So how could anyone ever consider Rondo a candidate for top-10 status? As Bob Ryan put it, Rondo’s game is sui generis. When he is on his game, relentlessly attacking the rim, drawing fouls, commanding the offense with unrivalled vision, skill, and panache, and being the most disruptive defensive guard of this generation, Rondo is as good as any player in the game. America had the privilege of seeing that Rondo numerous times in the playoffs over the past four seasons, when he cranked out insane triple doubles. But, alas, that Rondo only appears occasionally, perhaps because his body cannot stand the wear and tear of such a physical game. Most of the time Rondo is far less aggressive offensively, and is a top-25 player, not a top-10 player. And that is all the difference in the world when it comes to having a contender. Bottom line: Rondo can be a magnificent #2 guy on a championship contender, but if he is the best player on your team, you are unlikely to be in the inner circle of legitimate contenders.Does anyone else think that Danny Ainge has lost it? Yes in some ways he might be right here but he does know that Rondo is temperamental? Yes? hmmm..And he does know that this will obviously affect our best player?? Yes?? Hmmmm...GM's shouldn't really talk about players like this in the public eye should they? Especially seeing as he has up countless times in the past.Danny Ainge is Absolutely brain dead at times!!
