    Really? Name 1 player he's drafted that is as good or better than Parsons?

    Who wouldn't make that trade for Kevin Love? Wonder if that was why Morey was walking with Chandler (under hoodie), discussing his future. Fan caught up to them and he got a selfie.

    I want Rondo but I don't ever wanna see Chandler Parsons in a different uniform. It would suck hard.

    That's again yes I understand, morey is in WIN NOW MODE 3rd seed. And I figured bev would be involved, Bradley is hurt and is a free agent next year and wants too much Danny already turned down $8mill a year to give him.

    Another thing about Rondo is that he's an awful free throw shooter.


    Considering how bad the Rockets are in free throw percentage as a team, it wouldn't help at all.

    It's possible. Hayward is holding out for more and he was offered 12M a year I think.

    In defense of Rondo - he must have a hard time being engaged playing for a Celtics team that would rather lose games right now than win games especially since he hasnt been part of a losing Celtics team since his rookie year.

    I am sure his injury is effecting him right now and he may not have 100% confidence in it.

    To me if a deal for Rondo is made - it will pay off this year but it will bring major benefits next season after having some time to gel with Harden and Howard AND he'll have much more confidence in his knee and wont be thinking about how he makes cuts and moves.

    It's beginning to sound like they don't want any part of Lin's contract?

    All I know is that you dont give up Parsons....We all keep talking about adding a 3rd star, but I would believe that a guy doing 17.5/5/4 shooting 50% from the field is pretty close...isnt those the numbers you would want from a third star, or are we just greedy. I would take Rondo for his D and court leadership but at the price of soon to be star Chandler Parsons

    Thanks for the info, as always. Don't let these jerks bother you.

    If you had to take a stab at it, what do you think the Rockets would deal for Rondo? Is there any word on players other than Rondo the Rockets would receive?

    I am salivating at the thought of rondo in a rocket uniform o_o

    i really am worried about his knee and defense though. I remember reading posts at some celtics forums that were at times questioning his defensive effort

    Lin coming off the bench as 6th man to Rondo and Harden is not the worst scenario in the world. In fact could be a great one.

    You think? Yeah I'm pretty sure we'd be right there with OKC. Houston tied the series last year in the playoffs w/o Howard or Rondo!!! Uh, yeah!!!!

    As Clutch said, it's possible but it makes more sense for a guy like Love...not Rondo.

    Adding Rondo and getting rid of Parsons means you now have ONE 3 point shooter (Harden) on a team that shoots the most 3s in the NBA. Would have to be more.
