Casspi signs with Kings. That's going to be a fun team to watch; I expect over 40 wins.
Rondo/Collison
McLemore/Bellinelli
Gay/Casspi
Cousins/Evans
Kosta/WCS
One of the deeper teams in the league for sure.

You do know that Rondo is really bad at basketball now right?

Im not going to ignore his previous 8 years all because he played for a coach that was a terrible fit for him (46 games). I know he seemed to slip his last year or so, but is only 28 and a year or 2 removed from being an all star and teams wanting to max him.
If it doesn't work, they have a good point guard in Collison, but I would bank on him playing decent.

Well, he will actually be right.

It's going to be interesting to say the least. I'm excited about this upcoming season for the first time in years. Vlade did a hell of a job at upgrading nearly every position that needed upgrading on this roster. Even if it doesn't work, I can't knock him for trying.
Rudy Gay is trying to recruit Josh Smith as the last piece.

Yes, because Chris Paul is an incredible PG.
I'm sure he wasn't efficient when Blake was out and CP3 was on the bench.
And we dont know if his offense will be fine in Dallas. That is all speculation at this point.
What we do know is that DAJ greatly benefitted from being paired up with the best passing PG & PF in the league.

If you look at that stretch when Blake was out CP3 had a big spike in his assist numbers. I'm sure DAJ was a huge benefactor of that.

Has he even played without both? I know he put up 20/20 without Blake and I know his numbers improved without Chris Paul.
Look at Chandler avg 17 pts/100 on 67% shooting and he's an inferior version of Jordan. (plus the Mavs don't have Blake taking up space I the lane) Or look what Brandan Wright did.
There whole offense is designed around the pick and roll whether it be with Parsons or the point guard. They will have shooters in Dirk/Matthews in the corners. Dallas lead the NBA is lobs last year before they acquired Rondo.
