Interesting.  What would be a good return?

[RLewis35]

Stephenson S&T?  Hibbert?  Green and Hibbert may be close from their GTown days...perhaps we would be the right place for Hibbert to stay motivated....

Whispers are already out there, @ZachLowe_NBA, about Indy trying to pull in Boston to construct some sort of multi-team deal involving Rondo

Not surprised...he's been singing his high praises all season and said that that's a guy he dreams about having on his team.

My brother said he heard on radio it was phx boston indy

I would say Lance Stephenson. The Pacers know they need a PG and so they could give Lance Stephenson for Rondo maybe, although I don't want rondo to leave. Also, with Stephenson declining the 44M/5 yr offer by Indiana, that could be a likelihood if the Celtics and Pacers do negotiate.

Depends on which third team Indy and Boston can bring in.  Indy itself just doesn't have any assets for a rebuilding team like the Celtics, aside from Paul George of course (which isn't happening).

you pair Rondo with George and Rondo running the pick and pop with West, like he did with KG and they are beating the Heat...

Rondo to Indy, Stephenson to PHX, Bledsoe to Boston?

Not sure how I'd feel about that (actually, I am, considering the only sports apparel I own is a Rondo shirt I bought last year).  Don't know who it's fair for and who it isn't.  Presumably Bledsoe would get the max in this scenario.

When someone said Zach called it fake he replied with
@ZachLowe_NBA
@R_S_MIA Never said that, either. Simply said I didn't report it.

He doesnt deny the tweet.  The tweet was from Mark Stein who tweeted at Zach Lowe.  Misattribution is what he is talking about, I believe.

I don't understand the love for Lance....the guy is a head case....there is little doubt in my mind that he will not only taint the locker room (which is full of young players) but question the coaches when he doesn't get his way. 

I wouldn't trade Olynyk for Stephenson let alone Rondo.

This reminds me of all the JSmith love on this forum...another waste of a player.

Attention cut-and-paste feeds w/reading comprehension issues: Indy's target is Goran Dragic. That's what @ZachLowe_NBA and I were discussing

So why did he bring up Rondo?

[Roy H.]

My guess is that Bird is offering Hibbert to teams, but I don't think he's worth Rondo or Dragic (Indiana's other reported target).  Hibbert is too flawed offensively, and seems mentally weak.
