Rondo given top odds to return to Lakers. LA fans react.

The BOVADA betting site has given the Los Angeles Lakers the best shot at re-signing former Celtics guard, Rajon Rondo, to a contract. They also gave the Lakers LA rival Clippers the second-best odds of landing the veteran point guard. 

Rondo's former coach, Doc Rivers is now in Philadelphia, so Philly lands in third place, tied with the Boston Celtics. I recently proposed a return to Boston for the irascible, 2-time NBA Champ, a move I envision as beneficial to both parties. 

The reaction to the BOVADA odds generated a mixed reaction from Lakers fans on Twitter:

I need DeRozan odds 

I think sixers make alot of sense. history with doc and morey. also wants to be a coach. mentoring ben is a move in that direction 

I don’t care where he goes as long as it’s not the Clippers!!! 

Lebron James will have to take load Management games off, the Lakers would have nobody with ELITE Passer's I.Q. and veteran leadership. 

Lakers beat OKC WITHOUT 3 starters. No Rondo they lose that game  

You also said Kawhi was going to the lakers  Doesn't surprise me 1 bit. 

Sorry Alex Caruso. 
 
76ers wtf

I go along with the "76'ers wtf" reaction to the news. The often-volatile Rondo and Doc Rivers came close to a physical confrontation as Celtics player and coach, respectively, and they often did not get along. The Clippers? Maybe. But he belongs back in Boston as a solid rotational guy - and in the coaching ranks down the line.

UPDATE: The Lakers are reportedly in negotiations with OKC to acquire point guard, Dennis Shroder. That potential move may lower LA's odds of retaining Rajon Rondo..

In defense of Marcus Smart

By
 Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S...

According to many sources, the Celtics Kevin McHale did indeed have an estimated wingspan of 8-feet. One of those sources is Wikipedia, as seen below: Kevin McHale American basketball player DescriptionKevin Edward McHale is an American retired basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Boston Celtics. He is a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and is regarded as one of the best power forwards of all time. He was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. Wikipedia Born: December 19, 1957 (age 61 years), Hibbing, MN Wingspan: 8′ 0″ Height: 6′ 10″ Spouse: Lynn McHale (m. 1982) NBA draft: 1980, Boston Celtics (Round: 1 / Pick: 3) Hall of fame induction: 1999 Number: 32 (Boston Celtics / Power forward, Center) Kevin was listed at 6'10" tall when he was drafted with the 3rd pick in the 1980 draft.
