And he commands no respect from outside which will make our already cramped spacing even worse. And he hasn't played good defense in years, he's somehow still riding on a reputation that he hasn't earned in 5 years. And the ball sticks in his hands more than anyone this side of Westbrook and Harden. And his effective shooting percentage the last few years was around 45%. That's astoundingly bad. He can't finish, shoot from 3, or hit ft's.
Please don't forget that we hired Finch for a reason. The ball belongs in the hands of our big men and our guards should be able to play off them. Not the other way around. JAMEER NELSON looked incredible last year playing in an offense like that around Jokic. Now multiply Jokic by 2. Rondo serves no purpose on the court with this team. Sign a stopgap that plays his role if we can't get anyone else this year. But don't sign someone contradictory to the type of basketball would should be playing.
