    Guys this is me thinking not any word on this yet. But would rondo to Houston and Deng to Houston cover the Parsons departure?

    You posted this back on page 6:

    From page 10:

    Page 13:

    Page 15:



    I posted this on page 41:

    You never responded to that, but said this from one of the quotes I posted above:

    "Playing with Allen, Pierce and Garnett makes it ever so difficult to assess a point guards abilities. Did the Celtics ever miss him when he was injured? Do they have a better dRTG or oRTG now that he is back? Or are they losing like the sad sack team they currently are even after he came back?"


    You aren't making sense, with all due respect. Just what I posted above makes you look foolish, in my humble opinion. Here it is again:

    "Rondo has won a championship, been an All Star 4 times, twice defensive first team and twice defensive second team, has lead the league in steals once, and in assists twice, is an excellent rebounder for his position. What does the guy have to do to be called a star in this league?"



    I get that you don't like Rondo. You aren't alone. However, that doesn't explain what I consider to be posts that don't reflect well on your knowledge of basketball, and particularly what makes a player a star. Say what you like about my opinion of your opinion, but this goes beyond the pale:

    You're insulting Clutch. Insulting him deeply. You are essentially saying that he's created this all in order to get page hits. As someone who's been here over a decade now, I can tell you that you are full of ****, and I'm not adding a "with all due respect" to that, either.

    Incredible.

    Wouldn't mind trading Chandler in a Rondo deal if Deng is the next move made.

    It's freaking Dolan.

    And they would do anything to put butts on the seat while continuing to suck on the court. And Lin is an upgrade over fatty Felton and that would be enough to please the Knicks fans

    Dude, Rondo is a 4x NBA all-star, 2x defensive first team, 2x defensive second team, 2x NBA assist leader, league leader in steals, etc.

    Rondo is a legit player. Asik and a first rounder for Rondo is an absolute steal.

    Was thinking the same thing.

    Do you think after working so hard on courting D12, that DM would risk pissing off his new star by trading his buddy?

    I would rather ship Deng to them, as I think he is expiring at the end of the year...which gives them more cap flexibility.

    I don't think Morey moves Parsons. I think Morey caves and moves Jones with Asik/Lin.

    And I think it's possible we wind up with both Rondo and Deng. Aski/Lin/Jones/picks/minimum salaries out, Rondo/Deng in, Boston sends Jeff Green to Cleveland.

    Cleveland is up a creek without a paddle right now with Deng. They will NOT get anything close to what value they gave out in picks. I think the picks are gone. I think they're stuck with taking on a decent player on a mediocre contract (like Green) and possibly a high second rounder or possibly a player on a rookie deal....at most.

    Parsons, Lin, and Asik get you Rondo.

    Rondo, Harden, Deng, Jones, Howard

    That would be nasty.

    I would be happier with a

    Rondo
    Harden
    Parsons
    Deng
    Howard

    EW EW EW. That's a title contender.
