rajon Rondo and Rick Carlisle going at it

[Heavincent]

Carlisle probably was making fun of his FT%.

It's disgraceful at this point.

His 3 PT% is higher than his FT%

I thought Iguodala was bad.

[Bigsmoke]

I just came back looking at Rondo stats

[CP343]

Not good seeing this in a contract year.

[ProfessorMurder]

Rondo went from being untradeable(according to Boston fans) to being the scrub of a trade.

Keep acting like he didn't tear an ACL. Nah, that couldn't have anything to do with it.

[buddha]

teams could beat the mav's by going hack a rondo in the playoffs lol.

[ProfessorMurder]

Plays in one system for 8.5 years.
Comes off of an ACL tear.
Traded to a new team, midseason, and the trade decimates their bench.
Gets his face kicked in.

It's only been 20 games.



The Mavs weren't going anywhere anyway.

Parsons sucks and is making more than Rondo.

And it's not like they restructured their offense for him. They plugged him into a place where he's less effective.

this thread just confirms most people are ****ing clueless about ball. Rondo is a ****ing good player and isn't the immature cancer people make him out to be. He hasn't meshed within 20 games big surprise.

[andremiller07]

Devin Harris has been one of the most underrated guards in the NBA a long time, I said they should have just started him and instead of trading away Jameer and Wright for anther PG would have been better off going after a PF/C who can defend.

Jefferson and Charlie and even Amare have all stepped up as well.

[FPJ]

What a shocker. Where are the "Rondo best PG when healthy" warriors? Where are the "MAVS are a clear contender now" people? Where's Rondo's winner mentality?

Another proof this site is hosting some of the dumbest creatures on earth.

[1987_Lakers]

The more I think of it, Danny Ainge is actually a brilliant GM.

- Got the Big 3 together and won a title in 2008
- Traded ancient Garnett & Pierce for Brooklyn's upcoming future
- Traded mediocre Perkins for J. Green then traded Green for a First Round pick
- Traded overrated Rondo for a bunch of assets

Boston has a very nice future if they make the right draft picks.

[aj1987]

Rondo has always been an immature punk. Dude likes his assists and pads the shit out of them. Probably mad that Rick won't let him.

@ProfessorMurder, Parsons is a much better player than Rondo.

[Pointguard]

The worst news in all of this is that he sulks for long periods of time. Even when healthy he is a player that likes to know where his players are. So without a training camp, he isn't going to a pass around the perimeter team and fit in. I thought it might be a clash of styles when I heard about it. It obviously is. Remember he came up under Pierce, Allen and KG and they couldn't mold him.

It wouldn't surprise me if there is a buy out situation within two weeks. I wonder if the Bulls bite.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

I'm glad he's gone. Very overrated player - he's never been a top 30 point guard for me

This is the best ISH reply in some time. And that says a lot.

[Heavincent]

Why should they have to restructure their offense? They were already elite before Rondo.

[T_L_P]

Rick has had enough patience at this point.

Rondo has been dreadful. I really can't believe he's been this bad. We needed to make a move, but we clearly made the wrong one.

What a shame. It's like the Lamar Odom thing all over again....

Still holding out hope he can help in the playoffs, but right now it's looking like worst case scenario with him.

What surprises me is the amount of Dallas fans who still love this trade ("he brings good defense, that's all we need!")

Like you said, he's been dreadful, and he's the opposite of what a team-oriented player should be (and he's a Point Guard).

I don't think Rick even wanted this trade, tbh.
