The Los Angeles Lakers are building a roster with playmakers around LeBron James instead of the conventional wisdom of shooting.

Rajon Rondo believes in the potential of the strategy.

“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.”

Rondo explained that a counterintuitive approach is the point.

“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 believes the Lakers will be title contenders in Year 1.

“You put any team, any group of players around LeBron James, as he has done [eight] straight times, he went to the Finals,” Rondo said. “So my expectations are the exact same thing.”
