I think Phoenix would go for this being there are not going anywhere & can get a marquee PG in Rondo who is BOX-OFFICE which is sometimes #1 here in Phoenix over winning. And to get a Nash replacement who can get fans enthusiastic about the rebuilding process could be great as they would have their QB for the next 7-10 yrs. And they get a project center to develope with good long term potential to replace Gortat.
Its good for Boston short term as our time with KG & Pierce is running out. Beasley if he ever gets back to rebounding like he did college & buys into Boston team defense would be a steal if he pans out, but it is a huge gamble I feel worth it in exchange for Bass 2 Bad contracts. I guess the real question is Gortat worth Rondo? I think yes for our situation & Rondo is perfect for theirs as Gortat is not a center who will still be prime in 3-4 yrs when PHX is ready to turn the corner. I would do Jimmer for a 1st rounder because he gives us premier shooting from the PG position & that's what we truly lack at the moment. And Jimmer for a 1st in a weak draft is not a bad idea.
Sacramento does this to help in clearing up a heavy PG problem Brooks,Thomas,Evans,Freddette as they have too many PG's & not enough balls or minutes. And a 1st for a guy who hasn't been what they had hoped is not too bad & they can set their sights on re-upping Evans in Seattle as a fresh start. Maybe even Phoenix takes the 1st rounder & Sac/Sea takes on Melo.
