Iwouldnt trade Rondo for no one right now except for LeBron or Durant, lol. Rondo almost got us to the finals by his self. Had a great playoff run

You need to lay off the green kool-aid, my friend.  If Rondo played any defense whatsoever, we'd be in the finals!
sorry but you don't get named to nba all defensive team by not playing any defense


Chalmers, Holiday, and Teague all averaged more points per game in the playoffs against the Celtics than they did in the regular season.  Who was guarding them?  RONDO!

Do you not understand how rigged the NBA awards are?  If you think Rondo is a top defender, you are either overwhelmingly engulfed in your own homeristic attitude towards the C's, you are have bad eyesight, or you just don't understand the game.  Rondo isn't even close to being a top defender on his own team.  KG, Bradley, Dooling, and Pietrus all played much better defense in the playoffs.  He's lazy.  He takes plays off.  And his worst offense is when he challenges at the three point line pre-dribble, let's  his guy go by him, and then goes for the swipe form behind.  It works 10% of the time.  The other 90%, it's a 5 on 4 play. 



Rondo is one of the best, if not the best, defensive point guard in the league among elite level point guards. 

He does what a good defensive point guard does better than anyone else.  That is being a disruptor. 

If you want to make the claim that he's a terrible defender, you need to compare him to other point guards who play 35+ minutes a game and are in charge of running a team.  It doesn't make sense to compare him to defensive role players and a big who is one of the best defenders in the history of the league.

Word is that Charlotte is shopping the 2nd overall pick. They want multiple picks and a player. And by the way that team is, they are better off trading that #2 pick and getting more picks and players. Be hard to get a free agent to go there. Anyway, U know Danny may make a phone call. Probably do a sign and trade with Jeff Green or Brandon Bass AND #21 and #22 pick would do it. Lets say the Celtics get the #2 pick, who would u draft...
Andre Drummond?
Thomas Robinson?
Bradley Beal?
MKG?
or someone else?

1) Jeff Green has less than zero trade value, he'll sign back here

2) Charlotte can get a much better package for that #2

Then again...Michael Jordan does run that team...

Ignoring the fact that I agree with you on Jeff Green's trade value, can you even sign and trade him?  He's been an unrestricted free agent all year.  I didn't think you were allowed to sign-and-trade players at random (as in, pick up a player and immediately trade him, as opposed to signing someone who'd just been on your team and trading him.)  If you're allowed to do that, I say we sign-and-trade D-Will to LA for Bynum (for example.  Bynum's a head case I'm not sure I want.)  No reason to let the Nets do it.
