Rondo Trade Rumors & Ideas (update pg 8)

[Celts17Pride]

Sam Amick‏@sam_amick
Makes sense for Houston to pursue Boston's Rondo (and @ESPNSteinLine says Rox have interest) but I'm told the two teams have not spoken.


Could it be that all the rumors are being generated from one source? Clutchfan?

That would actually be pretty impressive.

Sam Amico was pointing to the guy on Clutchfan, Incarcerated Bob and SportsLegion were referencing Sam Amico, Mark Stein was pointing to the FoxSports report by Sam Amico.

See where this is going.......

I'll wait for Woj.

All comes down to us wanting Parsons and a lottery pick as the centerpieces of the deal, IMO.

Question is: How do they get a lottery pick without Parsons?

My verdict: LOL.

[shawn unkempt]

Yeah, I think we already have all the third options we're going to need. PASS

[Marvel]

I thought it would be obvious by now, but clearly DA is trying to create a new dynasty that people haven't seen for decades. Trading Rondo for Parsons/Asik/ etc etc and then in the offseason go and get Hayward and Dragic then come next season finally, we can go back to the teams of old.

Dragic/Hayward/Parsons/Olynyk/Asik

TEAM WHITE!

Team Dung

[gocelts]

I GOT OFF THE FONE WITH MY SOURSE. DANNY IS GOING TO MAKE A TRADE AND ITS NOTHING THAT HAS BEEN BROKE ON THE BOARDS. MORE DETAILS LATER BUT YOU HEARD IT HEAR FURST.


- Cthug rocks.

[GuyClinch]

I don't see the deal going down but maybe Ainge doesn't want to pay Rondo max - so its a way to get something for him rather then letting him walk.. Its not like Rondo is the Celtics property for life. You have to think about the future..

[Avalanche]

Also, IF Rondo is already using the "i wont resign" stuff in trade talks... it would only get worse next season when he's expiring

[ddb]

who says no.

Rondo, Bradley, Bass to Phoenix for Bledsoe, Okafors expiring, Len and a pick?

[DarkAzcura]

who says no.

Rondo, Bradley, Bass to Phoenix for Bledsoe, Okafors expiring, Len and a pick?

I'd say no because we almost got Bledsoe AND Jordan for Garnett and Pierce. It'd be on repeat in my head every time I saw Bledsoe if we traded Rondo for him haha.

I don't really like that knee injury he had recently either..wasn't a part of his meniscus removed ala Brandon Roy? Eek

[Marvel]

Yeah, that surgery Bledsoe got scares the **** outta me now. I was high on him when the KG, PP rumours were up in the air, but not after his latest knee surgery.

Say no to Haywards

Didn't see this up yet

ESPN.com's Marc Stein includes this Celtics-related nugget in his latest update on trade chatter:
One source close to the situation told ESPN.com this week that Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck -- who has long preferred to keep Rondo in Boston even though he'll be an unrestricted free agent in less than 18 months -- is insisting that Ainge set a high trade price for the All-Star point guard.

Felger and Co. were crying about the owner interfering with a personnel guy doing his job which is stupid. If Bill was going to trade Brady I am sure craft would get involved.

I am actually glad that somebody has a leash on Ainge here a little bit. He isn't a traditional GM who has day to day concerns to worry about he strictly does player personnel. There is a business side to this that feeds the player side and you have to have a player to market and to sell tickets. McLemore wasn't that player maybe Parsons is but I think Doc did a lot of slowing Trader Danny down in the past and I am pretty sure Wyc stepped in with Pierce a couple of times. It is good to know that this isn't just Danny and his inner circle making calls without a big picture view on things.

Felger is a blowhard. The same type of guy that will rip the team because they don't trade Rondo but will be the 1st in line to rip the Celtics again 3 years from now when Rondo is killing it and winning a title with some other team. The guy just loves to complain and bitch. He's always had a hair across his ass for the Celtics and especially Rondo anyway. He always ripped KG too. He's a clown.

No one on 93.7 or 98.5 actually understands the NBA and what it takes to build a decent NBA team. Felger (or some other guy) literally thought it was a good idea to trade Rondo (take 50 cents on the dollar) to guarantee a top 3 pick. I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty sure Danny Ainge would rather have Rondo + top 8-10 pick than just a top 3 pick..even in this draft. I know I would. Adam Jones knows the most, and I still scratch my head at some of the stuff he says.

+100. Felger makes sf2003 seem moderate. He hopes they lose 82 games.

[brackdan70]

I don't really want to trade Rondo...but with all the Houston talk...Rondo and Wallace for Asik, Lin, Parsons works.
Not really sure I would consider it without a pick....but a way to perhaps move Wallace. Houston probably balks as well.

[Captain_Caveman]

Let's trade Rondo and resign him in a year.

I would certainly take a top 3 pick + the 50% return on Rondo over Rondo + pick 8-10. I don't even think its close when you factor in Rondo's age and upcoming free agency as well as the current state of the team. If Rondo signed an extension in the $12m/year range then it would be a closer decision.

The Toucher and Rich is actually pretty good. They are sketchy on sports stuff in general but Rich Shertenlieb is actually a pretty big C's fan and they have Scal on the show and I think Ainge does their show as well.
