Knicks are "hoping against hope" to pull off trade for Rondo

[Knicks_Fan2]

2015 plan may go out the window in the next two weeks, even if we don't get Rondo. I also think he's tremendously overrated.

[Marty McFly]

the 2015 plan is a waste of everyone's time to begin with. melo's, the knicks, knick fans.

[NoLayupRule]

what a difference Rondo would make on this squad

defensively alone but just thinking about a player who can penetrate and score or dish and actually control the offense makes me a little too excited

That is the difference a healthy Rondo makes. This BoBo Rondo isn't better than Felton.

It would be pretty desperate to make a strong push for him now, unless we are getting him at a steep discount.

don't you think he is at discount now though

when healthy he's wracking up triple doubles in the playoffs and running a team of difficult vets

right now he's coming off injury, playing with terrible teammates and on a roster he knows he's gonna leave. No wonder he's playing badly.

The Celtics got better immediately after he was hurt last season because he was pounding the ball too much. The Celtics offensive in the rondo era has, I believe, always been below average but they had a great defense throughout. Rondo is a good defender when healthy no question, but when a team can go under every single screen without a problem, it makes it incredibly difficult to run an efficient offense with him on the floor.

[Bill Pidto]

Ughhh more Rondo talk. It's very unlikely Rondo comes here unless he demands a trade. And even then Ainge might ship him off somewhere like the Kings for a better deal.

Also I am at the point where I don't think adding Rondo would fix all the problems on this team and make us contenders. I'd rather wait till 2015 till we can sign Rondo outright, then trade our assets for 1.5 years of Rondo

You just reached that point?

[Greenie]

Rondo-jr-melo-j.green-tyson??..is that good enough to compete for a title? ?

if you can get that lineup, you gotta do it

hire svg as coach, and let them play

That lineup sucks

[Greenie]

Next year yeah, if Woody is gone and we sign good bench guys.

I don't see any scenario in which we get Rondo and Jeff Green tho. We'd have to take back Wallace and Humphries and give up picks for that

That's a suck ass team.

Well this is assuming rondo is back to being rondo.

Rondo
Jr (would rather have him off the bench honestly)
Green
Melo at the 4
Tyson

I think that team is damn good especially In the East.

If playing at their potential then they can win a chip.

Rondo can get the team out in transition and play perimeter defense which are two of our biggest problems

That's funny

That team is horrid.

Point. Blank. Period.

[NYMNYKFN10]

I'm pretty sure Rondo would be a disaster over here.

Reggie Jackson in 2015 > Rondo

[K_ick_God]

Most I'd offer is Shump, Hardaway, top-5 protected pick.

the most you're offering is everything we got

No Tyler. But we said same about Mozgov.

[BleedGreen1989]

Rondo's last three games:

19 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals
8 points, 11 assists, 9 rebounds, 2 steals
13 points, 8 assists, 8 rebounds, 3 steals

If that's Rondo when he's "done", I'll gladly take that.

[nykballa2k4]

I'd do it if we make the pick top 5 protected. But when have the Knicks ever protected any pick?

I don't think they know how.

Not their fault, they had their protection talk from Paul George

[Dr. Detfink]

It's not going to happen.

you'll take what? you already have him.

Touché lol

I'd trade Amare, Felton and Timmy Jr. for Bass, Green and Rondo....I'd deal NO DRAFT PICKS

Green, Melo, Tyson, Shump and Rondo....Bass, Kenyon, Spliff, Pablo...etc. I think Woodson would have a real hard time coaching Rondo, but we all know Woody will not be here next season anyway. But IF that crew could get an 8th seed, they'd scare the f*ck out of Indiana in the first round...

reggie jackson is a terrible defender though

and has yet to prove he is a good pg. He is a scoring 6th man right now

I agree with you on your current assessment of him. He's getting an extreme amount of pub but I see very little playmaking ability and instead seems to be a good scoring guard off the bench instead of a full time point guard.

no he isn't

Ainge hangs up the phone

Considering the package from the Kings that the Celtics turned down, there's no chance in Hell they trade him to us.
