    I agree. As he gets in better game shape, he will be even better for us come playoff time!

    Hmm... It sounds as if he is trying to kiss Rondo's ass, but then when you consider the timing of the statement he clearly was interested in trading Rondo for the right haul. A very ambivalent message from Ainge.

    Is his English really this bad or is it just a schtick?

    Ainge and Morey talked I am sure. The 'foundation' of the trade was probably laid. They drew their lines in the sand on the terms. They walked away.....

    Chances are they come back to the table in the summer, and by then, the terms might be a bit different with Rondo being 1 year closer to leaving.

    To some degree -- chemistry certainly factors into the championship equation. This team is happy & unified, and Dwight appears to have turned a corner this month. No "homerun" deals materialized, so Morey & crew elected to keep the current core in tact.

    Neither, just throwing a wild guess on this thread, everyone's been doing it, and I didn't want to be left out.

    Lol yeah you guys sure did. Now watch him walk away for NOTHING. Should have taken the best offer on table and not try to call Morey's bluff.

    nothing like a cyberx thread to kill some time. Keep em coming and thanks for putting up with the assholes that abound here.

    now how about a thread from that guy who correctly predicted 20 (ish) Rockets games ? daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

    Exactly. He loses leverage now b/c Rondo is leaving Boston after next season.

    Lol I meant docrocket. He always post in some cryptic broken English language. Wish he was just straight forward like cyberx. I get headaches trying to decipher it all lol

    If it was the Denver deal he doesn't need to do the same cryptics bs. Jesus Christ. Just come out and say it or do better than forcing creativity. That was a put off.
