    I don't really know. I really like Rondo and I think it's as good a trade for the Celtics as they'd find and I think Rondo, Lillard, Wes, LA, Rolo would be awesome.

    I'd consider trading TRob only if we keep Nico instead.

    ummm... there's literally no reason to do this.

    I thought they didn't serve alcohol before 7 am.

    You go with 5 guards: Rondo, D-Lill, Wes, Blake, Barton
    and 5 bigs: LA, RoLo, Kaman, Freeland, TRob
    FTW

    No.

    And I'm not the biggest Batum fan.

    I admit that I am a pretty big homer but it would take an absolute superstar for me to break up the starters. And Rondo is not it. I'm talking LBJ or Durant and MAYBE a few others to consider it

    In terms of straight on-the-court stuff, it would be intriguing. It may or may not work, but there's a lot of skill and pieces there that would be intriguing.

    Some of the backstory on the dude himself...let's just say that while he would "Keep Portland Weird", I'm not sure it's in the team-/city-building way you want.

    I can't take it anymore! We have too many fucking players!! TRob, Claver, even fucking Meyers Leonard, are good enough to play, but there are 4 bigs ahead of them. Do you want me to start hoping for injuries?!
    Then even Alan fucking Crabbe turns out to be a player and we need CJ and Batum out for Barton to even get minutes. Good thing we still have Dorrel Wright cause this is fucked up!

    I know Crabbe was a decent fill in but we don't have a starter caliber SF to replace Batum. You trade Batum we need another trade to bring us a starting caliber SF. Hmmm Wes could play SF a lineup of Rondo/Lillard/Mathews/LA/Lopez could be damn good. Not sure if Lillard would thrive playing constantly off the ball but its an idea.

    But you don't know man!!!! We suck and must trade to get better!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our 8-3 record is a mirage! We haven't beaten any good teams! Lillard can't play the big game! Aldridge is a role player. Batum is a selfish me first guy! Matthews will get MAX this summer! Our owner is a cheap bastard! Our fan base needs more!!!!!
