Yeah, I clearly remember opponents sagging off of Rondo and daring him to shoot from the outside (which killed both his confidence and our team's confidence in him), and the season just unraveled from there... You can't win 4-on-5 in today's offensive-minded NBA -- not with Old Man Dirk as your only go-to scorer, anyway.
Going after Rubio would officially kill the hard-on I have for this upcoming season, especially since whoever we'd have to send to Minny probably has more potential to be an actual difference-maker (Ã* la Crowder-for-Rondo).
