I just remember that before all these 'super teams' happened, almost every star player are well distributed in teams. Currently, most teams in the NBA have been fully stacked with superstar veterans intended to win the championship. The best example are the Nets in which they are also a champion caliber team. If the Lakers can get past them, then I think they could be the next champions in the next season.

It's news to me that the Lakers are getting back Rajon Rondo. I don't think that he will play heavy minutes because Westbrook will be the guy to do much of the handling chores, we may like it or not. Melo, Howard, and all the other veterans will just be there giving support because come playoffs, their experience is very much needed. Wonder what's the average age of this current Lakers roster, 36? 

May be they want experience in their side more than the youth.The average age is a bit high for me. Rajon Rondo coming back to Lakers is good I think he will bring that experience in the side and it will only benefit Lakers.

Yeah, that was last season and we all thought that they're going to take the ring by that season and we're all wrong as there's another team that had taken the ring and they fall short and didn't get into the finals. And there was a team that's very good at the start-up to the mid of the season but also fell short. But still, it will rely on how they're going to play on this season. Hopefully that this caliber roster of Lakers will get what they are wanting to give and as part of it with Melo who also didn't have a good start last season as it's just a last-minute before his past team took him on board.

Last time I checked it's above 32.x something, and being the oldest in the NBA so far.

Rondo also provided a lot during the playoffs when he was in the Clippers. But during the second and in their last playoff series against the Suns, he was used sparingly. And maybe that's one reason why he wanted out of the Clippers and missed the Lakers.

He could be coming from the bench as well and not a starting five for the guard position because Westbrook is the first option. But the depth though of the Lakers, even if they rest some of their starting five, the next group could pass as starting five for the other teams already.

He has no problem with Lebron, in fact, he is a big help for the Lakers as when Lebron is down, Rondo could always lead the PG position to still make the team competitive. I know they have Westbrook now, but in terms of basketball IQ, I still see Rondo is smarter as he played all around especially in defense.

Carmelo Anthony is the oldest at 37 years old, but I think though the average age of the entire roster is at least 30, I think they are still fit to play and they have the experience. If they are good at managing their roster, then we might not see a serious injury of this team next season.

They have a lot of veterans and the 2nd unit is a strong team, so there's no need to force the starting 5 heavy minutes just to win.  

I don't we don't hear that as it's very unfair for the other teams.

Yes, i remember that. Howard was a good Center both offensively and defensively in the 2nd unit. I'm not sure If he'll be in the starting line up this year.
Same goes for Rondo, he was so vital to the Lakers system from both ends of the floor. I was actually sad to hear when most of the Lakers championship team left and got traded. They could've reached the 2021 Finals If they have retained the same roster.

Agree, if Lakers kept that same roster they can still have the same winning game while Davis and LeBron still resting.

The chemistry between all those players is already synchronized, with McGee and Howard, together with Kuzma Rondo KCP and Caruso
are good enough to maintain their good standing, unlike with how those new players did when there's no LeBron and Davis inside.
