If you think Monroe will be sufficient incentive for Rondo to stay, I would be very enthusiastic about trading for him and would be willing to be very aggressive by overpaying for him since we have so many assets and would essentially be able to have two allstar quality players. Unfortunately, I think the Love trade is finally dead for us and this is the next logical player to think about. The problem is that I think they want to keep him and move Josh Smith instead. Smith is not my first choice but you will definitely be able to keep Rondo here since they're best friends and if you can ever get him to play a more disciplined game, he is a terrific talent and our free agent options are becoming more and more limited.
