I think Rondo has had the Big 3 making him look good his whole career. Not that he's not good, but I don't think he's as good as he looks. When his environment finally changes, I expect his productivity to take a fall. I don't think he's significantly better than Lowry. Besides that, what pieces do we have that New Orleans would want? If they wanted young but established vets (like Lowry, Martin, Lee, etc) why wouldn't they just stick with Rondo? If they wanted to take a flier on unproven young guys (like Flynn, Thabeet, Hill, Morris, etc), wouldn't they prefer to gamble with high pick guys and guys who were not cast off by their original teams as busts?
