I don't think Rondo's an alpha, not really....
But the trick is George Karl. He's more alpha than anything else, and is he going to have the brains to swallow his alpha pride with those two? Because you can approach a gamma, you can earn their loyalty. But you have to do it as an equal. I have no idea at all if George can suck down his pride enough to sidle up to them like that, or at least to back off and just let them be their own men.

And that's where Vlade comes in. He's got everybody's loyalty, and if Karl is having trouble non-alpha-ing Boogie and Rondo, hopefully at least he'll have the sense talk to Vlade about his problems.
