I hope we resign him at the end of the year.
Love this trade.
NO!
He's a bench dude. You love this trade because you hate Rondo. You and triboy. Everybody who's sane thinks this is a stupid trade and a stupid return.
Wright is nothing more than an energy guy off the bench. And we two players who's practically useless and a pick which is also practically useless.
I can hardly wait to see us play.
We are going to be a better team.
How? by adding another PF in the mix. We will be the same team. But with less star power.
We are a better team without Rondo and with a rim protector.
A rim protector? A RIM PROTECTOR!? Are you serious?
You do realize that Brandan Wright plays against 2nd units right? 1.6 blocks and he's a RIM PROTECTOR?
He's thin, lanky and can't play Center. Just because he averages 1.6 blocks doesnt make him a rim protector.
do you have to be like this??
Go to the "fire Danny" thread and rant there.
We needed a rim protector and Danny finally got a guy that can provide that
Danny provided energy off the bench. Wright is NOT a rim protector. Calling him a rim protector is like calling Kosta Koufos a rim protector.
I'm not going to the Fire Danny thread, I need to see how Marcus Smart turns out first. Im riled up at the fact that people (like you) are pumping up Brandan Wright as a great return when really, he isnt.
We could have traded #9 for the corpse of Walter Brown, and Rondo haters would have found a way to call it an upgrade.
just calm down and enjoy Wright's dunk on Griffin below

Sure.
In the meantime, I'll enjoy what we could have had with Rondo if Danny used our assets and surrounded him with better players than giving him away for a guy who NEVER played 20+ minutes a game in his career.
I think I'll have a much better experience thinking about it than accepting that all we get for Rajon Rondo is a bench player.
Your not being realistic. YOU ARE NOT BEING REALISTIC. I posted before that no team is going to trade Davis, Thompson to us. We could give these teams 3 1st round picks, Sully, KO etc. They will just laugh. FA's like Durant and Aldrige are not coming here also.
So how are you going to surround Rondo with talent to mask his deficiencies?? Or become a contender?
2008 magic only happens like once in a lifetime
We have so many assets, we may not get AD or Klay, but we could get a combination of Monroe Taj Gibson and/or some starter quality players and they will help us to be close, if not, to contention WITH Rondo.
And you're the one who saying Brandan Wright is a rim protector when in his ENTIRE CAREER he wasn't. Who's being unrealistic here?
can you check out his stats . He has multiple 3 shot block games this season. Almost every game he has at least 1 or 2. He will alter your shot , which is something that doesn't come up in the stats department. Guys like Harden can try driving in but will meet the "helicopter" now. Not sully or KO
Also getting a guy like Gibson does nothing for the Celts.
Getting rid of KO, Sully our 1st for Gibson + pair him with Rondo to get where?? Then if Rondo walks, then what?
Think long term
And Brandan Wright and a pick in the mid 20's will do what for us in long term? Brandan Wright plays with the second unit. If he's that good, they wouldnt need Tyson Chandler.
Also, Chris Kaman and Kosta Koufos also had multiple games with 2-3 blocks, guess they're rim protectors too. Heck, I'd take them over Wright because they have legitimate size.
Gibson could just be a start. We have tons of picks and expirings. A core of Rondo, Gibson, Monroe, Green and Smart would be a Playoff team. A few more tinker and that would contend.
What do you get for Brandan Wright and a late first pick? Tell me?
