Rondo sending mixed signals. She doesn't think he knows yet if he wants to stay.

This scares me

But yea, I would take Parker 1st as well, Embiid 2nd

Half of me would like to see Rondo actually improve to the level that most of you believe he's already reached, and the other half would get a huge laugh out of the Jonestown-like reaction here if he walked or was traded.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

So does Ainge not have any interest in Wiggins? We've heard Parker, Embiid, and now Exum. Watch we pick Wiggins lol

At this point after all the rumors, I can't imagine too many people being surprised if Rondo is eventually traded.

As for whether people will be happy with the return, some people will be and others won't be, as is usually the case.

Yeah, it looks like the writing is on the wall. Having Rondo walk for nothing would be bad, but paying him max money would be far worse.

Yup. No way Rondo is a max player.

From what ive been told everything Ainge does or says is a smokescreen and is the opposite of what he really thinks

Danny was in love with Yi in 2007, too.

And we all know how that worked out.

Let's hope this is misdirection. I don't care for Exum's game.

I disagree. In love with durants game and yi as one of the options to draft 5th. Ultimately if the ray allen trade didnt go through the team still drafts jeff green imo

I don't think even Rondo supporters (which I consider myself one) would say he's a max player.  I could see him getting a deal worth 2 million more a year for 4 years but not a max deal (unless his FT shooting and outside shot continues to improve where he's a legit 20+ a game scorer)

My understanding is Stevens would have no issue playing two point guards at the same time, so I don't think Exum is mutually exclusive with Rondo.  Exum might make the departure of Bradley more likely than anything else, but you could also split 96 minutes pretty well between the three of them. 

I also don't think the C's would take Exum #1 overall, for those bemoaning the neglect of Embiid or Parker.  The C's are not currently favored for a top 3 pick, so it'd behoove Danny to know what the other options are.

Exum is more of a combo guard sort of like a Russel Westbrook.. Im not sure why everyone on the board is hating on him he is one of the smoothest & sleekiest players behind only Wiggins.. IMO he is a lock in the top 4 picks

We also heard Danny "loved" Giannis Antentokoumpo.  Didn't end up taking him though.

After Antetokoumpo I don;t think Ainge will pass on international prospects so easy.

I don't think Danny ever passes on any prospects "easily".  He just liked Olynyk better for some reason.  Probably because Giannis was so raw, and had so little film.  It is really hard to project someone like that.

Big guard. Pogo stick body. Can't shoot. Will be a tough fit with Rondo.

I think he's near a lock for a top 4 pick.  I also think Embiid, Wiggins, and Parker are as well, which means only one team has to defy expectations for a player to fall to 5 or lower.  Being the third or fourth best player in the draft does not necessarily mean you'll go third or fourth.
