Rondo isn't going to ask out of Boston just to backup Ellis here and an Ellis/Rondo backcourt brings none of the shooting that we'd need (neither is a great jumpshooter and both need the ball to be effective on the drive)

I don't see an Ellis/Rondo combination as an issue, since there are probably only two scenarios in which we get Rondo: 1) an Ellis-centric trade 2) we sign him outright next summer if Ellis walks.
