my god... the way some of you talk about Rondo, you'd think he was better than Magic Johnson or something. Good lord.
He's a top 6 point guard. I love him. He's fantastic. Celtics love him. He's not going anywhere.
Rose, Deron and Chris Paul are better. If I could add one of those guys to my team, I'd do it. The Nets gave up a boatload of assets just to rent Deron for a couple seasons and you're telling me you wouldn't be interested in adding him for free?
I appreciate the loyalty to the Green, but all my tommy points are going to soap07 for talkin sense.
First of all, starting with the hyperbole that anyone is saying that Rondo is better than Magic Johnson is an underhanded way to begin an argument. Nobody is saying that. I will treat your arguments with enough respect to realize that you are not saying that Deron Williams is better than Magic Johnson.
All some of are saying is that the difference in talent level and team impact between Rajon Rondo and Deron Williams is not as large as you may believe, if it exists as all.
That's a debatable point. If you disagree, feel free to debate it. Your condescending attitude and your apparent belief that anyone who disagrees with you is completely ignorant about what constitutes basketball talent shows an incredible arrogance.
You haven't really given any compelling arguments to back up your thesis. Soap07 is doing a much better job of trying to back up his arguments. Yours seems to consist primarily of; "everybody knows it, and I say it, therefore it's true, and if you don't see it, you are a fool."
Keep arguing your point. I have no problem with that, but please stop with the dismissive attitude towards anyone who disagrees with you. It's become a pattern with you, and I challenge you to be able to post your ideas here in a civil and respectful matter.
