Our old friend the BU point...

[Guest]

Do we dare trade for or pick up Rondo as our BU point? Dwight and Rondo played together as teens and are good friends. Rondo is a talent but would he be a distraction?

Well, he did connect the dots somewhat on starting and a possible trade moving forward. Really don't see that one since we definitely have our starter. He sounded like Will Smith in "I Am Legend" there for a second.

"I'm Rajon Rondo," he said. "It is what it is."

Lol...agreed. When you speak in the 3rd person, your ego might be too big for the Atlanta Hawks...

Only thing I could see is Dwight wanting to recruit Rajon but then another AAU friend might want in...

[Thomas]

Will absolutely admit that the Hawk's practices would see some serious chippiness at the point.

I think Smoove is say horse remains in that gif....

I'd pass.

Rondo does not pass unless he can get an assist.

He thinks he knows more than his coaches.

Just a bad attitude.

If Dennis avoids that bad trait of being very uncoachable that Rondo has he may get several All Star appearances between his D and the fact he can score so much. That scoring has surprised me and the way there is no fear with the game on the line is going to carry him far. Rondo still can play great often I think but he always acts up and it paves his way out of town it seems.

It would be Dennis and poor man's Dennis now...

Just saw Rondo's stat page and am pretty surprised at how bad it is. Those percentages would doom us in a close game (if he's on the floor of course). Also I thought he was making ten million per but it is indeed fourteen million.

I thought this was going to be a thread about Mack based on the title (who I wish we still had). No to Rondo though, he's a head case.

kg01 described someone to be as crazy as a bag of wet cats. It was a poster but thats not my point here. Hilarious comment by him and may very well apply to Rondo. A lot of static with him.

Rondo has been a detriment to all of his teams .... Dallas, sac and now Bulls can't get rid of him quick enough.

he isn't any good anymore

he is not a good defender anymore and he can't shoot ... easy pass

He can't do that anymore either.

Can someone explain to me what's so wrong with Delaney? He's been awesome from my POV

Assist to turnover is less than two. Shooting less than twenty percent from three. Can't stay in front of much of anyone on defense. Fails the eye test during most games. Some confirmation below.

You need to change your POV.  

He struggles on defense and he can't dribble past anyone....sloooooow.

If he was shooting better it would at least offset his other short comings.
