    If Rondo is on the trading block, he will goes to the Knicks.

    There is 0 chance he want to be here and be Harden's sidekick. Worst, as "sixth man of the year" coming off the bench for Beverley

    LOL you think Harden is listening to Rondo? He left OKC to be the man of a team, he's not listening to Rondo.

    If Rondo has a personality that irritates someone like Ray Allen, how do you think he'll react when Harden doesn't fall in line to his play calling? We know Lin just shrugs his shoulder when Harden ignores a signal, Rondo's going to react differently.

    Add to that Rondo goes hard on defense, he's the type that'll be all up on Harden's face for taking so many plays off. It's a feud waiting to happen.

    Knocks do not have the assets to trade for Rondo without trading Melo.

    Morey is gearing up to make a run at Love or Melo at the trade deadline this year along with having assets to go after Love this summer.

    Well incase no one believed me about Alan Hahn saying he heard from GM's talking about looking for takers for Jeremy Lin, here is more even promising evidence that the Rockets are looking to move Lin. They would never have this video live on NBATV TODAY! on National TV if there wasn't any truth to it.

    I recorded it on my iPhone and posted it to YouTube so just make the volume louder, it sounds kind of low.

    I didn't say Harden will listen to Rondo. And I don't think he will. I see bad chemistry between the two. I'm already thankful Howard isn't whining about his touches.

    Just speculation about speculation. Nothing concrete there.

    Anything could be called speculation without hearing it from the organization itself, but when you hear it from 2 different sources and this source is on NATIONAL TV - NBATV talking about it, talking about the same exact thing. There's more then likely ALOT of VALIDITY to it.

    Uh, Zwerling didn't say he heard anything from ANY sources. He simply was saying that if the right deal came along Morey would move him -- which is something we ALL already knew...

    You are under the impression, that Rondo would play the Lin role. He wouldn`t. Lin`s greatest strength is his scoring - sure, he is a nice player, but he is not someone that would ever average 10 assists, simply because he is looking more for his own shot. He basically plays the same role as Harden just not as good.

    Rondo plays a vastly different role, because he actually prefers to pass. If he comes here, he will handle the ball 80% of the time. Harden would have to adjust and I don`t think he will have a problem with that. I think it is by coaches design, that Lin and Beverly are just the handof guys, not by Hardens demand.

    I don't know why everyone keeps thinking melo is tradable. He's said multiple times already that he will retire a knick.

    Where's the link of Melo saying so? That's right, it doesn't exists.

    Melo retire a Knick?! I guess you just want more laughs. LOL. Melo is probably already half checked out and ready to get out of NY. Knicks have nada assets to put championship pieces & role players around him. Melo would be dumb to stay there and waste anymore of his prime years.

    It will end up Rondo start off the bench. Lin start off the bench simply
    because Rocket's would like to guarantee the star's box scores and minutes.
    simply looks at the early this seaosn. Lin comes back with much better 3pts and improved defense, still send back to the bench with reduced minutes and attempts.

    There is only one ball, Harden would like to play SG and PG. This will not change whoever is coming. Houston simply wants a defensive pg to
    max out Harden's scores with acceptable team defend.

    The other possibility would be using Rondo as an asset for exchanging a star from other team. If Rocket get Rondo, I would take this more than Harden will like to stay as a spot up shooter:D
