Mostly young prospects which obviously induces your educated guess. But I added Green and Bradley if any bloggers think they will take the next step and become what we may have hoped. And finally Rondo, will he stay or will he go. Just wanted to know everyones opinion. This poll isn't necessarily a question of NBA greatness, I'm more and less asking if any of the listed players will go down in Celtic history

Without a doubt Rondo will go down in Celtics history.  He won a ring bringing 17 to Beantown and was a huge part of our recent years of contention. 

Some of his playoff performances are historically significant. 

Rondo's layup after having his arm dislocated cements him as one of the toughest Celtics in history, along with his competitiveness which is off the charts. 

However I think if Rondo stays with the Celtics he will be bedrock and fire working with a new emotional leader for the team propelling us forward but not as the alpha.

I agree with the sentiment but in my gut I think he's gone by the deadline. If I didn't feel that way my vote would have went with him AND i really think Smart is gonna be a great player for us

I would say Rondo already is a Celtic great.

Rondo has been a warrior for the Cs for the past few years. Legendary one armed performance, and a Game 2 epic ECF battle (where the refs screwed us over);

I would have voted for more than one if given the choice.  As it was, I voted for the guy who already is a Celtic great. 
DKC Seventy-Sixers:

PG: G. Hill/D. Schroder
SG: C. Lee/B. Hield/T. Luwawu
SF:  Giannis/J. Lamb/M. Kuzminskas
PF:  E. Ilyasova/J. Jerebko/R. Christmas
C:    N. Vucevic/K. Olynyk/E. Davis/C. Jefferson

And yet everyone wants to trade him.  Sigh.

love dj and jojo but rondo has surpassed them
you can say dj's full career sonic, suns and c's but as a celtic he was a defensive player who was a good passer, outside shot spotty but would step up in crucial moments and have big playoffs
wait…. 8)

Smart has 3 months till the season starts. Being on the select team, training camp, and preseason will all be huge experiences for him; and I think he will get much better from them.
