rondo to the kings

[el gringos]

Kings have the scorers now they just need the point guard. (don't answer I Thomas, as he is better suited to be a backup pg/scorer off the bench)

can't see why Boston would trade rondo for an equivalent player, so picks from a team like Sac is the only thing that makes sense.

how many picks, and would you gamble their 2014 unprotected 1st for Rondo if you are Sacramento for this group?

Rondo/Isaiah
McLemore
gay/outlaw
williams
cousins/thompson

[Myth]

If the Kings were to trade for Rondo using picks, there would be protections. Maybe not heavy protections, but at least top 3 protected.

[el gringos]

Sac gets Rondo, e okafor, m. Brooks

Boston gets- sac 14 & 16 1sts, amare, m Thornton, r McCallum

This isn't a trade, this is a listing of players on different teams.

[CelticBaller]

Gringos with another mess of a trade :lol

[r15mohd]

do we even know if Rondo can make the impact he once did...doubt anyone gives the Celtics anything until they see him on the court proving himself once again

[CelticBaller]

Why not? :confusedshrug:

[VIntageNOvel]

after bargnani trade, i wouldnt dare to laugh at all :lol

[r15mohd]

Why not? :confusedshrug:


Baron Davis, Brandon Roy, Derrick Rose, Greg Oden, etc.

he's taking the DRose approach but there is no guarantee to come back like the 15ast demon we once knew :confusedshrug:

[CelticBaller]

Roy had meniscus problems, Oden weak knees and the other two rely on their athleticism more than Rondo. Rondo doesn't need to be as active as the D Rose to make an impact on the court.

Stop giving away NY 1st round picks you fool

[VIntageNOvel]

Stop giving away NY 1st round picks you fool


:roll:
i dont even know now whos worse between nets and ny

both wouldnt even have 1st round pick until 2020

[KyrieTheFuture]

That team would suck because no one would play defense or be able to score efficiently. Also, stop trying to stifle Isaiah Thomas let my boy be free.

[Black and White]

We are not giving up Rondo, he will come back the same player. Hes our leader, maybe next season we might look into it but for now, no way.

[FireDavidKahn]

Kings have the biggest collections of blackholes that I've ever seen. Their games will be entertaining to watch.

Gay is going to kill Mclemores growth

[b1imtf]

Sure, give us Cousins.

[Black and White]

Sure, give us Cousins.

This, we will take Cousins and Mclemore and you can have Rondo and others

[andremiller07]

Gay is going to kill Mclemores growth
Nope, if anything he's going to take pressure off him and teams will focus on him less meaning more open looks and higher %'s.

[Crown&Coke]

Any team getting Rondo is also getting Gerald Wallace, otherwise Danny would rather just keep Rondo

That'd be the safest thing, but if I were Kings, I'd be desperate to land Rondo and would leave the pick unprotected, especially as extra incentive for the Celtics to make a deal.

Here's what I'd try to do (works financially):

Sac gets - Rajon Rondo, Courtney Lee, 2017 1st rnd pick (unprotected)
Bos gets - Marcus Thornton, Jimmer Fredette, Jason Thompson, 2014 1st rnd pick (unprotected)

Kings go from having a backlog of PFs at season's start to having no PFs except an injured Landry lol.

We got Acy who is Reggie Evans with more athletic ability/less rebounding plus he's a thug something we don't have and we need him, he's this year's Tony Douglas for us bookmark it.

oh yeah forgot about him already lol. But isn't he a SF? Love his beard and spirituality, though. Can't wait to see him play.

He was basically a C in Baylor and they tried to make him a SF for a while in Toronto but his natural position imo is probably PF.

Well, C in college probably IS SF in NBA lol.

why do the Suns pay J McGee 10mil when they have their rookie Len with the 5th pick

Why would the suns pay Fat boy Felton for 3 years when they have bledsoe/dragic?

[Miss Bella]

He never really relied on his athleticism to make it happen.

[el gringos]

McGee is a limited minutes guy who would give the suns a great center rotation at a reasonable cost while Len is on his rookie contract. Also have plumlee who can then play pf. If Len or plumlee were not on their rookie deals- then sure, it might not make sense. Add in the difference in altitudes and climate between Denver and phoenix and mcgees asthma situation greatly improves.


as far as why do you pay felton- at 3 million a year that's a good price for a good backup.

suns get 4 rotation players for dragic including Wilson chandler who plugs in perfectly at SF.
