why, colangelo is one of the better gm available? who else is out there?

at least with rondo we would have a point guard that can pass and do multiple things.


#1 being holding players accountable like Lopez. If Lopez took those stupid fade away shots with Rondo on the floor he would never get the ball.

You can very easily stat pad assists, are you kidding? Passing up open shots to a contested shooter will pad your assists, to the detriment of a team offense. Add in that not only can he not shoot, that he's afraid to shoot, and overpasses to teammates that aren't in great positions to score most of the time, and it's no wonder that he consistently leads an underwhelming offense.

Whatever, I really don't have to make much of an argument here, Rondo has been a low impact player with serious locker room issues throughout his career, there's a mountain of evidence supporting that. You can stick your head in the sand if you want to, but Rondo just isn't that good of a player. Fat, out of shape, apathetic Deron Williams was better.

You arent making much of an argument so dont worry. You care to actually back up anything you say?

Underwhelming offense = Sactown is 3rd in the NBA in scoring.

Low impact player = Rondo has played in the finals twice and won once. 4 All-Star appearances.

Jack (11.2 FGA/G) and Rondo (10.9 FGA/G) take the same number of shots per game yet one is considered a chucker and the other is considered "scared to shoot".

Rondo's offensive RAPM, and PPP are heavily positive as well, outside of his last season in boston and time with dallas.

Great move for the Nets. Anybody is better than Billy King. Now Brooklyn can finally start building a legitimate basketball team that the city can be proud of. :nod:

Return to Brooklyn Nets
