Ainge attempting to trade Rondo for Paul (supposedly)...

ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard reports that the C’s are not shopping the 25-year-old Rondo, but would trade him in the right deal.

“The Celtics feel they need more scoring to take the load off Paul Pierce,” Broussard wrote in the report.

Broussard looking like he wants to monopolize the pre-lockout ending free agency/trade noise.

Thoughts?

I think it's funny because Celtics fans said he's untouchable and the team is still going to contend for years with current roster and not rebuild.

Well no shiit, anyone can be traded if the price is right. he's not really saying anything.

He wants $, a lot of them.

He wants $, a lot of them.

This, and right now his value is still high, once the original big three continue declining and actually get too old, Rondo will get exposed.

In the end he's a great passer and good defender but most teams can't get away with a PG who's incapable of knocking down jumpshots.

Rondo is signed for a cheap deal for the next 4 years.

Gotta love Broussard's "reporting".

I don't know if you can label Rondo cheap with the way he plays. I don't wanna be a hater but seriously, put the dude on the Timberwolves and see what happens.

Seriously?

Put him on the T-Wolves and that team is a fringe playoff team.

I think most knowledgeable nba fans understand that he works great in that system with that squad and would only succeed as a 5th scoring option.

And oh yeah I think this'd be the "right deal" imo:




for




Made a thread a while back w/ this trade.

Win win for both teams, Celts get young decent PG to manage game while bringing back fan fave Big Al.

Jazz get tough young franchise PG to go w/ young core of Favors, Kanter, Haywood, and Burks + expiring vet C in Jermaine O'junk I mean O'neal.

I really think it would take a good offer (at least another all star or future all star) for them to trade him. They'll probably try for CP3 but it'll only happen if Paul is open to Boston (and the only way I see that happening would be if Dwight says he'll sign there in the off-season).

What happens?

He becomes the architect of a team loaded with young forwards with a lot of potential in Love, Williams, Beasley, Johnson, & Randolph.

He'll put up over 11 PPG, 11 APG, 4 RPG, 2 SPG on 45%FG.

Minnesota becomes a better team and competes for the 8th seed in the West.

I dont think anyone here is saying Rondo is a "superstar" on the level of Deron Williams, Chris Paul, or Derrick Rose. However, he is a 2nd tier PG in the NBA who is an impact performer despite his lack of a jumpshot. He is arguably the best passer, best defender, & he is a threat to put up a triple double in any game due solely to his hustle & effort much like Fat Lever did.

Not trying to hate, just want an answer. Has chris broussard ever broke an nba trade/pick up/signing etc? when has this guy been right?
