Forget about franchise player. The question is, how many guys in the league are untradeable because you cannot reallt get enough value back? The list probably only included Lebron if we are being strict but one could probably stretch it out to another handful of guys.
Rondo is not on that list. So obviously, the question of trading Rondo always comes back to what we would get for him? No guarantees but would people trade Rondo for a top five pick this year? Not everyone would I suppose many I susptect might.
I think the list is longer than you think and Rondo would be on it. So would the other elite players in the league that are south of 30. Teams rarely trade players like that unless they're under duress.
