I still would if NJ wanted to do that. Rondo is very very good, but we should all know by now that jumper will never be much better than it is now. It's too bad since fundamentally it isn't that bad of a shot. Just no confidence. Deron does everything Rondo does, but is also a terrific shooter. He would be a great addition to the team both now and when we lose the big three. That being said, Rondo's contract is a lot nicer than what we'd have to give Williams.

  Deron does everything Rondo does, but he doesn't do most of it as well as Rondo. It's kind of like saying Boozer does everything KG does and he's a better low post threat. And we know that Rondo's jumper will never improve based on his taking (and making) more outside shots this year?
