Pacers up 2 against Clips in the 4th.

Every win counts in the Western Conf.

Hmmmm... He has lots of weapons to pass to like he did with the Big 3 in Boston. He has championship experience and he's way better than Nelson/Felton.
 
Ugh. Rockets are tough. OKC should've given Harden the money. I'd be so pissed if I was an OKC fan. Id never get over it.

West would be in trouble if that was the case. To think the Thunder basically chose Perkins over Harden.

I think Rondo would fit in with Dallas perfectly, put a bunch of shooters around Rondo and he can really shine. Might limit Monte's effectiveness though.
 
Kind of hope this happens. Lakers will still not be good, keeps ROndo away from any other competitor, but also helps Lakers be maybe just good enough to maybe help us out beating other contenders.

What "multiple picks"? They can only offer the HOU 2015 1st and their first one after the 2017 or 2018 pick is sent (which means either 2019 or 2020). BOS's trading Rondo for a 2015 and 2020 1st?

Maybe multiple second rounders? LMAO

I had been wondering the same, since they have a long line of waiting on conveying a pick. But I suppose Dallas pick isn't a great asset either, LA can move their 2nd if it is in the top 10. Interested to see what Boston can actually get for him, versus what they likely could have gotten last year or earlier, wheen most thought they should have moved him.
 
I mean, good on them if they can get it for what's probably an early-20's pick this year and one in 2020. But in that case, hell, maybe he'd look good coming off OUR bench. ;)

Holy shit if Dallas gets Rondo.

Rondo will want a big contract. Would that eat up all Dallas' cap room this summer? I hope so.

I don't see it as a good fit for Dallas. Monta Ellis had 25 points and 8 assists last night. (11-20) Why would they pair him with a PG who needs to dominate the ball to be effective?

They would be immediately better. Rondo is arguably one of the best PG defenders in the league, can rebound very well and is an assist machine. Dallas lacks wing defense and rebounding. This would be a perfect situation that could propel Dallas into major contention.

I love Rondo. I would love to have him in Portland. He and Lillard could work because Dame can shoot from anywhere on the court. Rondo could set up Dame.

But Dallas is winning because of Monta. You take the ball out of Monta's hands and it will be Milwaukee and GS all over again. How did that work out?

I'm a little confused here... You said Rondo and Dame would work because Dame can shoot. I know Ellis isn't as deadly as Monta, but that kid can shoot. Also, they have parsons and dirk as well. Giving Rondo 3 very capable 3 point shooters while Rondo runs the plays is disastrous for any defense.

We need to do whatever it takes to not make Rondo to Boston happen.

Eric sending autographed pics to Boston would surely swing the vote.

Monta Ellis is a scorer. He attacks the rim a lot more than Dame (Who is more of a shooter).Monta needs and wants the ball in his hands most of the time. No need to set him up. If you take the ball out of Monta's hands then he becomes more of a jump shooter and more inconsistent like he was in GS and Milwaukee.

If he controls the ball like I am sure he will, then Rondo becomes a spectator. Rondo might not work in Portland either, but I think the chances would be better next to Dame than next to Monta.

Looks like Sanders gets a suspension for his flagrant on Batum
