You've mentioned the possibility of the Celtics dealing Rondo. If they went down that road, who might have the desire and pieces to be a trade partner?

It's just one option for Danny Ainge. I think their first preference is to add a big man without breaking up their veteran core of KG, Paul Pierce and Rondo. But if they can't do that, I do think the Rondo, and even Paul Pierce, trade options are on the table. Rondo's been on the block before and despite his incredible play, hasn't drawn huge interest because of his reputation of being a difficult player to coach and a tough teammate. With that said I wouldn't be shocked to see a team like the Nuggets get in the picture. Yes, they have two point guards already, but Rondo would be an upgrade on a team trying to compete right now and they have the pieces that could entice Danny Ainge to make a deal.

Lawson/Mozgov for Rondo.

Corey Brewer/Evan Fournier for JJ Redikk

Rondo/Dre
Iggy/JJ
Gallo/Chandler
Faried/Chandler
Koufus/McGee

Lawson/Mozgov for Rondo.

Lawson for Rondo is sideways. One player can shoot but refuses to. One player can't shoot and refuses to.

Do you like Knight going forward as your PG of the future?

I'm fine with him if we get that player on the wing who can score in iso situations and get buckets when things fall apart. I don't think he's special, but he's a good shooter with a solid handle and quickness, which I think is enough if we get that other player. He doesn't need to be great in order for this team to be very good if Drummond develops like I hope. His shooting will keep the floor spaced, which will help Drummond and Monroe.

My issue with him is that he needs to be much more consistent. Don't need to get 20 every night, but nikka stop giving me games where you have 6 points. His ability is better than that, but mentally he ain't got it yet. He'll never be a playmaker, just need to stay solid and not timid sometimes. Plus I like his defensive potential. When he buckles down he does a real good job of moving his feet and contesting shots.

If what we're looking at is basically the final makeup of the team with some minor tweaks and we're just counting on continued improvement from the other young players, then he ain't gonna cut it.

Royce White had better be really good, like young Charles Barkley status for this kind of trouble.

He CAN be. I don't think he will, but he CAN be

I'll just post this in here since that lame 'CHICAGO' caught feelings and banned me from the bulls thread

Lebron first extension was for Max money but not max years (unloyal) he wanted out but could get his money while leaving so he signed that contract so he could leave in 3 years after getting 40-45 mil out the cavs pocket

I don't give a fukk about none of that in 13-14 derrick rose salary will be greater than the best player in the nba and he aint even in the same category.Lebron will get you to the championship rose won't keep thinkin this overrated pg will lead them anywhere all he do is hop his ass around the court and throw up 17 foot runners he makes NOBODY better

No free agents EVER sign here and these cheap mutha fukkas won't even go over the luxury tax

The future will be rose and a bunch of role players losing to superior talent and teams but chicago "bull fans" don't care about winning they only care about rose remedial ass scoring 30 on 25 shots

The truth hurts

DeRozan just hit a nasty game winner
