So what is Rondo's trade value realistically?

[LarBrd33]

John Wall maybe? Right now Rondo's trade value is plummeting and it is tough for Danny Ainge to sell high for Rondo.

It's tough to sell high on anyone.  If we were selling high, we would have traded Pierce before the Laker game.  His value isn't getting any higher than it was right then... not at his age.

John Wall's trade value is much, much higher.  Wall is only in his second year, he was the #1 overall pick, and he's shown flashes of great all around ability.  He's considered to be supremely talented, and he's a freak athlete.  I think the ceiling for him is still very high and his trade value among point guards is below only established max-contract players like Rose, D-Will, and Westbrook.

Right now I want to kill Rondo and he drives me nuts, BUT...

At worst he's a top 10 PG in the league, a 2-time All Star and a borderline All-Star this year.  (Forget the last two games or the NBA would renege on picking PP for the All-Star game too.) Rondo hasn't played well since he returned and he may be hurting. In any case, let's wait a few games more to see how things play out.  Teams looking for a PG will surely call DA before the trade deadline.

As far as value and pgs go, if the.money matched up I don't see any gm trading Rose, paul, Williams, Westbrook, Curry, Evans, Irving, or Rubio for Rondo. And that's on the conservative side.

Hes in the Parker, jennings, Conley, Wall group.

I dont think rondos value has been as low as out is right now since his 2nd year in the league

Jennings has already stated he wants to move to a big market team. The guys great he had a 55 pt game his rookie year hes constantly putting up numbers and in only his third year. We work out some sort of deal with the bucks and maybe a 3rd team that somehow gets us Jennings and a fairly good reliable non injury prone pf/center (would say bogut if he wasnt injured)then thats a deal you really need to look at it, not cause I want to trade rondo but I think it would help the team out. The important thing is getting someone who can rebound...

Jennings is garbage.
No thanks.

whoa he is not garbage his scoring abilty alone will allow him to have a longer maybe even better career than rondo

if rondo dosent show significant improvement in FT shooting,his jumphot & maybe even his 3 point range how good will rondo be without his speed?

but if you ask me his career will be jason kidd like

i just think its time for both celtics & rondo to move on ,rondo should be with a younger/scoring type team where he can be utilized in his great transtion game & the celtics need a better shooting PG becuase our offence runs so much better with pierce handling the ball allowing much better ball movement kinda like what manu does with the spurs

if you use that logic, then we should move KG, Pierce, and Ray right now to get some "younger scoring types" for him here. why trade our youngest/ most talented asset to get someone in here to help our older players near retirement. We need to rebuild sooner rather than later

[clover]

I think everyone should be available for trade.  No, you don't want to rebuild around an old guy like Pierce, but if you don't see Rondo as a critical centerpiece then you're open to what you can get for him as well.

[CelticsFanNC]

  I don't believe his trade value is high enough to make it worth dealing him away.  So many of these trades being suggested are band aide trades that wont help us get any further this season and will hurt us going forward.  You don't put a band aide on a bullet wound.

  IMO people need to stop focusing on what will make the Big Three viable again and begin thinking about what is best going forward.  Going forward we're probably better off with Rondo here then with any return we might get by dealing him away.

  Next off season this team will look a heck of a lot more appealing to any FA's with Rondo then it will with just about anyone we will get in return mid season IMO.  Pierce still has more left then either KG or Ray so Rondo/Pierce is probably the best bet of attracting a difference maker.

  Rondo is not a franchise player but he is a very nice building block for the future.

Would houston do kyle lowry and a pick for rondo? Or even kyle lowry straight up...


Im pretty high on that kid.

I would LOVE to hear your trade scenarios for trading the big 3 for young scoring types. I think everyone would be PSYCHED...... unfortunately there probably isn't any. But for Rondo there are plenty of trade options. Don't see how thats so hard to understand

[LooseCannon]

Realistically, I think Rondo's trade value is higher in the off-season, when a GM has time to build a roster to fit around Rondo's unique pattern of strengths and weaknesses.

Excellent point

[PAOBoston]

rondo's value isnt as high as it was at the beginning of last year (i dunno if it's b/c of his wrist or what) but he can probably fetch you a young player and maybe a pick.

i think rondo is a little overrated by c's fans. he's still probably a top 10 pg but you'd have to be foolish if you expect to get a star return for him. if there was someway ainge could get someone like jennings, for example, young player with upside still on his rookie deal, i think he'd do it. or at least something along those lines in terms of type of player you get back. heck, i wouldnt be surprised if DA traded rondo for a young wing player. then you have a little more capspace this offseason to go out and sign someone (maybe deron/howard- i know pipe dream).

the next few weeks should be interesting. i honestly dont expect to see the status quo come trade deadline...

[footey]

Rondo is still feeling the effects of a sore wrist, which is hurting his play. Not a good time to talk about his trade value.

[slamdunk]

Rondo for Curry would be a reasonable deal.

[PosImpos]

Rondo for Curry would be a reasonable deal.

Yet Golden State wouldn't do that deal.
