Rondo on the Jazz

I think 90% here hate the idea. I'm in the 10%. (and it has nothing to do with him being UK alum)

No, I think it's the other way around. The 10% on this issue (me specifically) just make a lot more noise.

(and it does)

Everyone wants to feel like the underdog.
 
Not naming names (Numberica), but some of you guys are just clueless on Rondo. Obviously we'll have to wait and see how he does without the 'trio', but I'd put big money on him. Dudes a winner. He does everything at an elite level except for shooting the ball. If he needed to, though, he can absolutely score it.

We, no you, shall see.

Then that means they don't want him. How could they not possibly want him HE PASSES THE BALL AND IS FAST AND DEFENSE OKAY

Don't forget he made that 15-foot jump shot...that one time. Seriously though, Boston is a much better fit for him with 2 wings who can score and a PF who can stretch the floor in pick&pop, not to mention the terrific leadership. You can say he might thrive on a young up&down team but we don't know what the heck we have in this Jazz team yet. Gotta figure some of that out first before you add an established player with a unique (and at times limited) skill set in Rondo.
 
I don't know if it works, but how about Millsap and Harris for Rondo and filler. Rondo brings toughness and defense to a young core that needs to learn both. We don't need him to shoot or score much just be a pest on def. Playmaker and leader.

Maybe it's just when I watch (the finals, playoffs, occasional regular season national TV games, jazz games), but only fools respect his shot, and the even smarter (Kobe) play hack-a-Rondo. 50% FT shooting AS A PG. 23% from 3.

Saying he can do "everything but shoot" also means "everything but arguably the most important single-ability in basketball". The issue isn't that he's just short of elite at shooting, he's bad. Plainly bad. And with confidence (or lack thereof) to boot. That might not matter if you're 6' 10", but for a PG that **** matters.

The Celtics have another championship, in 6 games or less, if they had a PG with a more well-rounded skill-set. His inability to make the Lakers respect him destroyed their offense.

I'm with ya PKM! Your a KU homer, and I despise KU for the many times they knocked Utah off in the turny. Rondo is a great fit with the jazz.

Coming from the guy that scarcely has a bad thing to say about anyone from KU unless glaringly awful, that's rich.
