The Jazz Have to Make a Hard Push for Rondo

I would not trade Hayward for Rondo. Sounds to me like Rondo has attitude problems or something if he "needs a change of scenery".
Hayward's playing elite defense right now and I like his leadersihp potential.
Hayward's a 6'9'' gaurd. There's not many of those that come to mind to me.

Avery BRadley. He was supposedly playing better defense than Rondo when Rondo went down and Bradley started.

False. From what I saw, Avery was not doing anything better than Rondo .. though I've been wrong before. Let's get Rondo .. Avery is better anyway!!!

They are open to trading him for a 31 year old Pau Gasol who makes almost $4 million more than Al Jefferson. While that's not a problem right now, paying him $20M at 34 years old is going to be painful. At that same time, they could be paying a 30 year old Al Jefferson substantially less, and also get (presumably, I can't speak for KOC) a young piece from the Jazz. I think the deal is right there, I'm sure the Celtics would strongly consider my original proposal.

For me that's a legitimate question as well. Rondo is better than Hayward right now, but I don't know about in even two years if this holds true. Rondo has tremendous advantages and glaring flaws. Will Rondo average as many assists without Pierce and Allen on the perimeter? He will have more options for the pick-and-roll, to be sure. You have to take into consideration that he has two of the best shooters in the NBA as complements, one being arguably the best in the history of the NBA. I would love him on the Jazz, but for what price and with what other team members?

True, and I agree to a certain extent. BUT, he had 15 assists today, Ray Allen only hit 3 shots, and I'm pretty sure Rondo didn't assist on all 3 of them. He was setting up scrubs & bench players beautifully today, I was salivating. He even got Chris Wilcox involved in the game! Just by nature of him being on our team, guys are going to get better looks. Whether they knock them down or not, that's another question.
