awful....we are giving up too much and Rubio is overrated
U mean too little???** No way Rondo, Kelly Olynyk and some late picks in the 1st & 2nd round gets Boston Rubio, Vucevic, and Dieng...
This, also this:
Rondo would never agree to extend in Minnesota.
And:
If Dieng is going to be an all-star center then I doubt Minnesota trade him for an expiring Rondo. The Magic are already talking about extending Vucevic
Oh and it's BrookLYN. Brookline is a neighborhood just outside of Pittsburgh.
Contrary to what Flip has said this off-season Minnesota is in rebuilding mode. We have the same goals as them and in most cases that will make our goals mutually exclusive. Their roster is a little better and we have a deeper cache of picks but really we're in the exact same space.
Teams that might be interested in Rondo include:
Charlotte (trying to take the next step)
LA Lakers (last chance with Kobe)
Indiana (notable PG upgrade)
Sacramento (notable PG upgrade)
I left out teams like Dallas and Houston because they are asset poor and don't have young players to offer for Rondo. I also left out teams like Milwaukee because Rondo likely won't resign there, although that might go for Indiana/Charlotte too.
My guess is that Rondo will either end up in a huge market (LA/NY) or stay here. Sadly Minnesota has as little to offer Rondo as we do. It makes no sense to send him there, for either side.
