    Not enthusiastic about this, but I trust Morey.

    You do know the difference though right? Neither Lebron or Bosh are guards.

    Same way Rondo, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett co-existed and won an NBA championship.

    What??? Some people call it prognosticating. Others term it "insider information". I just think it is malarkey, to use a nice term.

    Rondo will be a vocal leader and lead by example - Something Harden and Dwight are incapable of doing...

    Also lead by playing BOTH ends of the floor.

    Not surprising at all, but good to hear nonetheless.

    Morey told me several years ago when talking about the 2006 draft that he thought Rondo was the best player in that draft (other than Roy).

    I knew he liked him, but he was never available.

    I just don't understand how we can get Rondo...

    Bye bye Parsons? To take Asik and Lin off our hands?

    So you want to turn Harden into Ray Allen?

    Lebron and Wade are both ball dominant in the way that Rondo and Harden are. Rondo is elite and a bulldog, I love this target. 3 superstars and we would be favorites in the west.

    Do not understand how Bosh, James, and Wade could co-exist either. They all need the ball in there hands.

    This was my best guess for his big move. Word was Morey talked about how he though Rondo was the best player in the 06 draft.

    I'm all for it. Rondo is an upgrade in so many aspects.

    Just an educated guess.

    Lin + Tjones + 1st rounder for Rondo
    We use Asik to target a PF (Ersan maybe or Millsap preferably).

    He doesn't trust DWills knees but he trusts Rondo's. I wouldn't touch rondo until the summertime. How do we know his knees will stand up long term. He's already missed games since coming back from injury...

    I'm not feeling this move. It's not a great fit.
