gotta agree with this. how come the cavs picked up calderon instead of rondo? i don't want to hear about cap space because we all know gilbert is willing to pay extra for a good chance at success. it's kind of a red flag. how come no one else is seemingly all that interested in rondo? because they know what comes along with it.
and while we're on the subject... how many other players had the kind of problems rondo had with carlisle? has rondo ever played for a coach he didn't have problems with?
the dude's a good player, but we won't have anyone to keep him in check, especially if we trade melo. and even if we keep melo, he wouldn't bother trying to keep rondo in check anyway.
we're already a dysfunctional mess. last thing we need is circus potential for our wonderful NY sports media to feed on.
if we get rondo, fine, but get ready for an infuriating circus sideshow.
if mills was ever really interested in picking up a vet PG to mentor our younger guys then he blew it because there aren't many options left.
if he was never really interested in doing that, and still isn't interested in doing that, then picking up rondo is pointless, ESPECIALLY if the plan is to pick up a high draft pick next summer.
The Cavs sign Calderon because he's cheaper and Calderon is more accurate shooting the 3-ball then Kover.
Plus Calderon needs someone to call the plays for him.
Rondo is not cheap, Rondo shoot inside 15 ft from basket, Rondo's a pass-first PG, that like to pass to players moving without the ball, plus Rondo like to call plays.
Coach Doc Rivers n Boston Big-3 taught Rondo how to take charge of a game n series.
If Rondo didnt get hurt in last season playoffs, Boston would not have gotten pass the first round.
Coach Rick Carlisle has had a bad habit of calling all the offensive-possession plays on the Detroit Pistons which got him fired, plus Rick started doing the same thing in Dallas which made Jason Kidd leave and sign on to the worst mismanagement team in the league (Knicks).
Rondo was not the scape-goat on the Mavs, nor was Rondo the scape-goat on the Kings, and last season it was Rondo's outspoken words that pulled the Bulls team back together to go on a 10-6 run to make the playoff when Butler started blaming Bulls teammates.
If Phil wanted to make the Knicks a winning team then Phil would have traded Tyson Chandler/Felton to Boston for Rondo.
