if i was rondo i would probably be doing whatever in my power to make the relationship work bc either he stays w dallas (not looking super likely at the moment) or he goes into FA and coming off the string of seasons he's had recently i think his stock isn't maybe so high at present.
He’s entering FA. And I wouldn’t be shocked if he went unsigned for a few months. Where is Rondo an upgrade? I don’t see him taking a backup role.

yeah hes in a tight spot man what happened 2 u rondo this makes me sad

it does but i'm also like he got an incredibly wide berth in boston, played at half speed most of this season and for his efforts got traded to a playoff team, and is still finding reasons to be unhappy.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 17:18 (nine years ago) link
he started out the season great was almost averaging a trip dub for like 1.5 months!
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 17:19 (nine years ago) link
granted with like 5fta over that span
his percentages have been awful all season
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 17:20 (nine years ago) link
hes not you know "a percentages guy"
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 17:21 (nine years ago) link
he was never a 35% ft guy before though
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 17:22 (nine years ago) link
he makes shaq look like rick berry
pardon me i meant 31%
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 17:24 (nine years ago) link
ya his terrible FT shooting has been fucking w his game for a while, he just avoids contact completely now which is basically death in the nba especially for a guy who cant shoot
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 17:24 (nine years ago) link
his 3pt% is higher than his ft somehow
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 17:26 (nine years ago) link
ft% im sure is somewhat artificially depressed by the fact that he never actually takes any
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 17:28 (nine years ago) link
really needs a sports psych. for this free throws thing, it's out of control

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine 44s45 seconds agoMarko Jaric. Mark Blount. Ricky Davis. Mike James. Those were starters alongside KG last time he played for Wolves on April 9, 2007

I miss Ricky Davis

interesting take imo
Rory (Philly)
Help us understand why the Suns traded the LAL #1 for 2 months of Brandon Knight?
Chad Ford (1:19 PM)
They want to sign Knight to a long-term contract. They were going to go hard after him this summer -- but their chances of getting him were much slimmer given his restricted free agent status. This guaranteed that they controlled his future. If Knight can buy into playing off the ball (Jason Kidd wasn't convinced he was a point guard which explains why they made the deal for MCW) and letting Bledsoe run the point, I think it will be a great deal for the Suns. I like Knight much better off the ball. But that's a big if. Knight has always wanted to be the point guard and I'm not sure he'll adjust any better than Goran Dragic did. We'll see. He has more incentive.
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 18:22 (nine years ago) link
hmm, ok, gl everyone involved
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 18:23 (nine years ago) link
the chances of the lakers pick turning into a player as good as brandon knight are prob like idk ~50%
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 18:28 (nine years ago) link
and the suns prob want to actually be good at basketball at some point rather than just developing young players forever
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 18:29 (nine years ago) link
but on the other hand that pick has a dece chance of turning into a superstar too
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 18:31 (nine years ago) link
suns clearly love brandon knight, and tbf his trajectory has been pretty good
(And remember, Milwaukee could've just gotten that pick from the Suns straight up for Knight if they had wanted it ... they clearly judged MCW as more valuable).
this is kinda crazy tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 18:33 (nine years ago) link
cld def see kidd loving mcw game tho lol
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 18:34 (nine years ago) link
i could see kidd extracting some better play out of MCW
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 February 2015 18:53 (nine years ago) link
ya he was in a very tuff spot in philly playing with a D league roster
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 18:54 (nine years ago) link
but still i doubt hell ever be too good
also i think they maybe covet his size more than most, with the way they play defense
like, MCW-giannis-jabari-henson is an incredible amount of length on the floor at one time
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 February 2015 18:56 (nine years ago) link
i think MCW will be good he'll just always be a very specific fit because of his shooting
guys who cant shoot im dubious of, guys who cant shoot or finish im just like nah, his finishing isnt terrible but its not good either, his shooting is legit awful tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 18:58 (nine years ago) link
Milwaukee needs someone who can score, that's gotta be their #1 priority. I'm not sure what MCW brings to the table that they didn't already have.
― Abstinence Hawk (frogbs), Wednesday, 25 February 2015 19:06 (nine years ago) link
in this deal they seem to have prioritized distribution and defense over scoring
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 19:12 (nine years ago) link
cld be thinking giannis is their #1 option of the future which is not unreasonable
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 19:13 (nine years ago) link
Even as a passer he doesn't seem all that great to me. His rebounding is very strong but other than that...
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 19:13 (nine years ago) link
kidd wanting a trad point guard is very kidd but might be behind the times as far as how the nba is actually played today
on the bright side, if the bucks falter now, it reduces the chances of kidd being voted COY
― Aimless, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 19:35 (nine years ago) link

well that's gonna be jabari
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 February 2015 19:39 (nine years ago) link
if the bucks didn't wanna resign knight and also didn't want to bring along another rookie i don't think the move to get MCW is terrible or anything
