The thought of that proposal makes me ill. Thank satan that koc is not the buffoon some thinks he is.
We dont need the four to be as good as rondo. If wed just let this **** run its course we could develop them while getting picks to round out the team. Once you have enough assets you can start talking about who to move. Imo we dont have enough youth to move more than two and be good enough in the future to keep the star we aquire. We will be a middling team forever.
Here's the paragraph that mentions Utah:
"Teams who are being mentioned as possible destinations for Pierce include the Washington Wizards and Utah Jazz, although it is not known if Danny Ainge would deal Pierce to a team as bad as the Wizards, or what he would be asking for his franchise player."
So the blogger mentions 2 teams then quickly discounts one of them. And he has no idea what players Ainge might want in return. Yep, sounds like this guy really knows his stuff. Instead of BSB (Boston Super Blog), this should be called Blowing Smoke Big-Time.
Don't know if the Clippers would realistically want to gut 3/4 of their bench just to land Pierce. Their strong bench is one of the reasons they're doing well.
They may have learnt the lesson from their room mate, the Lakers.
I'd do Al & the GS pick for Pierce.
I would not include Favors in a deal for Rondo because Favors is why I want Rondo. Rondo on the Jazz without Favors is not very appealing to me.
I want Rondo to help Favors reach his potential.
I'd give up anyone not named Favors, Hayward and Kanter for Rondo.
Burks is the only of the 4 that I'd deal for Rondo/Pierce.
There's no Furkan way I'm including Favors in a deal for Pierce and Rondo.

I guess you haven't seen what players like James Harden mean to their teams. Rockets have jack squat and Harden, and about the same record as a team you wouldn't trade ONE player off of?
I'd give up Favors, GSW pick, Jazz 2013 & 2015 1st, & Burks for an All Star of Rondo's caliber.
Fill the team in with JJ Hickson, Boozer's amnestied contract, David West, specialists like Korver who add way more than Foye, get Iguodala to terminate and sign a multi-year deal...fill in like this, but first take Rondo and run with it.
What the celtics record with said all star?

It's not their fault Corbin is 10x the coach that Doc Rivers is.
Or that the FO signed the undersized, over-the-hill version of Randy Foye who can't shoot anymore. Or that Bass/Green is their forward combo. Or that Garnett is too old to play 30 mpg.
The point is that Rondingo does not fix anything. Im all for swinging for the fences, but not for Rondo. I like him, just not enough to give up on Favors or Kanter without seeing what they can do with consistent minutes.
