Rajon HOT WATER Rondo

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Rondo should not even be under consideration as a returning player, he was a stopgap only needed because Pangos was unplayable. And just how many coaches do we have room for? I agree Rondo will be a good coach somewhere if that's what he wants to do but why in Cleveland?

Why not Cleveland? Avery Johnson had like 7000 assistants with Dallas in like 07. We can do it too

Sure, he can be an assistant in Cleveland if both parties agree on it. What I'm asking is, after a very long career in many different cities and teams, what is it about his few month stay in Cleveland as a veteran presence that makes him any kind of lock to pick this as his landing spot?

Has the franchise indicated an interest in trying to keep Rondo around? If and when Rondo wants to jump out as a player and begin a coaching career (assuming he even wants to coach?) he would have opportunities in multiple cities and on multiple teams. Has there been any indication that the Cavs and Rondo are mutually moving in that direction? Or is this just typical fan speculation?

Wishful thinking on my part at least. AFAIK there has been no dialouge between the Cavs and Rondo on this. I just think he will be an awesome coach bc of how well he sees the game.

Nothing particular about Cleveland other than it seemed he really enjoyed playing here. Have not seen Rondo that into it since the early Boston days and I think Ainge burned a lot of bridges for Rondo with that city.
 
I also wouldn’t mind if Rondo care back as a coach, he has the respect of soon to be next Max’s contract of DG……Maybe he can unlock some PG skills out of Sexton, while keep developing Garland and the other guards on the team….I won’t forget how Garland said he was the only player/coach who would sit down with him on planes rides and go over strategy and others things on the tablet , that meant a lot to him……

I get it, but have we looked at the list of last guys on the roster around the NBA and for the Cavs over the last handful of seasons?

Did JP Macura, Jeremiah Martin, Andrew Harrison, etc… provide any actual value at all? If Rondo really was that player coach type and the other guys bought in? There’s still room for him I think.

If it's between Rondo and a Pangos type, sure he could be the last guy on the bench. I'm seriously hoping we can upgrade our depth with playable guys who can become the next versions of DWade, LStevens, etc. But there is surely a place for veteran presence if Rondo is content to be that guy.

My point is, if his intent is to transition into coaching he probably has the whole league to choose from. If he wants to keep suiting up then maybe not so many options. Physically he is definitely diminished and I wouldn't want to rely on him as a key back-up/rotation player any longer. It remains to be seen what and how much roster churn happens and I think his fit will depend on how things look after some of the more major moves have been made.

What is a Pangos type?

Whatever it is, stay away from Cleveland!
 
"Bachelor says Rajon -- a 2x NBA champ and 4x All-Star -- was playing video games with his son on May 11 ... when Ashley asked the boy to separate laundry. Bachelor says Rajon became enraged and ripped the game console out of the wall in front of the kid.

Ashley says Rajon then continued the destructive behavior, smashing everything from a teacup to outdoor lights and trash cans.

Bachelor says the kids were upset after witnessing their dad losing it, so she tried to "deescalate" the situation. But, she says Rajon responded by making a death threat, allegedly saying, "You're dead."

Rondo temporarily left the home, according to Ashley, before returning about 15 minutes later, when he allegedly approached a back door and began banging on the window with his gun.

Bachelor says she didn't know what was going on, so she approached the door from the inside to take a look. She allegedly saw Rondo with the weapon and asked him to stop because he was scaring her. She says Rondo didn't listen, and instead yelled, "Go get my f**king son!"

Ashley says she feared if she didn't comply with the alleged gun-wielding hoops star something bad may happen, so she brought their son, Pierre, downstairs, but kept the backdoor closed.

Soon after, Ashley says Pierre opened the door and Rondo "yanked him outside."

Bachelor says Rondo, who was still allegedly holding his gun, was screaming at Pierre, asking why the boy was scared of his dad.

Ashley, who claims her son was "visibly upset," says she didn't intervene because she was scared Rajon would shoot her.

Bachelor says Rajon eventually demanded their daughter also come outside ... where she claims he yelled at both kids for being afraid of him.

Thankfully, Ashley says Rajon's mom and dad both arrived at the home ... and although they didn't have much success in calming down Rajon, she claims he eventually left the scene.

But, now Bachelor says she's scared for the safety of her and her kids, writing the following in the emergency order of protection on May 13.

"I am extremely fearful for my safety and for the safety of my children. Rajon has a history of volatile, erratic, explosive behavior. He is verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive. He physically hits our son and calls him names like 'p***y' and accuses him of acting like a 'bitch.'"

"Rajon verbally assaults our daughter. He calls her names like 'thot, bitch, and d**khead.' Rajon has made several threats on my life, saying at various times he will shoot me or shoot up my car."

Ashley Bachelor was granted protection for herself and her two children by a local judge."
 
When he asked his kids why they were fearful of him as he swung his gun around in their faces.. I had to double check that I wasn't reading an Onion article.
 
Nice guy.

But hey, at least he watches game film with Garland...
 
Read that like "AYO, WHAT THE ....FUCK???!!!"

Man, this year been ass, but this is peak ass right here.
