If I could...and it works on the trade machine

Rondo's effective for Boston because he doesn't have to do anything more than what he does. If he came here with the guys the Jazz have, he'd be Ronnie Price Deluxe.

AND with a ****ty attitude. All for only $50 million.

DO IT. DO IT BEFORE THINKING.

NO! I'd rather have Millsap than Rondo. He is not the answer at PG for the Jazz.

What is the fascination of Jazz fans with PG's and wings that can not shoot.

I'm tired of hearing the myth of Rondo not being able to shoot. That was **** that has stuck with him since he first came into the league, but if you've actually watched his game, his shot has progressed and he's not a bad shooter. With that being said, he's a pass first guy, good defender, and gritty. Pretty much the heart and soul of the Celtics the past few seasons and he doesn't get the credit he deserves.

Wow. Hyperbole, I hope.

Only sort of. If Rondo can do what he does when Allen and Pierce aren't out there, I'll take it back. As it is, I see him as one of the best role players in the league and nothing more.

So, aside from the debate regarding Rondo's ability to shoot, there is no ****ing way the Jazz should deal Harris AND Millsap and come away with only Rondo. Unless they get a reacharound with it.

He's a terrible shooter, any way you cut it. Per 82games.com, he had an efg% of .382 on jumpers last season. He also had his worst year from the line, shooting 57% for the season. That's not progress.

What's the league average on jumpshots from PGs? I'm guessing it's right around .390

Rather than turning this into a neg-rep battle, I'll address it on the board. The Price thing was tongue in cheek, partly, and I won't debate his toughness or his grit, but there is no way I would say he's not a bad shooter. Teams play off him and dare him to shoot for a reason: he's a bad shooter. I would always rather have him take a shot than penetrate and dish. Every single time. If he hits an open jumper, so be it. Better him than Allen or Pierce.

It wasn't a battle, I just didn't agree with your post, especially comparing Rondo with Price. Very poor.

efg% on jumpers is much higher than that, even for point guards. .382 is miserable.

But what is it? Also, I'd be willing to bet his efg% on close shots is among the league's best for PGs.

I agree. Price can shoot.

 

[Archie Moses]

I agree. Price can shoot.

So they're so much alike. Wow, we have a Rajon Rando like player on the Jazz!!! Start Price because he can run an offense, is a pass first guy, and has hands larger than Yao Ming.
