    Ah, that's right, he's a good rebounder for a PG, and he passes. Those two things are all that he's good at though. He's not a defender and he's worthless on offense unless he's running the offense with the ball in his hands. He'll make a lot of highlights, but that's not what wins games.

    If Rondo stays healthy the Mavs are much better now and I hate the Mavs but keeping it real.

    Why are people so down on Rondo? I don't get it. I hate the Mavs with a burning passion, but they got better. If you don't realize this your blind. Does it make them championship contenders? Maybe or Maybe not. That's to be seen. But they are way better now.

    Do not be BLIND to this fact that they are better now. Now, we gotta really play that team ball that we've played all year. We gotta maximize our guys. It is what it is.

    Rondo will be a difference maker for the Mavs. Terrible trade by Boston Rondo is going to be a GREAT fit with the Mavs

    need another playmaker floor leader so harden doesn't break down before the playoffs and can rest in-game.

    need another rim protector behind dwight. opposition aren't initimidated not to drive to the basket when there is only donuts, jones, black, or dorsey.

    need one or two more players who excel in transition game for easier points, freebies. that second playmaker can be this guy.

    Glad we didn't get Rondo. He is very talented but fits nowhere on this team especially with Harden taking another step. Much rather have Dragic.

    This is a do or die trade for the Mavericks. They did get better but still aren't title favorites by any means. They lost their second best defensive big and a pretty good bench guy in Jae with a couple of picks. Rondo will help their perimeter D but they needed an swingman defender more. It will be funny if Mavs chemistry falls apart or Rondo leaves in the summer.

    I remember learning during my surgery rotation that the best surgeons are the ones that know when not to cut.

    Morey is a great GM because he knows when not to deal.

    Repeat these points to yourself about a billion times and then come back:

    1. He can't shoot at all
    2. He is injury prone
    3. He is a head case

    Seriously... do people not watch the Rockets play and understand what sort of player works with the 2 superstars we already have? :confused: We need spacers (shooters who can slash) to play with Harden and Howard. We need players who can hit their FT's. Rondo can't do ANY OF THAT to any degree of competency. There is a reason that Boston basically gave him away for nothing.

    it is what most point guards do, it is their job

    he is an old fashioned point guard, an unselfish one who sets his team mates up for great looks

    Face palmed himself?

    He paid Chandler Parsons the max in a deal that he is literally untradeable.

    He also just sacrificed two above average defenders for a PG who can't shoot.

    If Tyson Chandler goes down, there team is literally F*^7ed!

    Mavs are going to wind up tanking for a few years.

    1. It is GREAT that we didn't get Rondo. He doesn't work on our team, at all.
    2. What was the first time? If you are referring to Parsons, just stop watching basketball please... We replaced him with Ariza who is way better for our team.
