Why not go after Rajon Rondo?


YOLO!

Recommended Posts

Reports are MJ wants a face of the franchise. Why not go after Rajon Rondo? He is a top 5 pg and he will help when it comes to getting FA's to come play in Charlotte. He is a champion so he would be well respected as the leader of the team.

 

Walker/#4 pick for Rondo?

 

It's not like this is a great draft, so why not go after a big name. 

 

*Hell no to the Chris Bosh rumor!

Yes, I'd rather keep Walker over Rondo.

 

1. Rondo is a headcase, he couldn't get along with HOF players and a great HC. It would be worse here in Charlotte.

2. He would want a big deal and take up most of the cap space the Bobcats have left and the team would still have no inside presence scoring wise.

3. Kemba stat wise was a top 10 PG last year. 

4. It effects the 2014 draft and the Bobcats ability to get a top 5 player in one of the best NBA drafts of the last 10-15 years.

5. He's got a poor jump shot and wouldn't really fit in well with the players that are already here in Charlotte. 

 

 

This idea is all around bad.

As good of a point guard Rondo is, Kemba and our 4th pick is too much. Rondo has endured injuries the past couple of years. His health is a major risk. Though, I have never thought of him being a headcase.

Kemba is not a bad PG. He only lack a passing game, but that side of his game will only improve. We're on the right path in building something really good. If we can pair him up with McLemore this upcoming season, it's going to be really fun to watch.

So Rondo is the better player but not better than Kemba because it's Charlotte. lol 

 

Do you guys know about basketball?

 

Any smart fan would take Rondo over Kemba/#4 pick in a heartbeat. You get Rondo and you suddenly have a foundation player you can build around and attract other FA's. It's time to get an established player to be the face of the franchise. No more Okafor/Jrich/Wallace/Jackson to be the face of this team.

    • The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.
    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
