Celtics: Rondo has torn his ACL

[timtonymanu]

I hate Rondo, but that sucks, tbh.

if JR Smith is his All-Star replacement.

[jeebus]

Was he going for his 10th rebound when it happened ?

from what I heard, he was all alone on a fast break but flung himself onto the floor when he was going for a layup. since none of his teammates were trailing and he couldn't pass for an assist, he didn't know what to do.

It better be Jennings or Lopez

[TIMMYtoZO]

Pacers can beat them but honestly teams like SAS , Memphis or OKC is too mucch for the Heat in the finals IMO

Thinking any team is good enough to take down a healthy Miami squad in a playoff series

The heat would be like the 5th seed in the West lol

He was roller skating

[thunderup]

God I hate Battier. He always jumps under the opposing player just before the contact is there. Absolute bull of a call.

Actually, I would have easily put my house on bets for Spurs last year if it was Spurs-Miami...

OKC and Clippers can. Lakers probably also can when healthy.

Absolute bull of a call.

If you can package Sullinger or Bradley to get rid of Jets and/or Green's contract. You do it.

Meh, no point in that. They just signed Green, and management is in love with him for some reason. If we get rid of those four players, we won't have any future whatsoever besides Rondo. Pierce comes off the books this year; we should be able to resign him for slightly less than his current contract.

[StrengthAndHonor]

Knicks too btw.

Heat playing in a historically weak ass conference
Heat having literally two byes, maybe three this year to the finals

[Grit and Grind]

Memphis can easily take down the Heat ....

He consistently got that call last year in the finals. It's bull .

Your future would be the returning players in this deal which I'm assuming would be quality since Ainge is not that bad assessing talents.

Celts off season is going to be fun

[Captivus]

Fantasy season just took a hit tbh..

Barbosa?

[jeebus]

it's going to be a fire sale tbh. Garnett's going back to Minny, Pierce will have some mysterious surgery and just retire, and everyone else will be put on notice. Ainge is gonna rebuild around the dream that is post surgery Rondo and Jeff Gren.

Assuming the Celtics want to dump Terry

Garnett + Terry for Jackson, Bonner, Green, Mills/Joseph + picks.

Celtics dump two big contracts, get a young capable shooting guard on a good contract and a decent backup big.

I'm sure someone else could put together a better package though.

The Celts would be dealing from a position of weakness, which would hurt their bargaining power. And I'm not sure how you can say that Jet and Green are horrible contracts they need to get rid of, while saying Ainge is great at assessing talent

[LakerHater]

Hes a Point Foward?

Evaluating young talents is one thing. Offering a contract sheet is another.

[Richie]

Green is only 26, no reason to trade him if the Celtics go in to rebuilding. They have veteran assets to trade for picks and young talent for the future.
