Danny's a very smart GM and is looking to the future. I have to agree that by trading Rondo, while his value is at an all-time high, he can get alot of value for him in return. Rondo still has tremendous upside and he will continue to improve and be an all-star player.
I love Rondo's game, his tenacity, defense, and court vision has been what we have needed from the point guard position since trading away Chauncy Billups. But the combination of Rondo coming up for a Max. contract next summer of possibly 10+M per season & Rubio being available may be enough to change
directions.
Having said that, I have seen international games with Ricky Rubio and this player is also a stud.
If we get in return Rudy Gay, who I believe can supplant Paul Pierce in his starting roll 3 years from now, and Darko Milicic
in the deal, we will have added depth at the 1/3/4/5 positions.
Then aquire through the MLE Gortat or Matt Barnes.
Your thoughts?
