The CD joke...that was precious but when you got 15 stars under your avatar you can do as you like and they have dropped knowledge bombs before so whatever but you just bring nothing to this topic and your not within the rules so stay bent elsewhere since I'd like to keep it a topic with responses for and against that are based on some fact i missed or quote or something. I'm trying to learn. I see that video title as very misleading.
They say when you have to explain a joke it isn't funny, so I'll try to clear this up as quickly as possible.
I wasn't mocking you. I was mocking the whole process. Because of the nature of free agency (often described as a courtship) I was mocking the ambiguities of the process and likening it to the way a awkward teenager who grew up in the 90s (as I was) reacted to their own ambiguous courtships of ladies. And, I thought the notion of Danny Ainge sending Rajon Rondo a Usher heavy mix-cd was HILARIOUS.
If you wanted real substance, like real nitty gritty, Danny Ainge's comments basically say, 'I'm doing everything I can to resign Rondo, and I want him and everyone to know that. I understand that his CBA dad said he couldn't date until after he turns 15, but I'm sayin now, I'm in it, I know other guys are gonna try , cuz Rondo is awesome, but I'm in it.'
And I made that a joke too, about the process, because the politics of it are funny.
You got more stars than some constellations.
You know your basketball cuz I've read your comments. You got the dopest avatar on this site. Having said that I am not an Usher fan..
IMO..
Rondo playing is giving Danny leverage because in a "what have you done for me lately" world his stats matter. They will suffer. He could go lights out but that is unlikely so his risking his body and leverage. He's been a good soldier and provided few soundbites. That's a good thing. He hasn't said anything of concern.
D.A. saying we tried but were justifiably turned down and this guy is gonna get a lot of money and a lot of interest IS concerning.
Rondo's terse long time no see demeanor and questions in response to questions about what Danny said...the whole thing is unnecessary. I am still not sure why Danny brought this up at all.
Some think he is gonna make it happen and this all confirms that. I already supposed that as did most observers that sighted no chatter about Rondo from the C's.
I take this new chatter all different. One person said the team is trying to do whats best for themselves...the team and the player is trying to do what's best for him.
I like when Danny does stuff and I hear about it after.
When Danny uses the press to discuss future possibilities regarding
Current players...I get a bad feeling.
Make no mistake, the Celtics would like to keep Rondo, but Ainge doesn’t like the notion that the team must “build around” Rondo, or any one player for that matter. “I don’t like saying that, whether it’s Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett or Ray Allen,” Ainge said. “And those guys are multiple-time All-Stars. I just don’t like ‘building around’ something. Everybody knows who the best players are on teams, but I just think that gives the players the impression that they’re more important than everybody else on the team and the rookies on the team. I just don’t like how that creates a culture of individualism as opposed to the whole team. [Rondo is] obviously a very important part of our team and has been for years. Some people are going to continue to use [those terms] whether I like it or not. I’m just saying I don’t like to use that.”
“I can’t ever be put in a situation where the sentiment of my relationship with the player prevents me from doing what’s best for the franchise. But that’s the extent of it.”Danny has been talking a lot about Rondo...too much in my humble opinion.
Shut your pie hole Danny...please
