    If Rondo is available, I'd love to see our team make a run at him. The tough thing for us is that they'd almost certainly want a decent PG back, and we don't really have one. Well, I guess you could have Steve Blake play defense and fire up threes while Allen/Pierce ran the offense, but that didn't work so hot for us against Houston. You'd really have to get a third team involved.

    Or maybe somebody like Andre Miller is looking for a shot at a championship and is willing to sign on with Boston for the MLE. He'd be a pretty nice fit on that team.

    If Miller were willing to sign with them, maybe Fernandez + our pick for Rondo? That's probably not enough--we'd probably have to deal both Bayless and Fernandez.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Which I'd happily do. That's exactly the type of consolidation trade I've been yearning for.

    A core of Roy/Oden/Aldridge/Rondo/Batum would be remarkable.

    I doubt even that would be enough to tempt Boston - and some Portland fans would have a cow -but I would jump on it.

    All this talk about Rondo being a bad guy is based on a couple of quotes about his rookie year. Big fuzzy duck. I am stil waiting to hear anything current/relevant.

    I like these threads. Watching 44Thrilla freak out is quite entertaining.

    Sorry. It's just hard to believe how ridiculous some of the shit I read on here is.

    Nobody is making you read it, and we aren't the source of all the Rondo trade rumors. If you find those rumors ridiculous, blame the source, not us for posting them here.

    I'm not complaining, just explaining to Fez why it might seem like I'm freaking out.
