    I already said he never claimed that, just that other posters are dillusional and think that package would work. Sooooo. You're the idiot

    I believe we should ask Tony the Greek about cyberx identity.

    cyberx did not have a trade scenario. He simply said that the Rockets were willing to include Parsons.

    Ban this troll. Zoplicone is a butt-hurt Lin fan who can't stand the idea of Lin backing up a legit all-star in this league. Rondo is the best PG in the NBA after CP3.

    I've been waiting for this since mid-season. The Celtics want to rebuild and Rondo is the last player/asset they have and they don't want to dump him like they did Pierce and KG. They want something of value and Parsons, Asik, a PG, and picks is definitely an offer they will be interested in.

    Yes, his non-sensical ranting is giving 13ers a bad name :cool:

    exactly. parsons would be a trump card. not sure if morey will have to use it, but he's apparently open to the idea and it should top everyone else's offer.

    Well, one of the side effects of Zopiclone is "hallucinations of various strengths", so......

    Yeah. I don't care if we trade Lin. We need consistent bench production. Rondo would be sweet, but what we're willing to give up wont be enough

    Good read though

    Assuming an Asik+Lin+Parsons for Rondo+Bass scenario, i might be willing to concede Lin and Bass as a wash but doesn't anyone think that Asik+Parsons for Rondo is way lopsided? That is 2 starters for 1.

    I think i missed the games where Rondo is = to an unstoppable max contract player.

    Feeling a little skiddish going into this deadline. I would like to see how this current roster matches up in the playoffs.

    W/e im confused:confused:

    You wouldn't trade Asik & lin for Rondo?

    A proven elite point guard (with championship experience) vs. overpayed 6th man & above average defensive & rebounding center?

    Huh. Name some alternative trades other teams would make for Rondo that are better?

    I agree with cyberx. Look at what Gordan Hayward was offered by the Jazz. Parsons is playing better than he did and he will most likely get offered at least that. I'm not saying he's not worth it, but our roster would be locked and stay the same if we match the offers he gets. We would have to build with late draft picks and small FA signings every off-season.

    Definitely would be an exciting move. As an aside, if we do get him I can guarantee a lot of posters will be hating on his horrible perimeter shooting and free throw shooting after only a couple games. Clutchfans, where overreacting both in the positive or negative happens.

    Before cyberx reported this, so many of the same posters who are extremely in love with the idea were hating on it before there was a possibility this trade goes thru. Funny how that works. Its probably how many of you think about women. If she's unattainable she's ugly or would not hit, but if there's a possibility then she's a supermodel. You guys crack me up.

    Of course I would. I was just calling into question the credibility of bleacher report as a source.

    I would definitely weigh insider info from cyberx heavily. No trade packages were ever suggested but the fact that we're looking at Rondo narrows down a lot of fantasy trades we would have otherwise dreamed about.
