Chad Ford Mock Draft 11 (6/4): Celtics select Marcus Smart

[green147]

Rondo wants to win "right now". He likes the spotlight and fashion and GQ internships. This is the first offseason he didn't leave boston immediately after the season, and it's only because his kids are in school.

You want to roll your dice like the Knicks are doing with Carmelo, and probably be left high and dry for a guy who joins a super team?

He's never said one thing about wanting to leave Boston. He wants to win. What good player doesn't? The theory that him interning with GQ is a sign that he wants to leave Boston is pretty far-fetched.

And he wants to be a free agent, and is looking forward to "being recruited, like college."

Smart is good enough that he could be better than Rondo as a rookie, bringing more fire every single night too.

Smart and McDermott would be sweet.

  If Smart's good enough that he could be better than Rondo as a rookie then there's no reason to talk about him as there's no chance he'll be there at 6. The only thing that might stand between Smart and the HOF is injuries.

He probably won't be available at 6, but Rondo isn't a hall of fame player. He had a couple\few great playoff series, but mostly rode on the back of 3 Hall of Famers, padding his rebounding and assist and steals stats along the way.

Look what happened two seasons ago after Ray Allen left, and Doc was declaring Rondo the leader of the team. Celtics were below mediocre, and were on a 6 game losing streak when Rondo went down with the knee injury.
