Did Doc choose CP3 over Rondo?

To me, that's a wash...

Or maybe Doc is human and chose a stable situation over seeing the team he has battled with torn up and scattered.

That's not remotely close to a wash.

This. Simple enough. Doc rebuilt the Celtics once, he did not want to do it again.

Yup.

Doc knew Danny had plans to tear down the team, as evidenced by the fact the initial discussions with LAC included KG going to LA.

Doc chose a team that was trying to win-right-now, over a rebuild.  The CP3 vs Rondo aspect likely had nothing to do with it.

this is the rub...i'm going out on a limb here by assuming that you mean that the Clippers supporting cast is much better...so...how can people then turn around and say that we are re-building around a core of Green/AB/Sully...you can't have it both ways...they can't be bad in comparison to the Clippers supporting cast and good in a re-build at the same time...it's either one or the other...

if the core is Green/AB/Sully..it's kinda of like saying our core is not good when compared to other team's cores but our core is good enough to re-build on...that does not breed confidence in a re-build...

Doc rebuilt the Celtics is a bit...I dunno?...not true.

No. Those are not the only 2 options.

The Clips supporting cast is better (you failed to list quite a few of them) and Griffin is better than anyone left on our team, probably including Rondo.

I fail to see how your re-building comment is relevant. If the supporting cast was that good, we wouldn't have to worry about rebuilding. We would just compete now.

We are rebuilding around the guys we draft in the next few seasons and probably Rondo.

Yes.  /thread

Well, maybe Paul and the golf courses.

The Clippers cast and our cast is in NO WAY a wash. If you were to poll 10 NBA GMs as to which players they wish they would rather have, the Clipper players get picked in a heartbeat 10 out of 10 times.

Blake Griffin alone is more talented than Green, Bradley and Sully.

IMO, Green/Sully/Bradley are being VASTLY overrated.

The three of them are role players.

Blake is a franchise player.

But, I never said he rebuilt the team.  I said he went to battle with them every year and bonded with them....and he is human.   Although may fans appear not to care who wears the green....my mind is not so toughened to be ready to accept the scorched earth policy yet.

Doc said after the move, that he has a very good relationship with Rondo. I choose to believe that over some rumor, since it was something he didn't have to say. And since CP3 seems like quite a handful in his own way, I just don't see it. 

[LooseCannon]

Did Doc choose a place where he would have power over personnel decisions on a contender over a rebuilding phase with Danny Ainge constantly bugging him about who he should and shouldn't play?

It could be as simple as Doc hating that Ainge signed Darko and wouldn't sign Kenyon Martin.

[gar]

Paul > Rondo
Bledsoe > Bradley
Griffin > Green
Jordan < Sully (both good at what they do, both have limitations - I prefer Sully)

You forgot:
Billips (big factor)
Jamal Crawford
Willie Green
C. Butler

All skilled Vets who you can rely on to win down the stretch.  Also add Reggie Bullock and his familiarity with Summers from Georgetown and he has some youth to work with.

Not even close

That's how I see it, and I'm guessing that's how Rondo will see it.

I think that's a good thing.  I don't think there's anything wrong with adding another chip to his shoulders.
