Don't know if theoretical trade threads are frowned upon or not, but I was watching the Celtics game tonight and listening to them talk about how good Rondo is.
And I agree, so would you trade or approve of a trade of Tony Parker for Rajon Rondo, straight up?
My thoughts:
Rondo's younger and cheaper and likely to get better.
But Parker is a championship-winning stud who's playing the best ball of his career right now.
I would be in favor of it, though I think its an incredibly close argument.
In posing the question, I'm considering it not just as a "who's better?" argument but who you would rather have as a franchise, including age, salary, prospects for improvement, etc.
What do you think?
I wouldn't trade Parker for three Rondos.
This might be the worst thread ever.
For Rondo? No
For Ronda? Yes
no. Rondo is like Parker used to be: no shot, and out of control. He's a decent fourth option for Boston.
Really? He's gotten so much better and he's still really young.
He's developed a jump shot and that will only get better, plus he's a very good defender and is the PG of a championship winning, veteran laden team.
Maybe I love him too much and maybe my Spurs fan membership card should get pulled for it, but for some reason I like this.
In the context of our immediate needs, I guess we need Parker's scoring more....ok I'm starting to hate my own argument....
Not only no but no. We might have our own Rondo in the near future backing up Tony.
Rondo for TP? Hah
More like G-Hill for Rondo?
There is only one relevant fact: Rondo could never carry the team like Parker is now, and we need that with Manu and Tim getting older. He's more or less a blue collar lunch bucket guy. Tony's a ing Ferrari. You pay for that, and there aren't many available.
Is there some way, we can thumb up threads, or thumb down threads, and give the posters with the best threads and posts, some kinda reward like an extra spur or something after tallying posts every month? that would be kind of interesting.
NO! You're ing crazy dude. Rondo will NEVER be even CLOSE to as good as Tony is now.
ok i'm willing to admit i'm coming out of left field here.....but think about it as part of a plan for the future....not that we'd make the trade today, but during this offseason....Is there some way, we can thumb up threads, or thumb down threads, and give the posters with the best threads and posts, some kinda reward like an extra spur or something after tallying posts every month? that would be kind of interesting.
Plus we already have George Hill.
No!But you were brave for asking
Trade out Rondo for Parker the last month and the Spurs would be scoring about 75 points per game. Rondo is a good player but he's overhyped due to being on a very good team. He's a better defender than Parker ... but that's about it. And his type of gambling, pressure defense doesn't really jive with Pop's bend-but-don't-break defensive philosophy.
Give Hill a couple of years and he may very well be a nice Rondo clone.
you think Hill can develop those pure point ball distribution type skills rondo has?
In fact I'd say George hill is a better scorer than rondo when given the same touches and court time....
BTW, I give credit to VI_Massive for at least having a solid opening post. Don't think many will agree but it was much better than the crazy thread le followed by a link to the ESPN trade machine that is flame-worthy.
By comparison, this is a good thread.
Rondo's overrated. I wouldnt even trade Hill.
Rondo is only doing so well because he has 3 superstars on his team. I dont get why ESPN gets on his nuts so much.
Force Rondo to become a jumpshooter and he's useless.
Well its ok I wasnt making it personal, you are free to make threads here, thats the best part. I was just thinking about that rating system and thought it might be interesting
NO. That is all....
Wtp?
what the ?!?!?!
