Frankly I think any new guard we get has to be able to shoot, which is rondos weakness. With JSmith and Drummond in our lineup we need all the shooting we can get. No to Rondo even though I like his game.

Asking for Dre is like us asking you for Rondo plus a first for our expirings. Your proposal is laughable!!!

Basketball has changed so much. You cant even compare shaq to any big man in the era. All American ban big man are athletic freaks in the NBA NOW. That's the trend. Only foreign big men have somewhat offensive skill. So in this ERA of super athletic big men, Drummond is like the shaq of this ERA with his ultra super athletisicm.

Other notable big men of this era that are athletic with raw offensive skill:

Blake griffin
Dwight
Bynum
Amare
Davis
Noel

The last of the era of black big men who grew up learning skill:
Kg
Tim Duncan

I love your passion but this sounds like an acute case of homerism.


Remember the days when the trio of Jameer Nelson/Hedo Turkoglu/Dwight was going to the finals in Orlando for years? Why do you think that was? That's how much of an impact Dwight had, and that's what we have in AD.

The only players i would trade him for straight up are KD/Bron/DRose. You could probably convince me to take CP3 /Melo/Harden/Paul George/others but you would have to sweeten the deal

Only 2 bigs on that list weigh 300 pounds or more. Bynum and Drummond. It's the size in addition to the athletecism that causes the comparisons. (I am not saying drummond is shaq)
