Danny Ainge is playing Poker

Now that we know that PER is the official ranking tool for all NBA players, regardless of other factors, it opens up some great trades.

We can sign and trade Humphries(Ranked 14th) for Marc Gasol who's 15th. Maybe we could trade him for Asik(44) and Larry Sanders(46) and get rid of Wallace(23rd) for taking on such garbage.

You forgot to drop the mic.

I think most who work with numbers understand that the phrase "Figures lie and liars figure" is an absolute truth.

Eager to hear him say we should keep wallace and not sign Sanders and Asik whose PER's are low. LOL

Or maybe how Jimmer Freddette has an amazing 15.88 PER and is much better than Michael Carter Williams with a 15.59 PER.  hahahaha

If he moves Rondo, prepare for some of the Celtics fans' vehement responses that will chant "Fire Danny!!"

Why?

Rondo can't shoot, he can't defend, and he is overpaid.

Rondo also dropped 45/15/5 on Miami in 2012 and was leading the team on that run...

4x All Star
2x First team D
2x Second team D

And Gordon Hayward is better how?

Stop trolling Rondo and be realistic for a second. If Rondo was on a max contract, you would have a point, but he's not close to that. so. no.

Rondo was the 14th ranked point guard in 2013 before the knee injury, and the 29th ranked point guard in 2014.

Gordon Hayward was the 11th ranked shooting guard, and he is younger.

Numbers don't lie.

14th of all time? Yeah maybe.  Although there is no way Gordon is 11th best shooting guard all time. No way.

Funny, I was thinking of playing poker myself.

THe only stats I need to see for Rondo to know that he's a legit player is his career playoff stats:

2008 Boston .407 .250 .691 4.1 6.6 1.7 .3 10.2
2009 Boston .417 .250 .657 9.7 9.8 2.5 .2 16.9
2010 Boston .463 .375 .596 5.6 9.3 1.9 .1 15.8
2011 Boston .477 .000 .632 5.4 9.6 1.1 .0 14.0
2012 Boston .468 .267 .696 6.7 11.9 2.4 .1 17.3

Career  .445 .277 .647 6.0 9.2 2.0 .2 14.5

Playoff career averages 14/9/6 with two steals and that's including the long 2008 playoff run where he was a 4-5 option on the floor so these stats aren't even that telling. Also his shooting improves in the playoffs to, 45% from the floor and 65% from the line. Look at 2012 when he was giving the reigns as a 2nd option to score behind pierce... 17/12/6.7 and 2.4STLs.... Get Love and a star around him and good things will happen

How many other PG's in the NBA could've dropped 45/15/5 on Miami in the playoffs? A
Answer: Not many

[Casperian]

14th of all time? Yeah maybe.

Please.

The 14th best PG of all time is obviously Fat Lever, everyone knows that.
