I'd personally donate a kidney if it would seal the deal.

Rondo for Griffin...straight up?

No thanks..

I suspect Griffin is going to turn out to be overrated.  A highlight machine yes, but ultimately more Vince Carter than anything.

He averaged 22pts 12rebs 4asts on 50% shooting and had a per of +25 as a ROOKIE PF. That's a pretty [dang] productive highlight machine. Not to mention how ruthless he is as a competitor on the floor he's no Vince Carter. By the numbers he was probably the second best PF in the league after Dirk, if not the best. Did I mention he was a ROOKIE!!!

Yes. Beyond the talent, Griffin is also easier to root for due to personality.

I disagree with this... I find Rondo's hustle and demeanor easy to root for, especially after what Rondo did last year after basically breaking his elbow against the Heat.
