Force Rondo to become a jumpshooter and he's useless.

I agree my idea might be totally nuts, and Rondo plays on a great team, but that's part of why I think he could be special on a team like SA. Though as I've said right now we need the scoring more than his ball distribution skills.

But he is a big part of Boston doing well -- look at them without him on the floor. They really struggle to score. I don't think he's overrated.

Plus, you can't take him out of the game by making him shoot jumpers any more. It was that way last season, but he's shooting 50% this year and that's nothing to spit at for a guard.

Gimme Rondo and Pierce too. Seriously, that is bullshit.

I think he could. He's humble and coachable. That's usually the issue when you try to convert a small SG. They're stone gunners for the most part.

Now for the kicker: I don't think he has to. The Spurs haven't had a pure-play PG since AJ left in 2001. They need:

a) someone to bring the ball up - check
b) someone to break down the defense and get to the rack - check.

word. good point.

i think pop's system works best with combo guards who can score and are functional ball handlers

Let's trade Tim Duncan for Travis Outlaw too!

Ugh heh. Sorry but that is an awful trade.

Rondo is a solid point guard but Tony Parker is vastly superior in nearly every aspect of the game. If TP was on a team without Duncan or Manu (where he'd be the main man) he'd be a superstar. Rondo isn't on that level. He's by no means bad and I don't agree with some of the people that depreciate his value just by saying he plays on a great team (hell, thats what a lot of people used to say about TP also), but he just doesn't have anything close to the offensive game the Parker has.

Manu Ginobili for Von Wafer.

Very close to one of the worst threads I have ever read.

Wow.

Hell no !!!

Rondo will never be as good as Tony Parker.

This begins to compete with the oldies but goodies like some of whott's -- (e.g. where he and another poster name call each other and it leads to suicide discussions).

:nope

got damn, I am going to have to quit coming here.... shit.. man..

Analogous to the incomprehensible trade of Tony Parker for Rajon Rondo.

Rondo doesn't have the talent to be something more than a role player.

And let's trade Gooden for Kendrick Perkins

Yeah great ideas you got there

Gooden is more versatile than Perkins

Perkins and his stare owns Gooden's defense.

if we were inheriting perkins' contract situation vs. gooden's then its a no-brainer for perkins.

but i think even in a neutral contract situation you take perkins. he's so much younger and very good defensively and even a little bit bigger. his rebounding is pretty much the same as gooden's though you have to think it'll get better as he matures more. the same with his offense. he has some decent post moves that will get better as be develops.

again, i'll admit i'm wrong about the rondo-parker thing but gooden for perkins is a no-brainer to take perkins, right? young big 7 footers who can defend and score a little bit don't fall out of the sky....

Interesting points.


Then let's change the title of this thread


Gooden for Perkins !!!!

There is a reason why Perkins and Rondo were not traded for Ray Allen or Kevin Garnett.

Wow..you've got to be kidding me. Do you watch basketball? Let's see...one guy who's a rebounder, who is a good offensive threat, and can create his own shots on the block, or the other guy, who's a thug and likes to hurt people..wow..this is a tough one. Please tell me you're not serious.
