    I would love to have Rondo. The rumor is that he is going to be ready to play next month. I just don't think the Celtics are going to trade him right now. I can definitely see them trading Jeff Green and Brandon Bass though. I am sure that some other team will be involved as well.

    Bass put up numbers similar to what T-Jones is doing right now when was in Orlando except way less blocks. Pass.

    Mike Brown, btw, admittedly can't pronounce name of #Rockets C Omer Asik. "If I can't pronounce his name," #Cavs aren't trading for him.

    I've heard from a few people who think that an Omer Asik trade may go down on Wednesday. Nothing definite at this point though.

    Honestly, how is Omer Asik a hard name to pronounce?

    Bradley is definitely one of the elite perimeter defenders in the NBA. And he's improved his shooting in a bigger role this year.

    But no, he is not a god enough play-maker. He is not a PG. Period.

    There is a reason why Brad Stevens made Jordan Crawford, a career (5 seasons in the NBA before this season) SG into a PG ahead of Avery Bradley. In 30 minutes per game, Bradley is averaging 1.3 assists per game, which is about 40% less than Beverley's, without a ball-dominant SG next to him.

    Avery Bradley is an upgrade over Beverley on this team.

    But he's not a PG.

    His team chooses a career SG to play PG ahead of him.

    He's HEARD from a few people who THINK the trade MAY go down on Wednesday. However, nothing is DEFINITIVE at this point.

    So if Omer gets traded tomorrow, Kennedy will be like "See? I told you so!" but if he doesn't then it doesn't matter because he never implied he will anyway.

    Kennedy throws empty words around. He's like 21 years old and tries way too hard to be Woj 2.0. We have to start ignoring guys like him and Amico because they aren't sources.

    Kennedy is a good guy and he does have some sources. yes, he's young and sometimes his sources feed him garbage and he believes it but other reporters/insiders allow themselves to be used by the teams/players/agents. Kennedy isn't tainted like that ...... yet. I like him. Don't always agree with him but he's got a good basketball mind and he loves the game. Wouldn't write off anything he says .... although telling us the trade may go down tomorrow is kind of a "no duh" moment.

    Alex Kennedy sucks. Don't repost his garbage tweets as Clutch and others havealready established during the Howard chase, that Kennedy's tweets were outright rips of other peoples tweets..

    Do you realize that around 80% of the tweets are outright rips of other peoples tweets? Very few originators in this game.

    See I don't think Bass would start over T-Jones but he would be a great backup to have. He can crash the boards and can spot up for a jump shot as well. Not only that but we would probably get Jeff Green as well. He is playing really well and he would be a great backup to take some minutes away from Harden. He plays way too many minutes and that is why he is getting hurt all the time.

    I know Rondo is a pipe dream but not impossible. Lin gives Celtics a scoring PG that can create for himself and others. He would be attractive to them. Though I am sure Celtics will ask the world for him.

    On the other hand, I would LOVE Bradley. One of my favorite non-Rocket player. Lock down defender, we are definitely in need of it.
