Yahoo Sports rumor: SAC offered IT, McLemore, 2 picks for Rondo

[Tr1boy]

The kings gm stated there has been no trade talks involving BM.

How do these guys make up these rumors?

I guess the only reliable guy out there is woj and the only team that wants rondo are the knicks

Why are journalists the only ones who are capable of submitting falsehoods to the general public?

what? you go off topic alot.

Stay in school.

I'll rephrase: Do you think it's possible that the King's GM might have lied when he said he hadn't talked to anyone about McLemore?

Learn how to communicate.

And no, GM's don't have time for that crap.  Someone is making it up.  If a GM made it up, its also bad morale for his players that are involved in the rumor

If it is bad for the morale of players to know they are being discussed in trade talks, wouldn't it make sense for a GM to lie and say that there are no trade talks to prevent the players from being negatively affected?

Well if GMs do that, i don't know how they live with themselves.

[hpantazo]

To put it as bluntly as possible:

Automatically assuming that a GM isn't lying, and that instead, the journalist (who's job security depends largely on them not just making things up) must be making things up  seems very stupid to me.

If you include one of your players in the rumor, you are messing with their head.  Why would you want to do that?

smoke signals. GMs do it all the time, and I'm sure they all tell their players beforehand not to pay attention to what they hear in the media, they are not on the block

Danny is lost imo

We all read that he went to watch parker a few weeks ago. And he is not going to trade Rondo unless he gets overpaid. 

Why is he teasing himself then visiting Parker when he will have little to no chance to draft him?

If he wants to try to get him, he needs to clear the roster and thats includes Green, Rondo etc.. If he wants to go to the playoffs, he should concentrate on adding some more players.   He is stuck in the grey area

 I disagree with every statement in this post. I can't believe the conclusions you've jumped to regarding Ainge based off of trade rumors, many of which are likely completely made up.

We are probably  going to get crushed in March, and have a decent shot at getting Parker.

Yep and everyone here loves it! They fail to see the big picture that Rondo being traded would be the best thing for the long term health of the franchise

According to Bballtim, when Rondo gets healthy soon, we are going to start winning.   We are what, only 3 games away from 8th place.

March is just brutal. We'll know better Thursday of course, but I'm banking on a trade that hurts the team short term and torpedoes the season, more so.

That depends on what's coming back Boston's way. Trading Rondo for the sake of cratering out this season would be folly.

how is that brutal??

we play the bulls and raptors 4 times.  knicks, suns and nets twice. It won't be easy, but we could win all of these games.

All of those teams except for the Knicks are significantly better than us, and will be playing with a sense of urgency. We might be starting Wallace and Olynyk by then.

Oh, and you forgot to mention Golden State, the Heat, Mavericks, and two games against Indy.

All of those teams will be fighting for playoff spots. Where we probably wont be trying as hard and the players will be starting to plan their summer vacations because DA would leave brochures in everyone's lockers for every game.

I doubt it. Stevens is not ml carr. He coaches to win

[bleedGREENdon]

Off that remaining schedule we'll be lucky to win 6-7 games the rest of the season, if we get got 10 more. If we make a trade maybe 3-4.

Other teams from 6-11 dont have it easy either. We are only 4 games away from 8th
