Rondo?

[EricaLubarsky]

Love Rondo, just doesn't fit with Ellis. He'd actually be pretty decent with Calderon, because Calderon can make great hockey assists and is absolutely killer from three. We'd be small defensively at the guard position with a 6'1" guy and a 6'3" guy out there, but Rondo can guard PGs and SGs.

I just don't know what it would take and I'm also a little concerned with what is between Rondo's ears and how healthy he will be this year.

Still, if we could trade Ellis and spare parts for Rondo, pick up a stronger center this summer in free agency and a few younger guys like Crowder step up, that could be a decent playoff team. Rondo's been called a lockerroom cancer, but he's never played a game in his life at less than 100%.

Actually Sports Guy is always going on about how Rondo just doesn't bother to show up for entire games and you can tell within the first 5 minutes if he is at all invested. Also garnered a rep as an overated at times downright blase defender. Obviously he's a hell of a playoff competitor(even though he was passive to the point of being detrimental in the Finals loss to the Lakers- he was also much younger then)
