Every teammate loves Rondo, call him their leader and somehow he's a headcase who is bad for the locker room.  Chris Paul can't even keep a couple of young guys in check, and it's everybody else's fault but his.  Don't you just love media double standards...  I wonder how many trade Chris Paul threads they have over in Lob city.

Totally agree. Rondo would be called a cancer if it was reported that some players were annoyed with him. I respect CP3's game, but I don't care for him because he does the MOST flopping on court and complaining.

not many I would imagine.    Clippers with out Paul have shown how turrible they are against most teams. 

Paul is a diva and a bit of a horses behind  , but the guy can make a bunch of not so great NBA players into a contender .

Much as I dislike the diva CP3  , I would want him as my first choice as a point man. 

I want CP3 to stay on Clips long as possible ......   CP3 on LAKERS or HEAT is a sure sign of doom for everybody else.

Except he's never done that...he's never been on a legit contender until this years loaded clippers team that's falling apart and ultimately going nowhere

  Paul's a great player but I don't think he's ever made any team he's played for contenders.

I really can't stress enough how utterly UNDERRATED Blake Griffin is. People bash him way too often.

I bash him because I am biased against players who are good on offense but bad on defense.

So steve nash has been an ordinary player for 17 years... 2 mvp statues prove you wrong....

Or it proves the people who hand out MVP awards are wrong.

DJ has actually improved his offensive game since last year. and its clear to see that. He could actually be one of the good C's in this league if he continues to do so. Shoot 150 free throws a day to improve. get to 65-70% and they wont foul him nearly as much

I think he might be the sort of player who is just never going to get better at free throws, no matter how much he practices.

Clips are contenders right now - in that 2nd tier with NY, Indy, and Memphis.  Not a favorite but they're up there.

To me KG was the best player in the league during that period.  Won in 04, could have in 05 and 06 too.  He was carrying his team as well so not really too much of an argument against it.

to say that is real tricky. he's only been on 2 teams his entire career, and the players who go from team to team to team arent usually the ones that make huge impacts. there are a few exceptions (but i suppose u can u can ray allen as one).

It's not fair because the most talented player he played with before the Clips was David West.

Chris Paul, locker room cancer, I love it.

Seriously, Rondo gets called out as all kinds of things, from difficult personality to team detriment.  Yet here we have Paul, who is known for being very similar to Rondo in their demanding nature, and yet only one of them is viewed as a problem.

Get real folks, neither is a problem.  Star players are demanding, that is what makes them winners.  MJ and Larry were two of the biggest "jerks" ever.  Nobody cared, they won titles.
