Why trade rondo
Well simply because rondo is expendable. Rondo is 28 years old who has just reached his prime. He is currently having one of the worst season's of his career. He is coming of an injury. So it is not the guy's fault.However the celtic's are in a rebuilding mode. That means every asset counts. we need prospects and picks,no one is denying that. The Boston celtic's need a young centerpiece to build off of. Now Rondo is currently not young,everyone knows that. Now the problem people are struggling with is is Rondo a centerpiece. We know he is a great player but can he be a centerpiece. The hardest thing for a player to do,a winner to do is lose.Lose over and over again for a number of years before your team is ready. Paul pierce did that,Kevin garnet did that but Lebron did not. Now is a hard time for the celtic's and the one thing Ainge needs to be is decisive.Rondo is soon to be a free agent and wants max money. Many players have gone for the money and rondo has every right to do so if he wants to. If Rondo walks away for nothing it's on the Gm. We have a good young replacement for Rondo in Marcus Smart. Marcus just needs more playing time which he is currently not getting. I am not an espn insider or basketball guru,I'm just some kid. However, the question you have to ask yourself is "are you 100% sure Rondo can be a good center piece?" With prospects you can say oh maybe one day they can become a centerpiece or we can wait and see. However this is as good as rondo is going to get. The celtic's need to be decisive.They need to make a move. so if you can't answer this question with a yes then Rondo has to be traded. "So,are you 100% sure Rondo can be a good center piece?"
