Rajon Rondo Wants Out. Where Does He Land?

[SchoolboyC]

They shouldnt even attempt to get rondo. But have you forgotten Dwight,Gasol. If the Lakers want to trade for a player & they wanna be there. Best believe it's gone happen

The Lakers gave up Bynum in the Dwight trade and they gave up Marc Gasol in the Pau trade. I'm not saying it's impossible for the Lakers to trade for Rondo but they're not doing it without giving up Randle and whatever picks they have because that's the only assets they got. Y'all ain't getting Rondo and only giving up the likes of Swaggy P, Hill, Lin, etc.

I think the Pistons should trade Monroe and J-Smooth for him. That will be nice....For US Piston's fans....

Trading Smith for Rondo defeats the entire purpose of getting Rondo to begin with.

I'm not saying it's impossible for the Lakers to trade for Rondo .

Glad we agree

Nah seriously tho, yo original post was on point

That Rondo wont fit??? Or Triangle O being ran??

that Fisher won't run the triangle.

You don't have Phil trying to vicariously coach through a guy who won't run his beloved system.

In fairness, I don't remember Marc Gasol being a prospect in demand when he was traded for his brother. @tremonthustler1 can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think a lot of people saw him being as good as he's become.

As far as the whole triangle argument, it can work... and people seem to not know or just ignore the fact that Rondo basically spent last season on his 3 point shot and it was somewhat respectable and will probably be even more improved after this summer. His shot is not the issue people make it out to be, it's just an easy diss for the uneducated basketball game that hasn't paid close attention to Rondo in the past few years.

I still don't see a lot of teams out there that would want Rondo and match up for a trade. The Rockets, Knicks, Mavs, Lakers, Pacers, Pistons all make sense but they don't have the kind of package the Celtics would be looking for. It'd be a combination of picks, a young player (probably a SF or defensive C), and expiring contracts that can match up with Rondo and Gerald Wallace.
I don't expect us to get a huge haul here at all, but you can't give up Rondo for nothing either.

Correct. Gasol was talented, but nobody saw him being able to rework his body to what he is now.

May Allah guide Rondo to Islam.

Phil better NOT blow that Marc Gasol money on a fukkin Rajon Rondo

This right here.

Take Knicks out of the convo. Good luck Rondo.

And how would a non offensive pg help in the triangle? I thought you need to know how to shoot. ..

 

[Higher Tech]

the pacers need him so bad

RIP george hill you gotta go bro

Word! I hope we get him

 

[Born2BKing]

Every good team basically already have a point guard
