Sources: Rockets have eyes on Rondo

We are winning now with Parsons. 7 in row to be exact.

 

Would Celtics rather have Green at $9m for 3 years or Parsons at $10-11m for 4 years?

 

This is probably the least-informed post in this entire topic...

 

I believe the rumors are true. Before we got Dwight my source told me if a team offers Parsons a max next season they would easily let him go.

Why not trade him now for Rondo?!

 

celts wouldn't want both asik and lin due to their contracts....they would want asik, bev, and parsons.

 

Yes, everyone knows that. I'm just always befuddled when everyone compares Rondo to Kidd, Nash, or Magic in his ability to lead an offense. The best he did with a close-to prime Garnett, Pierce, and Allen is top 6, which the Rockets already are.

 

Laughable and delusional come to mind. Green has a player option. No way that Morey wants him. And two picks + Parsons? Unbelievable. I call this fan crack.

 

Sorry rob, just hearsay around the office. I'm being held in suspense just as the rest of us.

Don't mind him, he be hatin.

 

Pace.

Only way to really acquire Deng/Rondo with salaries

 

This is per possession, pace adjusted.

 

7 in a row only means something important in May and June. Right now, it's just a team playing well and a nice spot in the schedule.

 

perhaps in the running for contender, but definitely no champion

 

Lol yeah, I was messsing around with it earlier and I couldn't get anything to work that wouldn't require giving up the entire team either.

 

I remember you in that thread. You also did provide a little inside info as well. Have you heard anything?

 

It was just a matter of time until the tweets started rolling in... this thread was on fire yesterday and today.

 

We might still make the playoffs if we made that deal.

 

I think you're missing my point.

Rockets play at a much faster pace and get tons of easy buckets because of it.

A team that slows the ball down and plays more in the half court would probably have a harder time scoring the ball.

Rondo in this offense playing at this pace would probably get the team even more easy shots, not to mention when the pace actually does slow down, he would help in those situations as well.

 

I agree completely. I, however, am against a trade of Parsons for Rondo not because I think Parsons is some sort of superstar, but because I think he's the better fit for this team as constructed and as good as a player Rondo is, I don't see how he fits with Harden. I'd be happy with just bolstering the bench.

 

I don't see that mega-deal going down. A 2 for 7 deal? Just don't see it.
