Don't see Denver doing that without a couple first rounders going their way. I also do not see the logic in bringing in Gallo with Green here.
This.
People saying Boston would be the team to say no? Denver says no in a heartbeat.
And did somebody actually say Gerald Wallace is better than Danillo Gallinari? Wow...
Vehemently disagree. You win with stars, not 7-8 border line guys. The Nuggets themselves are proof of this.
Rondo is a top 20 or do NBA player, and is a top 5 player when the playoffs begin. Celts would never do this trade. Never. It's a trade for a team that wants to win 40-45 games and not compete at all for a title.
I like me some Rondo, but he's not a top 5 NBA player when playoffs begin. He's comfortably in the top 4 at his
position in the playoffs (CP3, Parker, Rose, Rondo) and people arguing him to be #4 in that group wouldn't be completely off base. I'd say he's somewhere in the top 15.
Lawson is a very good player and a player who has done well in the past 2 postseasons. Gallo is also a very good player. The type of player who would be a fantastic 3rd option on a contending team. Gerald Wallace is a player and contract that you'd have to pay to get rid of.
Like someone else mentioned, Denver would say no.
