I know a lot of people are up for getting rid of Rondo right now. The Lin/Asik trade is big talks right now. To me thats just a horrible return. Drummond on the other hand is a little more interesting, because in a few years that kid could explode. Or bust, who knows.
I know people want to tank to get Wiggins. Okay, I get that. But kinda like to see what he dose in a year of collage first, and see what the other players do as well. Me, Im liking Gordon right now. Between his fundamentals, Griffen like athletics, plays hard,and rebounding, were he boxes out. YES boxes OUT! Out ways his weakness that could improve with just simple hard work.
What does this have to do with Rondo? Don't we already have 50 PF's right now?
Yeah but this comes to our advantage. What does Rondo do best? Pass. How good does he make other players that runs and get in the right possession? Very good.
I mean Wilcox was looking amazing at times because he got to were Rondo could get him the ball for easy buckets.
Now I can't see Stevens playing to tank. I can't see developing players and trying to loose work. Now you can work hard, play hard develop and loose, your just not going to loose as much as the next guy, like the Wizards, or 76's or maybe even Bucks.
So this is were Rondo comes in. He can make the guys developing like AB,Sully,Oylnk,Iverson,maybe even Melo look really good. He can also make players like Wallace,Lee,Bass, Crawford look better and trade able.
Rondo can make these guys very good, so much so other teams will be wanting them. Which their values gos up, and do a couple two for ones, and now you have solid players to start the rebuild. Get a pick around 5-7, maybe even move up a spot with that second pic, who knows.
If you don't have Rondo, these guys will be a little lost, and maybe wont look as good and would be harder to move.
Now it could blow up as well. Maybe Rondo and Stevens don't see eye to eye. And you have to trade him for peanuts. But that also means your probably loosing and could be picking in the top 3.
So keeping Rondo could be either get into the middle of the lottery but develop players for good returns, or it blows up and we get Wiggins.
