    I agree with you on Dragic. I think he's the perfect fit today. However I do like Rubio's long-term upside more than Dragic.

    So we wish could have traded Parsons for Rondo when we had the chance.

    Was there a player that came out and said Rondo was a bad team mate? I tried looking and all I could find was rumors and "sources" but I can't find one ex team mate or current saying anything. The only thing was Doc Rivers wanted to fight him...meh. Think he would be great and maybe adding Bass would plug up the two holes that Lin and Asik left.

    There's a bit of a concern of Dwight and Rondo's personalities, i dunno, but there might be. Harden would be fine though, he borders on being a social chameleon.

    What's all this about Morey concerned with personalities and chemistry? Everyone tells me that he just seeks to assemble talent and let chemistry take care of itself

    If Harden could get along with Westbrook in OKC there is no way he couldn't get along with Rondo. Dwight seemed to have matured past the first 20 games. He was a true leader the last part of the season and think with another veteran, Rockets could make it far.

    I don't see how trading for Rajon Rondo would be possible. If we had not pulled the trigger so prematurely on Asik and Lin, then we could swing a deal for him now. We have nothing that any team wants. The only way we could pull of a trade for Rondo would be to promise future first rounders for the next 2 to 3 years.

    Also at some point last spring the Celtics wanted to do a deal for Parsons and a future draft pick. If I had known back then that we'd let Parsons go for nothing, then I would've been all for a Parsons & future first round draft pick for Rajon Rondo & players to be announced.

    Huh? Rondo is totally different to Westbrook in personalities, I'd say much more extreme.

    RR and Ray-Ray were at each other's throats, by many accounts. It was supposed to have been a major reason RA left the C's to go to South Beach.

    How would Harden and Rondo work together? The most common complaint I've seen seems to be that each needs the ball to be effective.

    Also didn't hurt that Pierce and Garnett were to darn old and that guy name Lebron played in South Beach.
