Who can say if we couldn't win another title if the trade didn't happen? And if you want to use history, we gave up two up and coming young players for Barkley and how many championships we got from that? BTW, both Drexler and Barkley were better (and healthier) players than Rondo is.
This is Chandler, who was hot all night and now with a chance to win the game: http://on.nba.com/1jfGgl0 I think this is the sort of situation you solve having Rondo. Chandler is good, but when you have to have that one play, like in the link...
Barkley gave us a chance to get past the Sonics and we did that. It was worth it. Malone bear hugs Drexler and Stockton hits the game winner. It was uber close and you know it was. That team had a chance, even with a weak PG. I want to win a championship and Rondo gives us a better shot at beating the Heat and Pacers. That's why I pull the trigger. Let's say we get to the Finals, how do you see us stopping LeBron?
Don't feel bad. My mom hoped that I would grow up to be an auto mechanic. That was her aspirational goal for me. Not even Indian Chief of a reservation. I don't think anyone in the world can match me on that. At least not in the United States.
Oh yeah, I did. They both have one championship and both are very different but both very special players. "He joined Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson as the only other player in NBA history to have 29 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists in a playoff game. With 18 points, 17 rebounds, and 20 assists against the Knicks on March 4, he joined Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, and Jason Kidd as the only players to have at least 15 points, rebounds, and assists in the same game." Both great, both special. Clyde is the better athlete, Rondo smarter and tenacious.

If there's one play you have to make you give it to Howard or Harden, gimme a break. Rondo isnt a superstar, honestly considering he cant shoot I'd rank Parsons over him.
apparently Howard isn't thrilled at the thought of Rondo joining the Rockets according to Peter Vecsey
Not only did he compare them, he's also comparing this 2014 team to that 1995 team. Give me a break, the 95 team wasn't scaring anyone. A shake up was needed. This team is red hot and on a streak, and getting better every month!
Dude, if you are depriving yourself of sleep waiting for Internet rumors during the middle of the night you need to shuffle your priorities. I get as excited about the deadline as anyone but I'm not waiting up all night refreshing clutchfans.
I'm comparing impact. Especially, as to why you make this trade even if it costs you a very solid young player.
