Donny Marshall: Celts still considering trading Rondo (merged)

[Celtics4ever]

Nash for Rondo?  Are we doing our rebuild for a nursing home team?

[BballTim]

You can bet if by March that things are looking real dodgy, then it's very possible he'll get traded.

I would take a combo of Nash + Gortat
or Bynum+picks for Rondo.

Trouble is that people might think Danny is desperate to give the big 3 one last shot at a title and try and send him a thinner piece of pie than normal. I think Danny is too smart and proud for that though.

Some if you guys crack me up.  I got news for you.  Bynum is worth MORE than Rondo.  Potentially a lot more.

  Potentially being the key word. Trade for the guy and three years from now you'll be telling all of us that as soon as he has a healthy season we'll see what a great player he is.

I think the "surprised" part would be people being surprised that Donny Marshall actually guessed right about something.

So, if Donny Marshall suggested that Rondo was going to be traded either out to the Western Conference or in the East, you wouldn't rule out the NBA magically sprouting a Southern Conference for Rondo to be traded to just to make Marshall wrong?

The only players (out west) I'd like to be traded for ROndo:
Tyreke, Curry + David Lee, Eric Gordon + pick, Harden + pick, Kevin Love, Felton + Batum, Lamarcus Aldridge, Devin Harris + Al Jefferson..

hey, I would not trade Rondo for Bynum.  I agree that the injury and attitude issues are a major concern.  But NBA GMs are interested in potential and worth relative to other players at the position, and by that measure Bynum is worth a LOT more.

nash is actually very intresting to me i mean he led the league in assist last year on that phx team ,imagine with our team? hmmm now you guys have me thinking lol

yes,Bynum is potentially worth a lot more than Rondo.
Key word being potentially- as you suggest. His injury status is the question mark and that's the risk involved in taking him on- the main reason why the Magic haven't jumped at a chance to take Bynum from the Lakers in a Howard deal.
Bynum costs huge money and I would love him here.
You don't think the Lakers would drool at a line up of Gasol+Kobe+Rondo getting them the ball? Rondo would even make Artest look better because he'd get twice as many looks.

And don't worry, I'm not offended. You obviously haven't watched the Celtics for very long if you're the same guy writing off a second year player like that after 2 pre season games and almost zero time last year.

Donny Marshall is an idiot.

[gift]

something involving houston?

[Fafnir]

I like the part where Donny Marshall pretends he has sources.

Haha yeah, although I don't think it's wrong to say that Danny is probably still looking at his options, I don't believe for a moment that Donny has any kind of inside info.

As for some place warm . . . Phoenix anyone?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I wouldn't be shocked if you were his source.

[winsomme]

the only player that makes even a tiny bit of sense is Tyreke Evans because we know Danny was after him when that draft went down.

I definitely prefer Rondo over him.

I'm pretty sure Gordon was a part of the CP3 deal

Nash shoots a high fg%, shoots well from the outside and mid-range game as well, and shoots 90% at the charity stripe. He's been through tough playoffs, and is battle-tested. Imagine at the end of close games being able to choose between Ray and Nash as to who gets to shoot free throws.


And I erased the previous poster's thoughts, so I shall appear in a green box with my words I guess...

Trading Rondo is a fools errand...He is one of the best pg's in the league..it will be very soon after he is gone that the C's realze they will be hurting. He is a floor general, passes to people where they are good with it..moves well, and his shooting is coming on even stronger. He needs some able youth around him to complement his up tempo game. AND..he needs someone to rebound, so he isn't the teams # 1 rebounder. Bass is looking good for that and more. They do have some young guys now that look able to run, and cover a strong position.
