It sounded bad. Is there video?

Wow, that's a dangerous play. I don't know what Barrett was looking at but the first view was the best at showing just how far he was pushed, causing him to fall. Shades of Ariza - Rudy. Scary.

 

[Blazinaway]

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.

sendem Nic and Wes plays most of SF minutes, or CJ/Trob/Leonard/2015 1st

 

[BBert]

Thanks, BDSF.

:repped:

Yeah it was a bad fall, my dad and I were pretty close and you could hear the smack on the court.

Yeah man. I don't think Sanders meant to hurt him, but it caused the momentum to force nic sideways. If Nic didn't land on his arms and side first, that momentum could have been life threatening if he landed on his head.

If Rondo is traded I have to think Jeff Green and Bass are available as it appears Ainge is rebuilding

Bass, yes. Green, no. Green is still young enough to be part of the rebuild.

 

[Blazinaway]

Bass, yes. Green, no. Green is still young enough to be part of the rebuild.

not sure about that, Green is 28

 

[BrianFromWA]

Bass, yes. Green, no. Green is still young enough to be part of the rebuild.

Green is LMA-aged, iirc.
Edit: What Blazinaway said.

 

[magnifier661]

not sure about that, Green is 28

Hmmm... Well we went through a rebuild with Aldridge being 28

 

[magnifier661]

It really seems Rondo is going to Dallas. This sucks

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Our rebuild (hiring Olshey, drafting Lillard) was when he was 27 (yeah yeah that's splitting hairs) but I still feel like LMA is barely in our window.

I have this theory that the trades you hear a lot about are the trades that don't end up happening. It's the ones you don't hear about that go down. Not saying it's always effective, but I've found it's definitely worth approaching trades that way.

I think that's true to minor deals, but usually all the major ones leak way before it happens.

Like Chris bosh to Houston?

heard an awful lot about love to cleveland.

 

[Strenuus]

Like Chris bosh to Houston?

haha. well done.

 

[RR7]

Like Chris bosh to Houston?

that wasn't a trade, it was a free agent signin. And they did make him an offer he was seriously considering until Miami gave him a 5 year max deal.

That wasn't a trade

 

[Strenuus]

Well, it helps that Lebron said he's going if love goes there, sooo...

 

[PDXFonz]

This Rondo to Dallas deal seems anything but final to me at this point.

 

[RR7]

Lebron was there before Love was, sooo....

Also heard a lot about Kirilenko to 76ers before it was completed.

You sure?

fuuuuck... talk about dallas being unstoppable.

Yeah it's some bullshit man. Just when we are gaining ground, this happened!!!

 

[magnifier661]

So does this mean Dallas is a contender now?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

They are the new NBA frontrunners.

Yep! There knock has always been their guards and lack of defense. Rondo immediately solves this problem. Oh and add double rebounds and assists to the mix too!
