Rondo on the Jazz

Shows how much people on this board overrate shooting, judging by the comments. The guy does everything else at a very elite level, and on more than one occasion he pw'd Deron. If he could shoot, he'd probably be the best PG in the league. Like AK once could, he can take over a game just with his defense.

Anyone that watches basketball and/or 1 game of the celtics know that he's a product of the big 3. They know he's going to be garbage when they're gone so they need to get top dollar for him now.

From Yahoo sports Adrian Wojnarowski:

"The Celtics have been gauging Rondo’s trade value for more than a year, and have held discussions with teams about him across the past few trade deadlines and NBA drafts. There have long been divides within Boston’s front office, coaching staff and locker room about Rondo. He can be moody, difficult and stubborn, and several league sources were dubious if the Pacers’ young coach, Frank Vogel, would have the stature to deal with Rondo."

I don't think the concerns only about his shooting.

Hmmm. I don't think it is that big of a problem. I never really heard too much about this before, and it never appeared to affect his game.
 
I've spent a ton of time around Rondo (goes by Jonny). He's a perfectionist. He's insanely competitive. He's not a bad guy, at all, but he's so focused that it drives other people crazy. He's very demanding on those around him to be the best they can be. He's so much that way that I could actually see it being a negative from time to time. I'm sure it wears on people to be constantly wanting him to lighten up for a minute .. to stop being so serious ALL the time.
 
This has been said already but it's worth repeating Rondo was the celtics best player in the playoffs there second run to the finals and he started off on fire last year before his injury! The celtics don't need him to shoot they just need him to distribute and that is what the jazz r going to need! We don't need a scoring pg, it appears we will have enough offense on this team. It's defense that we need and Rondo provides that as well!

I saw Deron as being inconsistent in his attitude. A coach or a player can be a jerk and be just fine. However, your players have to know you'll respond in a given situation. The worst thing you can do is be passive one month, then get mouthy the next (you get the idea). Rondo can be exhausting, but at least he's very consistent. I'm not saying his attitude is the best by the way, I'm just explaining what I've seen. I love the guy, enjoy his passion, but I can also admit he'd wear me down if I didn't share his same level of commitment.

I'd love to have his passing, defense, and leadership...but from what you're saying, he might be too critical and cause our young guys to lose confidence. I'm not sure he would want to be part of a rebuild project either, he's too used to winning.

Yeah, hard to know .. regarding the being part of the rebuild project. Let me clarify on his attitude. He's not critical of mistakes, he's not critical of lack of ability, he's critical specifically with regard to effort. (and his definition of effort is a bit different from most)
