Rajon Rondo believes that the new-look, high-IQ Los Angeles Lakers can survive and defeat the Golden State Warriors. They just need to crack the code.
The Lakers are building a roster with playmakers and toughness around LeBron James, and Rondo believes the strategy will help dethrone Golden State.
“We might have a roster where there’s five ball handlers on the court at one time,” Rondo said. “Five guys that can … playmake and create offense for each other versus just one dominant ball handler. It will be very versatile and I don’t think you’ll be able to scout and stick to one gameplan as far as being able to stop a certain player.”For Rondo, the new approach is clear because simply lining up and outshooting the Warriors just won’t work.
“I think it is kind of crazy if you think you are going to outshoot Golden State at this point,” Rondo said. “Obviously, they have proved it … that no team can really shoot with them, so I think of other ways that you have to try to beat those guys. I think we are going to try to crack that code.”Rondo also believes the Lakers will be title contenders in Year 1, with so many great players surrounding LeBron.
