    Rondo is a far worse shooter than Lin.

    Raja Rondo is defiantly an upgrade. they can try! I got no issues about about it. Best place for Lin to land in for a rebuilding team. Plus all his Havard homies will be happy.

    We got DWIGHT AND HARDEN. I trust Moreys' discretion regarding all other player movements. Let the chips fall where they may. CAN'T WAIT FOR OCTOBER OMG.

    don't forget the turnovers and a stagnant offense for periods. Don't forget selfish basketball at the end of games where Harden wanted to be the man when there were triple teams on Harden

    Lin doesn't have an ego, Rondo does. Is a big question mark how Rondo would mesh with DH and Harden. I take Lin as the primary 'glue' for this team over Rondo.

    Rondo is on a reasonable contract and he flat out shows up in the playoffs. He has a cold-blooded attitude and that would be great for a team of nice guys. It's worth a gamble, IMO.

    Lin lives for the 4th quarter. The kid is clutch.

    Wherever he goes his 3 point is sure to improve.

    Let's get Chauncey....

    Vet backup that does well with pick and roll/ great leader/ great finisher/ great shooter.


    My boy CJ Watson was picked up too fast. He would have been great for this team.

    Personally, I wish we could keep Asik. The best teams have weapons in the starting lineup and on the bench.

    I know he wants to start but Omer is such a quality big at his age that I would hate to give him up to Josh Smith. I would want another "big" defender...ZaZa or something.

    I'm a bit indifferent to Lin staying or going. His decision making is atrocious at times and I think he is overrated offensively, and a liability defensively. Still, he's coachable and wants to do well.

    Jarret Jack would be nice, but that's not happening.

    Keeping Lin makes a lot of sense. Someone who can lob it to Howard all day like he did with Tyson Chandler in NY.

    Trade deadline is just after the All-Star game. Good luck with your finger and PayPal thingy.
