He probably agreed to it. At this point, they seem to be at such odds that him not playing is best for both parties.

[clipps]

Mavs in 6

[Draz]

Dang crazy how everyone's against rondo now didn't take long to throw him under the bus

[Derka]

Wow, Jon...

It would have been pretty cool to have this news break earlier this morning when Mike Gorman was on Boston sports radio with Toucher and Rich. He was always a pretty solid believer in Rajon as a player, but I'd be curious to hear his take on this.

What a waste. Some loser team is going to just chuck max money at him and he's going to take it and do nothing for the next five years. All his years in Boston, I honestly thought he was going to be better than this.

If I'm Mark Cuban and this kid comes to me saying "Its me or Carlisle"...I pack his mother f*cking bags for him and show him the door.

[outbreak]

Afew years back Dwayne Wade announces he's had a knee injury = ISH says that's why he was playing shit

Rondo announces he's had a back injury = ISH says he's making it up

Even if Cuban wants to fire Carlisle anyway, Rondo needs to leave.

The Mavs are -35 when he plays and +13 when he's out on the series (2 games) so far.

Yep :rolleyes:

We have seen people play poorly in the playoffs. We have seen people choke from the line. What you DON'T SEE is people out there intentionally losing. And we saw that last night.

He very well might have played himself out of the NBA in 10 min last night. Its one thing for immensely talented players to pull **** like this but Rondo is light years from that at this point.

[Basketbolero]

Carlisle saw OKC got rid of Brooks and said 'fvck this shit. Rondo, you're out of here!'

[Timmy D for MVP]

:oldlol:

Goodness I didn't think it was going to end well but damn!

Carlisle got him a title and had to deal with him choking in the FA market for years after breaking up the '11 championship team so quickly. Of course you tell Rondo to GTFO. :oldlol:

[Levity]

must have hurt his back when he was dodging the media.

[Real14]

Well its over now. Rockets will get killed by spurs in semis anyway.

[brandonman]

Well its over now. Rockets will get killed by grizz in semis anyway.

You mean Rockets will get killed by winner of SA vs LAC

What team in their right mind is going to give that knucklehead a max deal at this point?

Jim Buss is the kind of idiot that would. :facepalm

THIS.

Let's do this Mavs!!!!!

[Akrazotile]

Jim Buss is the kind of idiot that would. :facepalm


Yeah look at the crap players he brought or tied to bring in already. Nash, Paul, Howard.

Youre so stupid jim buss!!!! The guy in the radio telled me so!!!!

[He Strong]

I just want a good series, but it hasn't been so far, with the exception of how insanely fun it was watching Josh Smith to Howard oops.

[DirkNowitzki41]

The back injury could be legit.. he really didn't look like he wanted to play yesterday... lots of plays where it looked like he put no effort.

Oh well, looks like we've seen the last of Rondo as a Mav...

:rockon: :djparty

[He Strong]

I feel like any team picking up Rondo in FA is taking a 50/50 gamble. Could make the team better, or much worse.

[Derka]

Have you not seen some of the contracts these teams are tossing out? Someone completely not in their right mind is going to do it.

[brandonman]

Damn you fast:lol Its all good bro, I edit it already.

I could be a homer and argue, but I'm pretty realistic. Although if the Rockets can consistently play they way they played the 4th quarter yesterday while seeing more from Harden, they are a tough out for anybody. But that's a BIG IF.

[HurricaneKid]

50% chance he makes the team better? When was the last time he made his team better?

[Lebron23]

Dang crazy how everyone's against rondo now didn't take long to throw him under the bus


Same with Tony Parker and Damian Lillard.

[FPJ]

The thing is, Rondo was never the player most people thought he was (while in Boston included). It was clear what he couldn't do while it wasn't so clear what he could do. While he was focused, he could produce great games. On average though, his passing was massively overrated (he would refuse an easy lay up for a corner 3 sometimes) and so was his defense. I know that on most sites, after a good defensive season, most people believe that the player will retire with a good defense, but that's just not the case. I think he's also not right in the head, i think he's emo.


Someone should bump all the threads from years ago so we can laugh at the boxscore morons.

You're a grade a moron if you don't think he's a great passer.

[FPJ]

Tell that to Rick Carlisle and run while trying not to choke on your own spit you massive drooler. You imbeciles either dont watch or don't understand basketball. He's been a good passer, that's it. Take him out of his comfort zone and well, you saw what happened. Stop listening to morons on bball forums and check the advanced stats, his impact while passing. Getting the ball to Ray Allen who makes a contested 3 isn't quality passing. Giving up layups for corner 3's isnt smart passing. Watch Rondo games and decide for yourself, stop looking at boxscores. Watch CP3 and the way he dominates a game with his passing, your mind will be blown by the difference. That's a great passer.

[aj1987]

Afew years back Dwayne Wade announces he's had a knee injury = ISH says that's why he was playing shit

Rondo announces he's had a back injury = ISH says he's making it up
Wade at his worst wasn't as bad as Rondo is right now.

Is Rondo a hall of famer? If not, what does he have to do?

If hes a pro, he should do what his coach asks him to do.

Seriously?

Even with the low bar for NBA inclusion he isn't in the ballpark.

[Nick Young]

Good. Scrub can't sabotage Mavs anymore.

[ace23]

Fringe candidate. He's got 4 all-star games and a championship. He'll need to finish strong and make a few more all-star games and put in work in the playoffs to solidify his spot.

[imnew09]

Hurt his back tryna carry Dallas

The year he won the Championship he avg 10.6pts 5.1 asst. In the Finals he was 9.3/3.8/6.1 on .377. Thats far closer to Posey #s than it was to RayRay/KG/Truth.

[clipps]

Asshole, complainer, sabotages the team, makes the Mavericks worse both offensively and defensively, a coaches nightmare.... He would fit in perfect with the Lakers next year. Watch the Lakers waste their cap space on both Love and Rondo and still win less than 30 games.

[sp6r=underrated]

I'm a Knick fan so I do have a bias against Celtics. Still, Rondo's fall is pretty steep. Even if he was never as good as people claimed he still had value. Now he looks like a player who should be out of the league unless he dramatically changes his style of play.

[Dr Seuss]

Hall of famer?? fringe hall of famer???? you guys are morons :facepalm
