Rajon Rondo Discussion: He's A Cleveland Cavalier

I'm sick and tired of this bum.

I'm glad the Lakers realize though - looking for specifically a backup PG when we have 4 PG's says that they do not believe in Rondo.

I hope to GOD we trade his a**.

 

Rondo should just donate his ankles to Avery Bradley and ride off into the sunset...never to be heard from again

 

He needs to be part of a trade where he's a candidate to get bought out by the team receiving him and then he's free to sign with another contender

What I can see happening is Lakers trade Rondo in a bigger package -he gets bought out, and then if we sign Collison, the Clippers will settle on Rondo.

 

...and he'll go playoff rondo on us...

honestly, we're stuck with him. and unless we sign or trade for an obvious upgrade, we're stuck with him actually playing. sad part is that when he wasn't available, none of the other guards stepped up and demonstrated that they could do any better managing the game. i was hoping caruso or bradley or even cook would show that they could play 12-15 credible minutes as a pg, but they're all sgs. we'll have to address that sooner or later.

 

I still think Caruso could if given minutes there but he hasn’t been so far. When Rondo was out he was brought in at SG with often Cook at the point. Not like his handles are too poor to take care of the ball with the smart way he plays. More time doing it would let him get better at it. Not a “lot” of TOS or having the ball stripped. Conservative and solid fundamental passer. In Rondo’s roll with a longer leash the team would be better and he would of get better at it. Add Collison. Boom, done.

 

That's all true. My point more is AC playing the point with the tools he has, which would most likely get better with playing time, would be better than Rondo doing it or any of our other guards who have tried it. We wouldn't be losing leads as much with Caruso playing back up point.

 

So. Good.

 

8 points, 10 assists, +19 in only 23 minutes



I didn't watch tonight, but how did he look?

 

It's the Knicks. I would be more worried than ever if he couldn't at least get the above mentioned.

 

He played with more pace - the Lakers were initiating action with more time on the 24 second clock...

Good game, too. I hope this gets him going...

 

Well Lebron was doing that at the start of the season... and suddenly like a switch he stopped making those sloppy or risky passes. One game he had 16 assists and one turnover. Unfortunately last night he was back to his old tricks.

I'm hoping Rondo follows LBJ's lead and tightens up his careless passing... because it isn't a lack of skill or vision that makes him turn the ball over... it's the same arrogance that LBJ sometimes has knowing he's one of the best passers in history.

Difference is that LBJ makes up for his mistakes in other categories.

Rondo has one job and he needs to be good at it. Doesn't matter if you make one or two spectacular passes if you throw the ball away the next possession.
