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

[DevilsAssassin]

Jeff Green can't provide that?

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.

He doesn't just work great in that system, Rondo is the architect of that system.

The Big 3 revolves around Rondo. If you've seen the Celtics play, they now rely heavily on Rondo's playmaking.

They need some guys who can create their own shots coming off that bench if they want to give it 1 more run to the NBA Finals.

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

This. Unlikely that he will be traded considering that there are few teams, with enough trade assets, that need a player like Rondo. Anyone on that Celtic's roster, aside from Pierce, is open to being traded.

[DuMa]

they're not gonna trade rondo.

Thats what I meant. That system is built for and around him. But having him pass to hall of famers all game isnt hurting his image either.

Who?

When you provide an answer worth not being laughed at, I'll then take your weak argument of Rondo being overrated serious.

Jrue Holiday, John Wall, want more?

Jrue Holiday, John Wall, want more?

Neither team would trade them for Rondo.

Next?

[AMISTILLILL]

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.

No thanks.

[StroShow4]

Would be a smart move, Boston. I will continue to preach Rondo = overrated.

Jrue Holiday, John Wall, want more?

Zero percent chance of WAS trading John Wall and I think Rondo is a horrible fit in Philly so they'd probably be happy with Jrue (who is extremely young with tons of potential).

One team that kind of sticks out to me for a Rondo trade is the Clippers. Maybe Memphis too (but Boston won't want anything outside of Gasol IMO). Rondo is probably the more valuable to Boston than to any other team, which is why I don't think he will be traded.

I'm just curious if Boston would have the balls to trade Rondo for an expirer and asset to go all in for the 2012 run and try to sign both Paul and Dwight to pair with Pierce. Then they might even be interested in a Kaman, Bledsoe and Minny Pick for Rondo trade. Or even Billups and Fields for Rondo (although I don't think either side would want that).

[Harison]

Rondo is cornerstone of Cs future, so he isnt for trade, unless someone offers impossible to resist deal, which wont happen either

[Rnbizzle]

I think all in all it really depends on the fact if Boston thinks they can still contend with their current roster, if the big three get too old, I would get rid of Rondo as soon as possible because he would still be worth quite alot.

[AMISTILLILL]

Rondo isn't going anywhere for anyone, short of Howard or Paul.
