I can't think of a single player in the league who fits with Rondo as good as love hopefully will . Their games would match so naturally together , with Love being able to score from anywhere on the court , and spacing the floor for Rondo to drive .

Love also owns the boards , and is the best outlet passer in the game IMO . This is only going to make life much easier for Rondo to get the fast break started . Jeff Green will also benefit from this greatly (if he is still on the team). Green thrives in the open court when he can just get the ball and go before the defense is set up .

Yes we still need a starting Center , and some more perimeter defense and shooting(Maybe Kevin Martin comes along ?) , but this would obviously be a huge step in the right direction .

I am loving the Rondo/Love possibilities .

like others have stated I think green benefits the most from Love being here.

Rondo plays best with above the rim players (Wilcox, 07/08 KG).
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

The Rondo/Shaq pairing was so dominant, its ashame we didn't get to enjoy more of it. I do think some people tend to have this idea of Rondo needing high flyers around him, but he's been great with so many different types of the players.
