I don't agree that the Mavs will integrate Rondo instantly and be clicking but then suddenly crash down to earth. I am not sure where that thought comes from? He doesn't even know the offense or players tend yet. I think it will take a few months before they find the right balance of everything. By that point they will have signed another big to replace Wright and the team will be better adjusted.
It is interesting how many pages this thread went tonight and everyones responses. Rondo is literally in a no win situation with some of you. If he plays well, it is 'why wasn't he playing like this when he was here?' If he plays poorly, 'see he will never be as good as 2010-2012 the last time he ever played def and was worth a crap'. Funny how that works.
That's just how some people are here. No matter what happened, they'd hate him for something.
Did Rondo want out? Did he coast his final year? I don't know, but what I do know is if he was unhappy here, he did his post to not show it. He very well could've made it a public spectacle ala Dwight and Melo, but he didn't.
Basically you are calling him fake then. Which is even worse
He also said in the Dallas press conference that he tried and played hard everyday as a Celtic this past season. I mean what a liar
When i see him let guys by him repeatedly and tonight he backpeddles raises his arms to contain the drive, it makes me angry.
I been telling you guys that this is the kind of "detail" he is not doing. Why couldn't he do it? Why couldn't he try harder?
Just when i didn't want to care about this Rondo fiasco anymore, he does things that makes me go "unbelievable".
And if he even made a peep about wanting a trade, you'd probably be the first one here saying how much of a brat he is. You're exactly the type of poster I'm talking about, no matter what way this played out, you'd find something to hate.
Rondo doesn't publicly demand trade = he's fake
Rondo publicly demands trade = he's a jerk
Rondo does well in Dallas = he quit on C's
Rondo doesn't do well in Dallas = he's washed up
Did I cover all the bases?
