Trade Idea: Rondo for Evan Turner

[Bahku]

Let's see ... I can't remember, how many triple-doubles, All-Defensive Team placements, and championship rings does Turner have?

And help me out, which one of them has averaged 11.9 PTs, 11.7 ASTs, 4.8 RBs, and over 36 minutes per game? (My memory fails me at the moment).

And which player has proven himself a game and playoff winner over-and-over, and not just flashes of greatness? I know it's one of them, I just can't remember which.

* Sigh *

Man, I really just do not understand the amount of "Trade Rondo" threads ... if the guy isn't playing 110% of almost every other PG's game, it must be time to trade him, right?

I mean, for Evan Turner? Straight up? Seriously?!?

Wow.

I was being facetious because Turner is owning Rondo tonight

Pretty gutsy to say something like that before the game is over...sometimes leaves you with egg on your face...

Mark my words: Monday this will seem silly. That's how Turner rolls. No beef with trading Rondo in the right package, but not for Turner.

Rondo for Turner joke is nonsense... but on the topic of Evan Turner:

I predicted Turner would have a good game.  Problem, in all seriousness, is Avery Bradley.  Our starting shooting guard is 6'2 and 180 pounds.  Evan Turner is 6'7 and 205 pounds.  The dude has 5 inches on Bradley.  I noticed for most of the game Rondo was stuck defending Turner (with Bradley on the point guard).   Turner has 6 inches on Rondo.  In other words, he should be able to get his shot off any time he wants.  It will probably be a small issue for the rest of the series (and the rest of Bradley's career, really... it's what has held Jason Terry back too... midget shooting guards have a disadvantage)... but ultimately we will probably make short work of Philly regardless.

The size issue was one of the main reasons I started getting really nervous about the Atlanta series.  As soon as Horford came back, it pushed Joe Johnson to his natural position (SG) where Johnson is a 6'7 240 pound dude.  Luckily, Johnson was just playing like garbage and they never got a chance to utilize the size advantae.

I was thinking earlier today that Moe Harkless could probably step in and guard big 2s, as well as 3s and some small 4s.

Rondo just basically told David Aldridge to Stick It.

that's why i love Rondo - that's why he is a Celtic.

#9 in the Rafters One Day !!!!!!

Yes he did! As soon as Aldridge said "old"....Rondo cut him off. Loved it....absolutely loved Rondo's reaction.
