Celtics shopping Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo??

I posted something like this a little while ago, but I didn't have any of those comments that Ainge made on my post.

I would take a serviceable Ray Allen over Pu**y McGrady anyday. He could really find his touch getting those passes out of the post from Yao. Plus he's healthy a lot more time than Tracy.

 

me thinks you could have added this here

Ray Allen has been really streaky during the playoffs. He's getting on up there in age.

 

i dont know why are they shopping rondo, consider the fact he was they best player during the playoff in my mind, or they just think it was a fluke.

 

I'm not sold on rondo...at all. If they can get "real" star value for him them by all means do it. Allen is Done. Celts are smart for making sure they get something for rondo while his value is SUPER high.

 

Ainge is dumb in lowering Rondo's value by those words.

 

Exactly my thoughts.

Plus what if they don't manage to trade him. Can anyone say disgruntled employee.

 

+1 on thinking the same exact thing.

Why would you put emphasis on a player's faults if you are trying to move him? Seems very strange. If anything, he often seemed like one of the few guys bringing energy and creating for the Celtics during the playoffs.

I can easily see them wanting to move Ray Allen because he is an aging shooter. They'll need some youth if they want to transition after the "Big 3" hang it up.

 

Apparently that Doc River's comment is from two years ago...

 

hahaha. right but probably by 5 dollars.

 

Hoopsworld blows!

 

I don't see the big deal shopping Rondo. He and Stuckey are overrated IMO. Rondo played a hell of a playoffs, he is a special player, but you cant build around him like you would Amare. Rondo has a case of the Luol Deng disease where people overrate his value. I can't believe the Bulls were so high on Deng 3yrs ago. Laughable.

 

Rondo isn't going anywhere. Being a tough guy to play with is not enough for a team to part with a guy who was just a hair's width away from average a triple double through two rounds of the playoffs.

Ray Allen could be a goner. I think he hurts the Celtics more than he helps them due to his streaky shooting. He needs to come off the bench and get minutes based on how he his shooting that night.

 

The thing is though...we are talking about Point Guards.

Rondo could have always pulled a Matt Maloney and sucked with 3 future HOFers.

 

^^^I meant to bold the last part...comparing Deng to Rondo.

 

lock this thread up, it's ridiculous.

 

thanks for the laugh. i did find it funny.

Rondo just emerged as a star. Ray Allen isn't going anywhere.

KG comes back and they are expecting a ring.
