For good or for worse Rondo loves to drive and kick for jumpers and Melo loves to take open, or not, jumpers more than anyone in the game.



You said it yourself, who loves to take long 2's more than Melo?

Rondo would have that team wrapped around his finger in no time. Amare would love playing w/ him as well. I've soured on Rondo overall but that's a good fit in all ways IMO.

Another bonus - he's not Asian. Seems to be a factor in that locker room
Disagree strongly with all this.

Rondo would be a horrible fit on the knacks. The last thing they need is a ball dominant PG who can't shoot and loves to setup long 2s. Knicks are at their best with Melo drawing a ton of attention with his isos, a bunch of passes between him and their good 3pt shooters/playmakers, and chandler patrolling the paint. If Rondo had the ball instead of melo, then there would be 1 less person guarding him from 3 and 2 less (from smart teams) from long 2. Not to mention Tyson is useless where Garnett is hitting jumpers at an elite % and would clog up rondo's only efficient scoring area.

Also, Melo's bbiq is way higher than rondos. And who cares how he fits with amare.

Felton, Kidd (pablo), Smiff, Melo, Chandler>>>>>>> any lineup with rondo

Btw who is the nets backup PG
Kidd prob should just player coach like 5-10 min a game and get another coach for sure right ?
06-29-2013 , 05:23 AM
I don't know just google that sh*t Kid

BTW I found your Pierce post to be quite entertaining.
06-29-2013 , 06:20 AM
Hah good
In right tho right
Their team is legit good. They have outside chance title equity
Get a real coach and have Jkkdd as backup PG for. an elite PG that plays almost the whole game


Sometimes it really is simple s it seems

Atlanta will either have home court in the playoffs with CP3/D12+ or they'll be a 15 win team team imo. How do they get to the 8 seed? Williams is out for most of the season, right? And pretty much the whole rest of their roster are FAs.

what do you guys think about rondo to indiana?

Oh yeah, even if you downgrade the Wiz to like the 6 or 7, a lot of people are high on Cleveland/Washington making the playoffs. And they have more star power so I understand, but IMO the Magic are getting overlooked here.

If they make that AAA deal, their lineup is gonna be all <25 and stacked:
Vuc
Harris/Nicholson
Harkness
Victoro
Bledsoe

That's 6 legitimate NBA players still on their rookie deals. That is a hell of a turnaround from losing D12.

Horford's still a pretty sick player to build around, and the East is thiiiiiiin. It's not gonna take that much to beat out Toronto, Milwaukee, and Detroit. 35 wins might get the job done.

ORL is doing nice work but they are still firmly a lotto team even w/YOUNGBLEED

This is such a ridiculously over-the-top reach here. I said absolutely nothing close to resembling this, and you're 100% putting words in my mouth.

I said that 5 teams passing on the "consensus #1 pick" and then the 6th team choosing to trade him for marginal value means that new information concerning Nerlens Noel has come to light and it should cause us to reconsider our previous thoughts on him. You then went on some tangent about us vs GMs that had nothing to do with what I was saying, and you're bringing it up again now.

For some reason you seem to think that us being better than most GMs on average(something I do believe) prevents us from ever changing our views based upon how GMs act. I disagree with that. I think there are plenty of times when GMs have more information than us and the way they act can educate us.

Olynyk has plenty of upside considering the slot and other available players, he could achieve randerson level of good
Strongly disagree. RAnderson has been a positive defender, and I fail to see how Olynyk isn't a massive negative there.

Not to mention that the celtics have plenty of upside between their own picks and all of the unprotecteds.
I don't see why there should be a limit on upside guys. Guys who can contribute immediately are actually -EV for the Celtics since it hurts their Wiggins equity.

Hope this doesn't spark an entire new Kevin Love debate, but I'm pretty confident that Ryan Anderson is not a good defender.
