OKC needs to offer Ibaka and Harden for Rondo. Personally I'd laugh in their face. I wouldn't trade Rondo for anyone but Lebron or Durant but I could see why they would want to do this. Westbrook can't be guarded but his decision making is head scratching at times. OKC will have a hard time re-signing both Ibaka and Harden so why not trade them both to get a top 10-15 player and the smartest PG in the game. Move Westbrook to SG. Yes the backcourt would be small but it would still be the best backcourt in the NBA. Rondo and Westbrook would be a nightmare and we haven't even gotten to Durant yet. Imagine, either Rondo or Westbrook would be the third best player on the team. Heat won the series but they hardly shut down Durant and Westbrook. They also had no answer for Rondo. Westbrook and Durant had to work so hard for their shots in this series...Rondo changes all that instantly. As I said no way I'd trade Rondo but OKC is left searching for answers and Rondo is the answer. From the Celtics perspective, Harden and Ibaka hits free agency the same year Pierce comes off the books. The next two years the Cs would have KG, Ibaka, Pierce, Harden, and Avery...hmmm actually that's not bad. Still wouldn't do it though.

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
If they're going to trade for anyone it should be Howard.

They're too perimeter oriented offensively and they're defense was a joke this series.

Howard would bring a more balanced offense and better defense.
