Someone with Rondo's ear please tell him how beautiful Sacramento is this time of year.

Asik, Lin, Jones, Smith or Beverly, 2014 1st

for

Rondo, Bass, Pressey (since he would likely be waived anyway)


I think this is a reasonable trade.  Not a homerun, but certainly solid value even without Parsons.

  If we're getting back someone who's likely to be a top level player then it's a reasonable trade. Who are we getting that fits the bill?

Why would a team trade for Rondo and give the celts a top level player back in return??

When have you ever seen that happen in basketball?

Guys like Williams, Harden were traded for picks and prospects.  What makes Rondo so much better then them, that we deserve to get back alot more?

   What's the motivation for trading Rondo, aside from your wanting him off the roster? Do we just want to make the team worse? Both of those teams would have been better if they'd kept the stars they traded away. They were pretty much forced to make the trades they did. We don't have to.

The Thunder lost the deal because they traded a very young player (Harden was around 22), but I think you need to examine the Jazz/Brooklyn trade more closely. The Jazz acquired Harris, Favors, 2011 1st rd pick (#3), and the 2013 1st rd pick (#21). With the 3rd pick the Jazz selected Kanter and the other pick was later traded away to Minny. However, the point is that the Jazz would not have been better with Williams (27 at the time of the deal), and we could only pray we could get that type of return for Rondo (who turns 28 in a couple of days).

  Yes, because as far as you can tell the Jazz are *much* better now than they were when Deron was there.

How short sighted of you. Utah tried time and time again to win with Deron and couldn't. Even worse he turned out to be a coach killer, at least in the only circumstances that mattered to management (in Utah with Sloan). They traded him and in a matter of less than five years are poised to turn the corner and become stronger than before. Look at Deron now. If you're the Jazz, do you do that deal again? Yes x1000000

  They traded Deron because he was a coach killer, not because they couldn't win with him. 5 straight playoff trips, 2 conference semis and 1 conference finals. They look to be poised to turn the corner, same as the Cavs or the Bucks or the Kings. Let me know when they have as much success as they did with Deron. I won't wait up.

Tim can you give me your plan as to when we will be good again?

I assume you want to give Rondo the max after next season. Then what? We are not likely get a high draft pick, its 50-50 FA will want to come over to play for us. So what is your plan for us to get better?

  Let me know what players are going to be available either through trade or as FAs leaving their teams over the next 3 years or so and I'll let you know. I'd say we'll draft a couple of players and probably make a couple of trades for now.

We will get nowhere without a plan Tim. You just want to keep Rondo. I don't think thats the best for the org

That's exactly the plan. All his Rondo "gear" becomes obsolete in an instant. That's why part of me doesn't want to see Rondo traded. It's a packaged deal and I don't really want to see Tim go.

hahahaaha is thi for real?

what you mean rondo's not a raging , fake smiling wearing , goofy **** ?

I think they mean Rondo cares too much about winning championships.

[Smokeeye123]

The Rockets are a terrible trade partner... I feel like a trade involving Rondo would only be worth it if you at least got Parsons and on top of that high first rounders, which the Rockets  don't have... any other trades would be a joke, and the idea that Morey wouldn't include Parsons in a deal for Rondo is a sad. Unless something really changes here like a 3rd team gets involved I'll bet this goes nowhere. DA is not a stupid man

Rondo + Green for Asik,Lin, Parsons, 2014 1st , 2016 1st  works for me. I hope it happens

I doubt this much would be sent our way  .....but if Rondo. Has to go .......then I would be good with this haul.

That would be a great trade for Boston.

Follow it up by trading Sully, Humph's expiring and all our 2014 picks for Kevin Love.

Then trade Bradley and picks for Hayward.

Trot out an All-White Guy lineup of C - Asik, PF - Love, SF - Parsons, SG - Hayward, PG - Lin...   Nothing but white guys.

Timberwolves are already have an allwhite lineup haha

If there are talks going on, they have obviously leaked and I wouldn't believe a word of Wyc pulling strings or Howard/Harden weighing in.

From the sound of it, talks are very far apart and these 'rumors' may be an attempt to dislodge the rigid position of the negotiators.  Ainge and Morey likely know each other too well and neither will let the other get over on them.  No chance Rondo goes to Houston.

  It wouldn't be that bad. I'm sure you'd end up making making ridiculous statements about a different player and we'd be right back where we are.

I don't know man, you've had some Rondo nuggets that are really hard to top. Word of  advice, If you do depart to that Clutch City forum, don't start spewing "Rondo is a top 5 player". I know you'll probably ignore that and you're going to hit the ground running instead.

  I guess these childish posts somehow reduce the sting of some argument (or arguments) that you've lost about Rondo, so knock yourself out. Every little victory counts.
