Asik, Lin, Jones, Smith or Beverly, 2014 1st
for
Rondo, Bass, Pressey (since he would likely be waived anyway)
I think this is a reasonable trade. Not a homerun, but certainly solid value even without Parsons.
If we're getting back someone who's likely to be a top level player then it's a reasonable trade. Who are we getting that fits the bill?
Why would a team trade for Rondo and give the celts a top level player back in return??
When have you ever seen that happen in basketball?
Guys like Williams, Harden were traded for picks and prospects. What makes Rondo so much better then them, that we deserve to get back alot more?
What's the motivation for trading Rondo, aside from your wanting him off the roster? Do we just want to make the team worse? Both of those teams would have been better if they'd kept the stars they traded away. They were pretty much forced to make the trades they did. We don't have to.
The Thunder lost the deal because they traded a very young player (Harden was around 22), but I think you need to examine the Jazz/Brooklyn trade more closely. The Jazz acquired Harris, Favors, 2011 1st rd pick (#3), and the 2013 1st rd pick (#21). With the 3rd pick the Jazz selected Kanter and the other pick was later traded away to Minny. However, the point is that the Jazz would not have been better with Williams (27 at the time of the deal), and we could only pray we could get that type of return for Rondo (who turns 28 in a couple of days).
Yes, because as far as you can tell the Jazz are *much* better now than they were when Deron was there.
How short sighted of you. Utah tried time and time again to win with Deron and couldn't. Even worse he turned out to be a coach killer, at least in the only circumstances that mattered to management (in Utah with Sloan). They traded him and in a matter of less than five years are poised to turn the corner and become stronger than before. Look at Deron now. If you're the Jazz, do you do that deal again? Yes x1000000
They traded Deron because he was a coach killer, not because they couldn't win with him. 5 straight playoff trips, 2 conference semis and 1 conference finals. They look to be poised to turn the corner, same as the Cavs or the Bucks or the Kings. Let me know when they have as much success as they did with Deron. I won't wait up.
Tim can you give me your plan as to when we will be good again?
I assume you want to give Rondo the max after next season. Then what? We are not likely get a high draft pick, its 50-50 FA will want to come over to play for us. So what is your plan for us to get better?
Let me know what players are going to be available either through trade or as FAs leaving their teams over the next 3 years or so and I'll let you know. I'd say we'll draft a couple of players and probably make a couple of trades for now.
We will get nowhere without a plan Tim. You just want to keep Rondo. I don't think thats the best for the org
Its either, you trade assets/picks and surround rondo with talent (expecially rim protection), or you draft the best and go through the OKC route
You can't do this middle crap that gets you nowhere for a long time. I mean what are the chances a team gets to bring in a big talent like Howard to their team? It's slim.
