I would love this move but I don't think Rondo has any value since he's been exposed as a role player to everyone. If we could get G-Money back that would be awesome. Never should have traded him.
I will agree that his value is down. I don't really think its that he has been exposed as a role player because he always has been one. I have mentioned in previous posts that some really good players like Rondo, Noah, Chandler, Shawn Marion are elite or allstar level role players. In the past Ben Wallace was an allstar role player, Rodman is a hall of fame role player. On their own these players lack the complete skill set to carry a team but they can thrive in complementary roles. I think Rondo's trade value is down because he is a FA and he will have the final say if he stays or goes next off-season.
I do think Rondo has enough value to make this trade happen.
Look at it very basically.
Rondo + Plumlee + Tucker
(>,=,<) Hibbert, Scola, loto protected 1st?
I say Rondo Tucker and Plumlee are more valuable.
Thomas + Len + Plumlee + G Green + 1st (prob 15-20)
(>,=,<) Hibbert + Green + Pressey + a good 2nd rd pick
This one is close because of potential but in terms of talent on the court today Hibbert and Green are clearly better.
