I don't want to see Rajon Rondo back here. He did his time in BOS, contributed as a key player in attempted title runs, and won a Banner.
I wouldn't want him back here with this fickle fan base.
Some here totally discount what he did here, make up baseless reasons to undercut his time in BOS, ridicule those that support him.
He did his time here. Time to move on.
I wish him well wherever he lands. WHEREVER he lands.
But don't come back here. He deserves better.
He deserves better? Are you kidding me? He got payed millions of dollars to play a game. He didn't deserve anything , but for years boston fans cheared for him at every turn I don't feel bad at all that people gave him grief as he has basically destroyed the last two teams he's played for.
I loved rondo. I thought he would put Dallas on his back in the playoffs. I hope he finds success in the res of his career but to say he deserves better? Not a chance.
No, not kidding you at all.
Destroyed who? I thought Basketball was a TEAM sport. Danny got a TE, Jae Crowder and a draft pick from DAL for the shell of Rajon (at the moment). He is to be commended for that.
When Rajon Rondo had a competitive TEAM around him - he competed. Danny Ainge attempted to acquire such pieces, but KLove chose to go to CLE.
This has been discussed ad infinitum.
Danny Ainge probably realized this sooner than many of us that after the KLove Train passed us, this "current" team would not suit Rondo.
As for BOS fans cheering his every turn? I disagree. He and Antoine Walker have got to be the most divisive players ever to wear Green, from what I've observed Fan-base wise.
And you thought Rajon Rondo was going to put DAL on his back? He'd need a Godzilla-sized back for that, and the ogre called Rick Carlylse would not fit on it.
Rajon's back would be broken by Chandler Parson's injury, Dirk Nowitski's strangely inconsistent J nowadays, Tyson's age, their depleted bench and the fact that even when healthy only he and Tyson were known defenders.
It would also be broken by the possibility that Rajon Rondo may NEVER return to his former glory....he laid much of his body on the floor in BOS already.
20 years from now, he/we may very well say that his best years were in BOSTON, with not only the most successful team in NBA history, but one of the most successful sports franchises EVER.
That is something to hang your hat on.
But no - don't come around BOS no more, Rondo.
