Gotcha. That post was referring to the upcoming draft(s) being of redundant positions to what most already feel we have dialed in .. puts us on the exact same page, I think.

I'd offer Harris and Jefferson for him.
This seems to have proven out, I stand corrected.
What did you hear/read that makes you so certain this won't happen? Cause I actually like the idea of Rondo on the Jazz
Just a hunch. If a story emerges that gives legs, I'll call him and see what he thinks .. but not unless there's a story.

I happen to agree about the pitchforks, but he doesn't suck. I would probably agree that he's somewhat overrated and there's a reason why Boston is shopping him. Having said that, I'm wondering where you rate him among PGs. He can't shoot worth a damn, but I doubt Utah would have a chance at a better PG anytime soon. Maybe years.
If Utah had a chance at landing him without getting robbed, I think they'd have to take a serious look at it. That's just it, though. I think there's zero chance of getting him without overpaying.

hell no
I've seen enough bricks by CJ, AK, and Brewer to fill a century of bricklaying.
We don't need another guard with Greg Ostertag range.
and that punkass voice????? I can only imagine him being thrown to the ground and screaming at the refs, "That's BS!" Just like what he did a few years ago...
Besides, Rondo is fools gold. He looked good because he had 3 hall of famers dragging him around. He's a good athlete. But it helps to have guys like KG, Ray Allen (one of the best shooters of all time), and The Truth out on the perimeter.
Somehow I doubt Rondo would look as good when he drives the lane, dishes it out to a wide open CJ, who promptly bricks his 5th 3-pointer in a row going 3-16 for the night. Big difference between Hayward, CJ, and Raja Bell vs Ray Allen and The Truth.
Stick with Devin Harris. He isn't bad. Then, we draft a PG. Truly, drafting is the (only) way to go with this small market team.

I'd much rather have Darren Collison.
Yeah, I know. Flame on.
I'd also rather wait it out with Harris and keep looking. Rondo is a cheap-shot artist and his own team - as successful as they've been with all of the leadership in the world - are rather sour on him. I'd love to see Rondo on another team and maybe I'll have to shut up, but I think him on a less-talented and less well-rounded roster that doesn't space the floor as well for him could be an outright disaster. Rondo has been in as PERFECT a situation for his skill-set as you could realistically conceive. I really don't want the Jazz to be that guinea pig whether I'm right or wrong, and that's saying nothing of the assets that Boston will demand for him.
I'm less than not at all interested.
That's the scary part. There doesn't appear to be any promising prospects coming down the pipe anytime soon. I think the last few years of really good PGs in the draft was just an aberration and we might be looking at the barren landscape that was the late 90's as far as PG prospects go.
For example, the only PGs I'm intrigued by this year are Nemanja Nedovic and Jordan Taylor. One is a bit of an unknown and the other can't finish or get to the line. Sweet.
I'll hold out hope that the Sixers **** up and will trade Jrue Holiday for some nice spare parts that we have (Harris + GS pick, maybe something with Millsap or Jefferson).

I think PKM is dead on with his assesment of PGs available in the next few years. This team is going to need another plan.
