    For all his wizardry with the ball in his hands and as a defender, Rondo can't shoot. If you only have Harden as a three point threat in the starting five, teams will zone the life out of the Rockets. Also, Harden is not Ray Allen. He creates his own offense by having the ball in his hands. Rondo must have the ball in his hands or you take away his greatest skill, as you so eloquently described. That hinders Harden's effectiveness.

    But continue to say that I'm wrong more than right and that I don't understand how basketball works. You think Rondo walks on water, when he has a clear deficiency in his game, that makes him a bad fit with the current group.

    I was gonna say that Andre Miller was still on the team at that time, but even with Miller gone, don't they still have Nate Robinson?

    If both Garcia and Casspi are still on this team after deadline I will be very disappointed.

    He's currently injured and Lawson is banged up. Brooks will get some time there over the next two months

    Nate done for the year. This gives Brooks playing time and to play for one last contract.

    I keep picturing a chubby Daryl Morey holed up in his office with the windows covered, wearing a stained wife beater, eating old pizza with empty clear bags with traces of crystal meth litering the floor.... with Daryl rocking back and forth with 5-6 phones ringing in front of him... barking like stock market traders.
