His best route to winning is to figure things out in Dallas...He is in a perfect situation there and has solid weapons surrounding him that he can use to boost his assist numbers and help continue to improve his defense. I mean, its a stretch but the outlook of the Mavs can be mirrored to the 08 Celtics starting five.

Rondo - Rondo
Ellis - Allen: Ellis is a better scorer and handles to ball more but Allen's job was simply to score the basketball. Allen spaced the floor better but I see their basic roles similar.
Parsons - Pierce: Obviously Pierce was much better here but again, Parsons job is to provide the Mavs with a scoring punch and he can mimic some of Pierce's role in that light.
Dirk - KG: Obviously Dirk is the offensive veteran version to KG's defense but both are the veteran leaders who space the floor for Rondo to feed.
Perk - Chandler: The defensive anchor. Tyson is a much better option than Perk but Tyson also doesn't have KG holding down the fort.

Its a stretch but there is no reason it can't work.

That being said...I think Rondo wants the big city spotlight and I see the Lakers in his future.

I'm not sure that Rondo=Rondo though. 
Yup
