If we have to let Smart walk and we need to fill that 6th man guard role, I hope we pick up Rondo. His comments last night referring to Boston as home and all of the we's he used like he's still part of Boston really hit home for me. He'd be a perfect 6th man here to compliment our stars and would give the bench a reliable facilitator.
If only he’d played like he wanted to remain a member of the Celtics.I loved championship Rondo. I hated lazy pending free agent Rondo.

I hated lazy pending free agent Rondo.Rondo is a quirky dude. He plays well on teams that have a chance, and checks out when the team stinks.As long as the Celtics are relevant, I would take him. Once we're back to being mediocre/worse, Rondo is useless.The Celtics are in first place in the east. He would be a useful player for this team.
I can't tell you how much my consistent enjoyment of watching, following, and talking about the Celts has increased since Rondo left.There are some complicating factors there, but I really don't miss the Rondo era.

The problem comes with having to fulfill those 'if' statements. I doubt Rondo can do all of that
Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples while judging ourselves by our best intentions.
