Rondo traded to MAVS

[bLACKpANTHER]

Celtics get Brandon Wright, Jae Crowder, Jameer Nelson and a first round pick and second round pick. Mavs get Rondo and another player

[PanthersClinic]

I don't get it. We could've given them way better draft picks. Why would they trade him to Dallas? NBA is a scam.

Rondo sucks.

Why the heck would we want Rondo?

The MAVS are in need of a good point guard and with as much firepower as they have Rondo is a great fit.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Pretty nice get for the Mavs, I wonder if Boston is going to play Wright at the center.

[PantherBrew]

Good deal for both sides.

Great fit for Rondo

[Dexterity]

Rondo

Stephenson

Kidd-Gilchrist

Zeller

Jefferson

Lmao...

People bitching because we didn't trade for Rondo?

That lineup would shoot 10% outside of the paint. Rondo can't shoot at all. He's a worse shooter than MKG, Henderson, & Stephenson. He's a passer & rebounder. That's it. He can't score, he is terrible defensively, and he's a douche & locker room cancer. He's also nearly 30 years old & injury prone. It would take about 1 game before Rondo & Stephenson got into an on court scuffle over grabbing a rebound.

Rondo is a great fit for Dallas. They have a roster full of shooters. He can handle the ball & distribute all game. They have a strong locker with Dirk, Carlisle, & even Cuban & can keep him in line.

Maybe they'll lower his PER by giving him starter minutes. Always been exhibit a when arguing against PER.

Yeah, but I'm actually a fan of Wright's. He's playing 18 mpg and shooting 75% from the field. That's pretty incredible.

I forgot he was shooting 75% this year. Even only shooting at the rim, that's really impressive.

Brandan Wright is one of the most injury-prone players in the entire NBA. He's in his 9th season and has never played more than 64 games in a season, averaging just 39 games per season.

He's extremely talented, though. His career PER is around 22. He would've been a perennial All-Star without the injuries. He's still only 27, but the likelihood of him sustaining his health going forward is pretty slim.

That's a steal for the Mavs

 i agree with most of what you said except that he can't play defense. I've seen some of the most athletic plays by this boy.

 

Example:

 

 

[Dexterity]

Everybody in the NBA is athletic.

James Harden, Kyrie Irving, etc aren't terrible defenders because they can't defend or lack athleticism. They're terrible defensively because they're lazy and/or don't care.
