    Rondo CAN'T shoot.....that's what makes his game that more amazing!

    If I'm Rondo, I spend every free moment of rehab working on my shooting. How awesome would he be if he were even an average shooter?

    Rondo's 16-23 is 48% for this yr, however his career avg is way below that, also i believe he is assisted at that range at almost twice the rate Lillard is

    Re: Would your trade Lillard for Rondo?

    It's still interesting. At least, I find it interesting when players/coaches get a reputation but the numbers refute that reputation. I bought into it - I thought Rondo was a terrible shooter, but he shoots far better from LMA's "sweet spot" than LMA does. I find that quite interesting - Rondo has a reputation as a terrible shooter, LMA has a reputation as a terrific shooter, yet Rondo bests LMA by 10% from said "sweet spot".

    Okay. I'm not disparaging Lillard - I was just very surprised to see that Rondo has a better FG% than Lillard anywhere away from the rim. Never would have guessed it.

    HIS 16-23 AVG THE PREVIOUS 4 YRS WAS PROBABLY NEAR 38%, AND KEEP IN MIND THOSE "ASSISTED" LEVELS

    Okay. I understand that. I'm not arguing here, just thought it was interesting that Rondo isn't nearly as terrible shooter as his reputation suggests.

    Man, even when I try to post something that seems controversial, nobody responds...

    Lillard/Hickson/Freeland for Rondo/Sullinger/Melo. Anyone else down?

    With Rondo AND Melo Portland might be one of my least favorite teams. Lol

    I can't get Trade Machine to work at work.

    As for that trade, you should be horsewhipped for even considering it.

    I think he's talking about Fab Melo.

    Exactly.

    I just want to see if MM's head would explode if our center corps consisted of one white American, and one dude fro Syracuse.

    Dunno. If it makes us bad enough to keep our pick this year, and we draft another promising guard (like CJ McCollum, or Trey Burke), and then Rondo gets healthy, we'd have a decent rebuild going.

    I thought you meant Anthony, and you'd have to lobotomize and smother me a la R.P. MacMurphy if Rondo AND Anthony donned the Scarlet & Black.

    I wouldn't for a second. SO far, Lillard has proven that he can stay on the court with heavy minutes (knock on wood). I'm still amazed that he isn't getting into foul trouble. I mean he is still a fucking rookie man!

    Lillard is going to surprise is with a huge leap next year. He's going to be the unquestioned franchise player in year 2.

    Don't be insulting. They have fine cash registers at Fantasy Video.
