Anyway, I don't think Dwight going to the Nets is necessarily unlikely, it depends how things play out... one thing is sure though, and that's Lopez isn't a very good asset. He had a really damaging season last year, and if Dwight gets traded before the season the Nets picks will have bad value.
Rondo is 25 years old and has a fairly reasonable contract. He's also an all-star unlike Bynum, and isn't injured all the time (unlike Bynum). You can build a team around him... maybe not as the best player, but he could be the Robin of a very good team. Bynum can't be, especially not with all the injuries.
Yeah, I'm a Nets fan, but my user name actually refers to the 2nd 3-peat Bulls, with Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman. Big fan of them.
I think Rondo is one of the most overrated players out there. His defense is overrated, and his offense just isn't that good. He made the All-Star team for two reasons:
1. He played for the Celtics with the big 3, and they had a lot of success, so he got attention.
2. He gets a lot of assists, so people think of him as this offensive wizard...he's also got a lot of highlight reel plays and he does play with a lot of hustle, so props for that, but he's not an All-Star caliber player imo.
Lopez got killed last season because of piss poor rebounding, and that's a legitimate knock. But like someone mentioned above, he was sick, and there were a bunch of other annoying problems with him that aren't valid excuses for averaging 6 rpg, but should be considered, and he did average over 8 rpg in his first two seasons. While not a great rebounder, I don't think he's as terrible as he showed last season. And he's a legit post scorer.
I don't think he's a poor asset at all, he's a better value than Bynum imo, simply because he can actually stay on the court.
Rondo has not shown he can be a Robin on a good team at all, he's still the 4th option on the Celtics, and should remain so.
