Until the Celtics acquire somebody better than Rondo, they are building around Rondo.
Just like I said in my very first post; nothing has changed.
Thanks.
At least now you admit they won't be building or rebuilding around Rondo and just "banking" on him as their franchise player and that they'll try to acquire superstars to replace Pierce, KG, and Allen.
Thanks.

If Rondo remains as good as he is right now, then yeah, it's a bad deal. If he can continue to add to his game in the way Parker has, then it's a great deal.
Man, you've got to pull your act together.
This "He plays with 3 HoFers crap" is just to ridiculous. If Pierce, Ray Allen and Garnett were at their peak, maybe you could have a point. But especially considering the last half third of the reg. season + playoffs of the last season, where he actually stepped up, your argument is simply re ed.
Rondo's supporting cast was basically an ageing Pierce (who most of the times creates his own shot), an old Ray Allen who is arguably out of the top-10 players at his position, a backup 4th big in Glen Davis, a defensive minded role-player in Perkins, a 8th man in House and a 11th man in Scalabrine.
Are you saying this is a great supporting cast? Really? This is the kind of teammates that inflate the stats of a point-guard? An All-Star who isn't by any means a MVP contender or something, a fringe All-Star and hardly a top-10 player at his position, a decent role-player and a couple of scrubs?
Is your hate and stupidity so big that you pretend to convince us that Pierce, Allen, Big Baby, House, Perkins and Scalabrine is the best supporting cast a point-guard in the league may have?
One could argue that considering the existence of primitive cluelless fans who overrate scoring like Allanon and Lakaluva, Rondo's playing in a strict distributor role hurts his value on the public eye. When the Celtics needed his scoring, he stepped up. And his numbers would go up even more if he was able to dominate the ball as much as the typical PG or play at a faster pace that would fit his skill-set more. Plus, he was already averaging 6 assists per 36 as a rookie, playing with a crappy team, with Pierce injured most of the season. Rondo is probably the best defensive PG in the league, the best rebounding one, a great distributor, an excellent passer and a superb finisher at the rim.
Man, everyones taking a shot at Allanon these days, lol.
WTF are you on? Are you even a Boston fan or are you really this stupid?
"Aging" Paul Pierce is putting up 22ppg and gave it to the Hornets just last night. He was a friggin' All-Star Last Year.
"An Old Ray" Allen is still the best spot-up shooter in the NBA. And in case you forget, was an All-Star last year as well.
Perkins is by far one of the best defensive centers in the NBA.
The Celtics have 3 current All-Stars on their team, this is by far one of the best supporting casts in the NBA.
This is THE BEST supporting cast any Top 10 PG has.
CP3 would get 100 assists per game playing with those guys.
The more you talk, the more I realize how ing stupid you are...you give Boston fans a bad name, much better ones here.

Rondo is an absolute monster, this is a great deal for the Celtics. He's not a franchise player but he's going to be a multiple time all-star in his career and is already a top 5 point guard.
First, Garnett wasn't on the roster for a big part of the last season. Accordingly to your bizarre logic, Rondo's production should have declined. It didn't. In fact, the opposite happened. Is this so hard to comprehend?
Second, Ray Allen made the All-Star game because of injuries to other guys.
Perkins is one of the best defensive centers in the league, but how exactly that helps Rondo's offence?
Face it: when a fringe All-Star like Ray Allen is the 2nd best player in your supporting cast and journeymen bench players like House or Davis your 3rd and 4th best players, the guys surrounding you on offence aren't really that good. You should just admit it or say you weren't aware Garnett got injured or that you never knew Rondo averaged 10/6/5 as a starter in his rookie season playing with arguably the worst team in the league.
The Rondo hate is pretty funny, what did he do to deserve it? Average a triple double?
I got attacked in the other thread for saying that, but you're absolutely right.
I guess being a made pussy gets you paid
WTF should his numbers decline? He's playing with 2 ing All Stars you dumb-ass.
You mean Ray Allen was not an All Star? Look it up . Obviously a Boston bandwagoner.Second, Ray Allen made the All-Star game because of injuries to other guys.

You're saying he has a ty supporting cast. I'm saying he has THE BEST absolute supporting cast in the NBA for a Top10 PG.Perkins is one of the best defensive centers in the league, but how exactly that helps Rondo's offence?
Ray Allen is the absolute best spot-up shooter in the NBA. Let's not try to paint it in a different color. There's also Paul Pierce who is Top 3 at his position.Face it: when a fringe All-Star like Ray Allen is the 2nd best player in your supporting cast and journeymen bench players like House or Davis your 3rd and 4th best players, the guys surrounding you on offence aren't really that good.

KG's injury is well known. That doesn't change the fact that Rondo plays with 3 CURRENT All-Stars. NO Top10 PG in the NBA can say that. No Top10 PG has a better supporting cast than Rajon Rondo.
10/6/5 as a rookie. Solid numbers but is that somehow supposed to impress me?
wow...just ridiculous dough...overpaid by a long shot.
I know this has probably been discussed to death but the simple fact that Rondo cannot shoot the basketball limits his effectiveness as a PG unless he is surrounded by All-Star talent. He will become an extreme liability on offense the moment you take away Pierce, KG, Allen, Sheed, House, etc.
I don't really think the Celtics care much about the team beyond this year and next year. They are going for broke, and rightfully so IMHO.
Apparently it is. I tried explaining it yesterday.
Look at some of the most recent extensions/resignings given out, Andrea Bargnani just received 5 years 50 million, Lamarcus Aldridge got 5 years $70 million, and Anderson Varejao received 6 years 50 million. IMO, Rondo at 5 years $55 million gives you more bang for your buck than any of those three contracts.
That's the point I've been trying to make to this idiot since yesterday
lol 15
lol back-pedaler
lol (4) Mavfan to the rescue
He will be making more than Parker made last year when he had a finals MVP under his belt.
One reason the Spurs are successful is that Parker and Ginobili take less than their worth. Parker could easily make more than he makes and don't pretend you don't know that.
a Tad too much.
What is your point?
Uh, no he won't. Next season he'll make $2 million, in the following one $9 million. And in any case, when Parker signed his contract, the cap was lower. He'll be making much more money than Isiah Thomas ever made - what's the point? Only in 12/13 he'll be making as much money as Parker last season.
I had to stop here. You aren't even able to understand what "made the All-Star because other guys were injured" (he was only picked after Jameer Nelson went down) means. I really don't know what else to say.
