It's fun to think that his 5ppg, 4rpg, and 1bpg would have made an enormous difference, but we weren't going anywhere without Rondo. It was worthwhile keeping any potential distractions away from the team while checking out future prospects like Randolph and White...Also, would Birdman even have chosen to sign with us with Miami's interest?
I would have preferred Kenyon Martin anyway, and he was ready and available for us to sign...but again, no Rondo, no championship.
