Title: NOT a RUMOR: Suggestion by Ryan Russillo - Rondo for DMC/Evans
Post by: heyvik on February 20, 2013, 07:07:37 AM
 Ryan Russillo (who had Flip Saunders on yesterday) suggested to trade Rondo for DeMarcus Cousins and Evans. His suggestions was to start the Sac/SEA franchise with a Marquee player like Rondo to make a splash - instead of DMC and a bunch of mediocre players.

Did anyone else see this?????
Thoughts????

Not anything new, at all.

Although with Atlanta wanting to move J-Smoove, we could unite Rondo and him in Seattle all in one deal, giving the Kings more incentive.

Like such: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine/?tradeId=acq3y25

It was sorta Simmons' idea, as I recall. He was pointing out a few franchises that should still be interested in Rondo, and made the point about that Sacramento should certainly consider it, based on the idea that starting a new identity in Seattle with Cousins as your star would be a bad idea.

I dont hesitate with this one, you do Rondo for Evans and DMC without looking back. Bradley can be a decent PG in this league, put him next to Evans who can also handle the ball, with Green on the wing and DMC down low. You win now, you're looking good for the future.

I would do this trade in 2 seconds

Makes sense for all teams involved. DMC has to play with KG , at least for a little.

I don't really see it. I'm intrigued by Cousins, but wonder if he falls in the 'life's too short' category.

Regardless, I only want to trade Rondo now for veterans who can significantly improve the Cs chances of Banner 18 in 2013, and I just don't buy that Cousins is ready for that kind of spotlight right away.

This would obviously be a win now trade and future trade. Tyreke and Cousins for Rondo with a torn ACL would be a steal.

I don't agree that that's obvious. I get the future part, though there are plenty of question marks about Cousins, and Evans is overrated / not worth giving a long term deal, IMO.

More importantly, what I'm saying is that I have serious doubts about the validity of the 'win now' part.

Not that any of this matters, because this deal doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of happening anyway.

I don't see how you dont think its a no brainer... Rondo is out for the yer and can't contribute anything.

Cousins is a top flight big who can dominate the paint against anyone when dialed in. I think having KG mentor you and simply coming to a new situation where you're playing for something will accomplish that.

Evans instantly becomes the top guard on the team and arguably the top talent. He defends, gets to the lane, and really does everything well accept shoot consistently. Unlike Rondo thought he is a relentless attacker who few can keep in front of them. The guy once averaged 20, 5, and 5. He's one of the few 2 guards who can physically outmatch Wade on the perimeter.

I like DMC, I question his maturity although I think it's just him being sick of losing.

Tyreke is RFA this year, are we going to overpay him. I understand his skill set but the dude hasnt been good after his rookie season.

I bet he'll cost the same as Rondo is making right now.

It is too good of a deal to pass though, really.

  If Cousins and Evans were anywhere near what people think they are the Kings would be challenging for a playoff spot. Imagine sending Bradley and Green to the Kings for their best players besides Cousins and Evans. Would you see them as title contenders? Because that's what we would be in a year or two.

actually, you'd probably want to hold off on that deal until you had Smoove locked in long term - he might walk if you traded away his best buddy

I'm on board with the idea of trading Rondo if it means a significantly increased shot at a title this year. So let's just focus on the now, since you're pointing out that Rondo is sidelined and therefore useless in this context.

I like, don't love, Evans. He dominates the ball and can't shoot. He's gotten worse ever year since entering the league, largely because defending him has become A LOT easier -- just give him room, make him shoot. Regardless, could be tricky to integrate with 25 games left, and more importantly, I don't buy that a player like him is needed to win a title. Do we really need a volume scoring guard? I don't see it.

More importantly, Cousins. Yes, skilled and talented. And I don't even care about the Ts. It's how he plays. He's not in good shape. He more or less walks up and down the court. He doesn't really like to get into the post -- prefers to shoot long jumpers. He's a bad defensive player right now. He's very easily distracted by calls and / or baited by opposing players. I think it will take years -- not weeks -- to change the kid. Is he REALLY going to pull himself into line for a title this year? It's a pretty serious stretch to hope for this.

So, what I'm saying is -- if you're going trade Rondo, get guys who are ready now. Ready to battle to the death in a grinding halfcourt series. That's how the Cs will win, if at all. I don't think Cousins is ready.

This is one of the few deals I think you would do for Rondo right now.  Although I don't think Sacramento would do it.

It's certainly risky, but you are bolstering the team with a lot of talent for the stretch run this year, and adding two high upside guys to potentially build around going forward.

I believe in Celtic's management and ownership WAY MORE then I do the Kings. There is evidence that suggests having young guys play around KG and Pierce for a couple years has intangible benefits that can change the course of a player's potential.

Having those two guys around Pierce and Kg for just a couple seasons could change the course of these guys careers as far as professionalism, etc.

The Kings are one of the worst run organizations in Sports. Rondo, Perk, and Baby have all taken lessons and examples they learned from Ray, Paul, and Kg and it's made them better pros. Who has Demarcus or Tyreke had to mentor them? Chuck Hayes? Lol that's a joke.

Cousins and Tyreke at this point aren't ready to lead. Give them a couple years under the tutelage of our veterans in an organization that is very structured with a championship vision and you likely see entirely different players.

There talent along with age makes it worth the risk. Especially for a PG whose game is predicated on speed, quickness, and agility coming off an ACL. Rondo's knees are more vital to his success then most players.

Has Ryen Rusillo been reading CelticsBlog?  Someone suggests that trade once every couple of weeks around here.

  I think it's fairly amusing that blogs like this went from commenting on news about the team to generating news about the team. You'll see questions to Danny or Doc prefaced with "the fans think this" or "the fans are saying" and it's generally what's been the main topic on the blog recently.

Right.  Who needs CSNNE, FSNE, WEEI, ESPN and the like?  We're always one step ahead of all of them.
