I wonder why...........
If you read the articles, they say Rondo is expendable for a high price in return. Harris and Bell are garbage in return. Bell isn't a bonus to this trade, he is just another old player and an extra 3 million dollars. Rondo > Harris.
Rondo doesn't solve the problems that having Harris as our PG creates. We need a floor stretcher. Also I like my PG's to shoot better than 50% from the FT line. No thanks.
Hoopshype is reporting the Celtics are interested in moving Rajon Rondo...
To me Rondo would be a perfect Jazz PG because he is a pass first type PG with great defense and is freaky fast.
Here would be the trade:
Jazz trade Devin Harris, Raja Bell and the #12 pick for Rajon Rondo.
Hopefully Memphis takes Kanter, look at this lineup:
Rondo/Watson
Hayward/CJ
Williams/Millsap
Favors/Millsap
Jefferson/Okur/Fess
That is one crazy friggin good starting lineup, and thats a trade I think Boston would take.
One day, Rondo will have a chance to prove he's a player without playing alongside 3+ HOF-ers. That day hasn't come yet.
Perimeter players that can't hit a shot don't get a vote of confidence from me, though.
