    Dunn is going to lose them some games.

    Rondo doesn't fit today's NBA anymore. Ball dominant guard who can't shoot? It's just not the way teams are winning. I'm interested to see where he ends up. Wherever it is, it's likely as a backup. I could see him going to Cleveland or something and take Deron Williams's spot.

    i actually think he's still an effective player.

    just such a headcase. i really think had he stayed healthy, the bulls beat boston easily in the playoffs last year. and yet they're planning on waiving him to play/keep him away from younger players.

    can't imagine what he must be like on a day-to-day basis for teams to want rid of him so desperately.

    I didn't mean he was a bad player, just not a great fit anymore with league trends and if he's a malcontent then I'm not sure what he does to get on a roster. I mean the Kings of all people weren't happy with him. Who needs an older, slightly injury prone PG that pounds the rock, doesn't play defense the same way he used to, and is not fun to be around? Detroit? Minnesota?

    My other thought was go rebuild his value in Cleveland. Try to rebuild his value as a "winning veteran".

    Yeah it's hard to think of a situation where he's a starter.

    This is where he should go. He'll end up signing with the Suns or something.

    Rondo to Minny ? Not sure why else they'd trade Rubio.

    I think they'll make a play at Lowry, Teague or Hill.

    rondo can still be effective

    coming off the bench in CLE is the best fit for him
