MW: I would be so here for Ayesha Curry tweeting to the world how rigged the NBA is for the team that didn’t win 67, 73 and 67 games in the last three seasons. OK, guys. We do have to discuss a little bit of Bulls to be fair. I’m going to ask a simple question: what do you think Rajon Rondo is doing right now?

DC: A photoshoot for Anta? Holding conversations with his agents and teams in the Chinese Basketball Association? Recording a mixtape with Future? Doing a ton of community work, which I understand is something that he does? Sitting in a room alone, trying to figure out what “friends” are? Creating a list of ways he can throw shade and/or salt at Ray Allen? Laughing himself to sleep every night thinking about all the money Gar Forman is about to pay him? Spitting? Working on his 2016-17 Chicago Bulls team-best 3-point shooting percentage?

WL: Working on an equation to calculate the amount of shade he’s thrown at Ray Allen and Dwyane Wade.

PS: Rajón Rondo is rubbing GarPax’s feet while bringing them margaritas on command, in hopes that they pick up his option for the upcoming season. They will all watch the game tonight and Rondo will say with conviction, “See how they shoot all these threes? We have to zig while they zag!” GarPax will nod simultaneously.

BF: I’d like to imagine Rondo is off in some gym in the middle of nowhere just working on his mid-range and 3-point game over and over and over. I like to be a hopeful Bulls fan in the offseason.

DB: Rajon Rondo is sitting down playing Connect Four while watching his alter ego Franklin the Turtle on Arthur.
