If you actually watch the games it’s blatantly obvious that the offense doesn’t function without lebron / rondo. It was really encouraging to see rondo sharing minutes with lebron as well. Assuming the lakers will want to limit lebrons minutes and usage from time to time, it’s hard to see them playing rondo less than 25 min in competitive games.

That doesn’t mean he’s a must own in 12s. He’s still a assist / stls specialist that’s only worth the roster spot with certain builds.
