I'd much rather have Avery Bradley.

One question I have about this deal, is there any chance whatsoever that if we make this deal monta agrees to come off the bench and we start either Devin or jae at the 2?

The issue with rondo is that playing him and monta together is a lot like playing him and Jennings together and we saw how that worked

Monta and Jennings didn't work because Jennings felt he needed to shoot 15-20 times a game. He had to get his. That's not Rondo at all. Rondo doesn't need to shoot, Rondo doesn't want to shoot. You won't have to worry about Rondo taking a contested 3 with a man open in the corner.

There's a big difference between a player who needs the ball a lot to facilitate and a player that needs the ball a lot to score. Rondo is a facilitator, through and through. He will ALWAYS make the extra pass and he will ALWAYS hit the open man. That's the complete opposite of Brandon Jennings.

I would LOVE to see Ellis come off the bench. He would be amazing in an instant offense role. Unfortunately he is probably going to opt out and be a free agent at the end of the year and accepting a 6th man role would cost him a ton of money on his next contract

Would you rather see Devin start, in part, because of his improved three point shooting?
