Rondo?

Well as long as Houston isn't getting him, then I wouldn't be too upset if we didn't. We clearly need a better starting pg since the FO won't start Harris. I'm quite optimistic there will be a plethora of talent available at the deadline. Maybe not Rondo's talent, but certainly something better than Nelson.

Adding on to this...we really don't need a great starting pg. Just someone who can defend better than Nelson or Ellis.

What we need is a guy who can defend both guard spots, rebound better than most guards, and hit an open 3. Rondo gives us two of those three things. Is there anyone out there who can do all three of those things that we could conceivably get at a reasonable price?

It's really too bad Jason Kidd isn't just a few years younger. Kidd circa 2011 would have been perfect next to Ellis.

Ha, Ellis was Jet in 2011.

Pretty much. We haven't had an actual shooting guard since Michael Finley. Just undersized "combo" guards.

Gary Neal! We could probably get him for a 2nd rounder at the deadline if we wanted, right? Not like a 6-19 team benefits from having a 30 year old on their roster.

Not sure if serious.
