If rondo comes back as rondo, do we trade him?

Official Do we trade rondo or keep him Thread.

Rondo as we all know it will be back the very latest the next two weeks. Possibly this week.
Yes there will be minute constrictions, but let's say rondo comes back and wins us about 4-5 games in a row and is playing like the too 3 PG rondo is, we obviously would not beat Indiana or Miami in the playoffs, and the goal is to get the lottery not the playoffs

What are some trade possibilities you guys are thinking if? Any ideas as of what Danny is thinking? Do we keep Rondo?  Let's debate all the way till rondo gets traded or kept !!

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

No. RR is the future!

[LooseCannon]

Let's debate all the way till rondo gets traded or kept !!

So, are you ending the debate at the trade deadline or will it continue until he is a free agent?

[BudweiserCeltic]

Ah, at least this is the official trade Rondo thread.

[Mazingerz]

Err No.

Rondo is the MAN in Boston now.

  No, he got it right. Whether it's days, weeks or 10 years the debate will continue as long as he's on the team.

OFFICIAL DO WE TRADE RONDO THREAD !!!!

[Bahku]

Um, why would you trade one of the best PG's and passers in the entire NBA? I've seen hundreds of rationalizations for that, and NONE of them balance out or even come close, IMO. Unless it's part of some incredible blockbuster trade to bring a true superstar with a future to Boston, I see nothing that would warrant even considering it.

  I don't think that getting rid of a top 3 point guard in order to get a better draft pick is a good move.

If my soul were born into Rondo's body, I would have done at least one thing differently.

Granted, not everyone can hit his jumpshots with a guy hovering over him. I understand that.

On the other hand, when one's at the FT line, there's no reason why one can't hit one's shots, if he practices free throws and works with a hypnotist (on eliminating hesitation and 2nd guessing oneself), on a regular basis. This is exactly what I would have done, throughout my career.

In effect, I would encourage opponents, to run a Hack-A-Rondo on me and then, I'd scorch 'em at at the free throw line.

Unfortunately, Rondo does not have the above, as a secret weapon and thus, he's a bit limited in his overall offensive effectiveness without a regular scorer on his squad.

yet another worthless Rondo thread. there's 2 or 3 a day now.

[LarBrd33]

It's likely.   I say 50/50, but it's probably actually 70/30.  Judging by the moves Ainge has made and the fact this team is bottom 3 without him / potentially accidental playoff fodder with him... I say it's an inevitability.

We have a couple free roster spots, I think.  My guess is we'd get a couple expiring contracts and a few young assets/picks.  Expect us to dump Wallace and Bass at the same time.

No, the goal is NOT to get into the lottery. The goal is to accumulate talent.

Unfortunately, when people say 'top 3' PG, it is usually an empty statement as they allow for like 10 PGs to be considered top 3.

You trade him because you, as the GM, believe it would make the team better, either from a roster standpoint or a bookkeeping standpoint.

The same reason you, as the GM, trade anyone else. That's why.
