Rondo seems to be shopped so often, that it makes no sense to build round him, and none of the pieces of Bradley, Green, DJ fit him IMO

 

[Notorious]

Rondo's shopped because Danny knows how much value he has and he wants to see what teams are willing to offer for Rondo.

To be honest I don't what to expect as far as Rondo's position on the roster goes. As much as I'd like to see him stay, I wouldn't be shocked if he's no longer in Boston by this time next year.

And I agree that Rondo/Bradley/Green/Sullinger/Jordan is just an awful lineup. Might play some solid defense but it would get really ugly on offense. Really ugly. And I want no part of Josh Smith. None. He plays solid defense but he's a dumbass, will probably get overpaid and is a massive chucker.

Green seems to have money on Miami

I would personally take a guy like Rondo for Dwight, but that's only because I believe Rondo would be ok with Kobe on O and Pau at C as opposed to PF. That and it is cap heaven. I think I'd be happy if Dwight said he wanted to play with Durant and they amnestied Perk, then did a st for Russ.

Going to be interesting to see how reload vs rebuild works for LA and Boston this time around. They've always used two different approaches, but Dr Buss ain't here to get it done

 

[SAIYANS]

My thinking
me: Spurs still in it as long as they don't give it to green or ginobli...
me: WTF? Parker is out of the game?!
me: They give it to ginobli. That won't end well.

It didnt end well either, Manu and Green singlehandedly chucked or tossed away the damn title in games 6 and 7

Nothing but respect for Bron. He stepped up. Not only that this Miami team did something no team but the Bulls Celtics and Lakers know about ... 3 straight finals and successfully defend your title.

 

[PHX]

Manu need to contemplate retirement after that garbage

 

[Heisenberg]

Man wish Spurs would of won that, felt they deserved it so much more and they probably should of won it in game 6. Feel sorry for Duncan, the classiest player in the NBA. But congrats to the heat, going back 2 back is impressive. Fuck Ginoboli tho.

 

[SAIYANS]

Manu need to contemplate retirement after that garbage

Nash, Fisher, and Manu all need the decency and self respect to do what Kidd did when he stunk it up so bad these playoffs

and boy did I call law of averages fucking Greens 3pt shot or what

 

[PHX]

Yeah Nash needs to call it a career and Fisher should have retired like 4 years ago. I don't get why Parker didn't have the ball in his hands in the clutch. This game does a lot for Lebron's legacy though and should put to bed the whole he can't come up in the clutch thing with how he's performed esp owning in as high of a pressure situation you're gonna get with a game 7 with the championship on the line.

They dared him and wade to fuckign shoot even when they were hitting ... Pop needed to be shot

 

[PHX]

Was def not something I was expecting Pop to do because it was obvious Lebron wasn't hesitating to shoot this time and it was paying off.

 

[SAIYANS]

He did it to both guys though. I mean they contested Bosh and gave both Wade and LeBron the shot. Between that, benching Tony, and not putting his foot up Manu and Danny's asses he handed it to them.

I swear this game 7 felt more like SA beat itself than LA/Boston beating each other.

 

[Slim]

Tim Duncan played hard... he was ballin in that game like... oh snap he could carry this team to the win. But when he missed that hook shot and the put in... I was like... oh man the Heat got it now.

I needed the Heat to win anyways... I bet on the Heat winning

 

[PHX]

The Clippers have an agreement in principle for Doc Rivers that includes an unprotected 2015 first-round pick going to the Celtics, according to Yahoo! Sports.

So guess if the Clippers are going to try and get KG and/or Peirce it'll have to be in a different deal. Great coaching pick up for the Clippers.

 

[Slim]

But would the Clippers really benefit from having Pierce or Garnett? Well besides from a leadership perspective
