I agree that Rondo is not a franchise player. There are few of those in the NBA today.
Lebron James
Kevin Durant
Carmello Anthony
Kobe Bryant
Chris Paul
James Harden
Dwayne Wade
Thats it. Others have potential to be one: Griffin, Westbrook, Love.
Others are either stripped by injuries or age: Howard (when he had his full athleticism, he could carry a team), Dirk, Garnett, Pau Gasol (he was the best low post player in the NBA for 2-3 years), Pierce, Duncan, Kidd, Nash.
this just goes to show how difficult it is to get a franchise player. And without one or even 2, it is extremely hard to win a title.
A person could make a case for Parker, Ray Allen in his prime, Vince Carter in his prime.
