    That is what I worry about. If Rondo pulls a Kobe "I will show you how to win, you happy go lucky guy" we will be f'ed.

    Parson is my favorite rocket outside the finals teams. I do not want him traded unless it's for a top 10 player.

    I am pretty sure that Morey will run this by Dwight before signing off on the deal.

    Dude, I don't think you could keep the peace if you tried. Not your m.o.

    Do you guys ever wonder, if this really was insider information, don't you think that inside circle would eventually find the source to the leaks and cyberx would be out of a job?
    Haha

    This is all fabricated. He loves to get people talking. He's actually great at it.

    So Parsons is so much a team guy, he's willing to consider trading himself to make the team better?

    I would imagine, given how thin we are at the 3, that we'd be getting more back than just Rondo. Maybe Jeff Green? Or maybe we'd have a 3rd team involved? I can't see Casspi or Garcia starting.

    What??? You mean you don't think the Rockets would trade a perfect fit (Parsons) for the Rockets system, with a restricted contract for a player (Rondo) coming off injury and is about as bad a fit as possible? You don't think the Rockets want to completely change their offensive system? Seriously, come on now!

    What JTR is trying to say here is he considers it better than 50/50 odds the trade won't happen, so he'll be able to say "I told you so." Just playing the odds.

    It would have to be something like that, maybe, but I'd be pretty flipped out if we moved Parsons. He's currently my favorite player. Heck, that may not bode well for him staying a Rocket. Luis Scola was the last guy to fill that spot for me.

    Is this really 38 pages now? Do I need to read the next 30 pages?? (I'm posting this from page 7 or 8, I think!)

    I would just like to point out that 99% of the anti-Rondo crowd will be completely pro-Rondo after he has three or four good games for Houston. Hell, 75% of the anti-Rondo crowd will change their tune after he plays ONE good game for Houston. Such is the nature of sports fandom. Sad, and predictable.

    Difference is rondo would resign here so that makes it a better trading partner for rondo. Kings won't trade that if rondo wont resign

    Just go to the first post and search for all posts by cyberx for updates. The rest are just us giving opinions.

    Exactly.

    Also the people knocking Rondo for his shooting are really off-base with those comments...sorry. He CAN shoot, and is quite efficient at it, too.

    Dude.

    Enough

    We get it, you feel intellectually superior to everyone else. You have made that ABUNDANTLY CLEAR.

    You are now spamming the thread with your posts. Just drop it and move on.

    I agree, it would be stupid to trade Parsons in a Rondo trade.
