What would Rondo be if he was throwing passes all night to Jamaal Crawford, JJ Reddick and Blake Griffin with Deandre Jordan manning the 5? Do you think the C's might be closer to the Clips 9-5 than to their current 4-9?
Rondo may indeed be moved to improve the C's future, but even a trade of Rondo for a superstar like Chris Paul would neither make the C's championship contenders nor the Clips a sub .500 team.
Rondo is a talent -- an assett to any team that could put a strong, experienced team around him. Danny may decide to use Rondo as a trade asset or he can use other assets to build with Rondo. I don't really care which way he goes because I think either approach could work. I just hope he builds a contender in the next 3-5 years.
My opinion, FWIW, is that RR is terrific, unique and, like most very good NBA players, flawed. He is all-star caliber, but not superstar or max contract caliber. Whatever DA decides to do with him, I'm glad we have him.
