may have already read:

Of course I expect feedback along the lines of "I am not giving up Brogdon BY HIMSELF for Simmons"

Cleveland to add TACKO FALL, likely on a 2-way deal.

Celtics add Juancho Hernangomez for Chris Dunn Carson Edwards and a pick

This is a really good step to addressing their bench issues

I think this puts them back in the 3 to 6 seed conversation

And Brooklyn adds PAUL MILSAPP

Celts in top 6?

Probably. 

Could be closer to 3, as you say - if the they figure the rotation well with regards to the very inspired Schroder

Kid in the Corner survived the Grizz deal.  May hold onto the 3rd PG (5th guard) slot and maybe play 7-8 MPG
