Rondo may not be the perfect fit, but he's probably the best fit.

Naw Rondo would be a bad fit

Would rather buy low to bring Dragic back

 

Rondo > Dragic

Dragic needs to shoot a lot to be effective.

Hes not the all around player that Rondo is. In fact, is Dragic elite at any one thing? Rondo is elite in everything except scoring.

Would Rondo let Eric Bledsoe and Isaiah Thomas take minutes from him? C'mon man.

 

Rondo and Olynk package together would be nice.

 

And expensive?

But maaaan, we do need to improve at the 4/(backup) 5.

 

lol at Rondo being more of an all-around player than Dragic... because scoring doesn't matter in basketball, right? Gimme a break.

Dragic isn't bad at any one aspect of the game. He's a solid defender, 3P shooter, driving to the point, passing, steals, etc.

You've got it totally reversed... Rondo is the one who's a specialist. He specializes in defense and passing. He's terrible at everything involving putting the ball in the basket, which is a little bit important in BASKETBALL.

 

So far this season, he's played 8 games and attempted only 13 3-pointers. It's too soon to be calling him a reliable 3 pt shooter.

Look at it this way...he's shooting 30% from the ft line so far this season. Is it fair to call him one of the worst ft shooters in NBA history?

 

Duh... You answered your own question. Rondo hasn't been 100% in... forever. He is among the most injury plagued players in the NBA. If you could get Lebron James but he could only play say 35 games with the rest of the games either severely injured or out entirely would you do it? ...and Rondo is no Lebron James.

 

He needs ball to thrive. Harden also need ball to get foul call. Harden is an average SG without ball.

 

This is a sad and true statement lol

 

Rondo doesn't seem like a Moreyball type of player since he sucks at threes and free throws. Backup C and PF are bigger issues than us than PG IMO because I'm high on Canaan.

 

I agree with the above and acquiring someone like ROndo. We need someone to step in at the 1 to give us some flexibility on offense. The analytics approach works when we have a dominant big and sharpshooters on the floor but we're going to need someone who can help protect the ball and provide a creative spark with playmaking. Pretty much every contending team has a strong PG right now.

 

Just a little tidbit for you here. Rondo, Dragic, and Beverley all share the same agent, Bill Duffy.

 

would much prefer Millsap if we are going to be putting up assets/money for a big addition

 

Rondo or dragic..... nice wants, buts not needs.

This team is hurting for a PF who can defend( think of all the west team with good 4 5 combos) and a decent backup center. Also, a coach who knows how to uh...........coach.

 

Rockets don't have enough assets that the Celtics would be interested in. We have a log jam at PF with young players we don't need Jones. Pap seems to be a nice player but not enough to really target for Rondo. A team will offer more for Rondo than the Rockets can, Rondo is almost averaging a triple double give the guy some credit

 

This is probably right, as far as players go. But we can offer the Pelicans' first round pick, so that's something.

The funny thing about Rockets fans who propose trading TJones/DMo is in one sentence they say "We need help at PF; our PFs aren't any good." And then in the next sentence they say "We'll use our PFs as the main piece of a trade to acquire a star player; our PFs are the best trade pieces we have!" It can't be both ways, guys.

 

what i keep wondering is, would Morey give Millsap 4/60m? its gonna take something like that to land him.

 

Then Rondo should fit right in.

"Man," says Rajon, "I'm awful at free throws."

Tarik Black answers, "Big talker! I suck worser at free throws than you, Rajon!"

"Oh yeah! Watch this!" THUD. THUD.

Morey from his seat: "C***s***ing, m*****f***ing sonofabiscuit-eater!"

McHale, slumped in defeat, half to himself: "Maybe I could pimp...."

Unfortunately McHale is not. And he's inexplicably high on Garcia.
