    LMAO how do you know Rondo wouldn't work on this team?

    Let me guess...

    He can't shoot
    He controls the ball


    Yep he can't fit with this team at all.:rolleyes:

    People keep saying rondo doesn't fit our offense because he can't shoot the 3, I wouldn't put much trust in that kind of offense winning a championship, if so warriors should be favorites to win the west right ?

    I agree.

    Why does everyone have to be able to shoot the three? Rondo can run the floor, set an uptempo pace, find shooters, find our better athletes attacking the basket, and play great defense. He would be an absolutely enormous improvement to the team.

    One guy in another thread said Bev is basically the same player as Rondo just much cheaper LMAO!

    I didn't know Bev was a elite passer and can run a NBA team.

    He is a star but i dont think a the point guard position is a need for the Rockets. Hardens thing is taking the ball to the paint and picking up fouls. Why would i want Rondo taking away from that. With our current pgs they have the double threat of the 3 and driving to the paint. Also Tjones is really the only power forward that works right now and he is contributing alot. We should really be trading for picks and assets at this point to gear up for a superstar in 2015 (Kevin Love was born for Morey).

    But your right i don't really know if it will work but at this point neither do you.

    Yep.


    Asik/Lin/Jones/1rd would be our best most realistic offer for Rondo/fillers.

    Yeah if 3s go cold we are ****ed in a series, harden can get to rim if he is getting the calls & Howard is not a reliable threat down low but rondo would get them both better looks than they do currently

    perimeter d would be handled, his midrange game and ability to get to the rim draws a lot of attention, but he is PROVEN to knock down the 3 In playoffs here is his 44points vs heat http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ndyfsS0bFK8

    why would the Celtics want Asik?

    he just helps them get a worse draft pick this year

    One game does provide sufficient proof of being able to knock down the three. If Harden is taking it to the he needs the ball in his hands thus rendering Rondo useless.

    Kevin Love can't even lead his team to the playoffs. He is no damn superstar!

    Lebron
    Durant
    George
    Paul

    Those are currently the only superstars in the NBA.


    Love is a allstar
    Harden is a allstar
    Dwight is a allstar

    He still injury. And the main question is his attitude and can he take the ball from harden and run the offense.

    PGs don't impact the game nearly as much as bigs do. If we're trading the farm away I would do it for a big.

    It seems like you are very knowledgeable when you talk about the NBA :rolleyes:
    Harden led his team to the playoff last year
    Howard led his team to the NBA finals
