    I know Rondo's injury is pretty serious but I think he'll comeback just fine. So would you trade a multiple time all star, potential hall of famer for the favorite to be Rookie of the Year?

    Even if Rondo wasn't injured I'd say no. It would be tempting but I like Lillard. He already has a better outside shot and I think he will grow to put up similar assist numbers.

    I think Lillard fits our other players better (his shooting) and Stotts offense. Plus at this point, his cheap contract for 3 more yrs aftet this yr is a huge plus, especially given the level he is already playing/producing at. No, keep Lillrd, no brainer.

    It's a very easy no with the injury. Still a likely no prior.

    No. Rondo doesn't seem to be very well liked by his teammates

    Before his injury I would have been tempted, but after his ACL, no thanks.

    Re: Would your trade Lillard for Rondo?

    Yeah, not after an injury. I really like Rondo though - terrific defense, good rebounder, excellent passer, and just a tough player in general. But I'm not interested in trading a ROY for an injured player.

    Interestingly, Rondo shoots better than Lillard except from 23'+ and the 3'-9' range.

    Lillard is now one of the best assets in the NBA with his great play and rookie contract for THREE MORE YEARS

    Rondo shoots 24% fom 3, Lillard 36%, Rondo is a crappy outside shooter, anywhere outside of 15ft Lillard kicks his ass

    No.

    I really, really, really, really, hate his inability to shoot. It fucks up an offense in ways you can't begin to count.

    Rondo is so good in all other areas it almost makes up for it - ALMOST.

    Nope, the only thing you can do with an oddball talent like Rondo is build the team around him - and I have no interest in doing that.

    He might come back "fine", but there is a pretty good chance he will never be as dominant as he was pre-surgery. And, he a something of a head-case/looker room distraction.

    No thanks.

    Re: Would your trade Lillard for Rondo?

    You know why that is right?

    Because Rondo's defenders are standing still 6 feet away from him when he is taking a jumper, and Lillard's defender is flying at him with their hand to his face.

    Re: Would your trade Lillard for Rondo?

    I'm assuming this was in response to my post.
    The numbers are as follows:

    Rim: Lillard - 57.8% Rondo - 62.1%
    3-9': Lillard - 42.3% Rondo - 39.1%
    10-15': Lillard - 31.8% Rondo - 37.5%
    16-23': Lillard - 44% Rondo - 48%
    23'+: Lillard - 35.8% Rondo - 24%
