Would you all get mad if squawk went down right now? Lol.

Well, to be fair, AD was a shrinker in the playoffs without Rondo.

My point being was Rondo going to elevate our second unit now or in the playoffs.   All signs point to no.   Can he pass the ball to Kawhi or PG.  Probably.

Omg. Wow.

Not gonna lie, I'm fairly ecstatic to be rid of Rondo and his contract. We had him long enough to impart some wisdom to Trae, now he can take that bad contract and hang it around someone else's neck for a year and a half.

Hmmm, food for thought. 

 

True, maybe someone can score when Trae isn't playing now

[Spud2nique]

So Rondo’s contract was a problem, but Gallo is worth what we gave him? Ok.

[sturt]

I'd be fine with the trade, me, if Lou was a legit PG.

He's never been that.

Worth what we gave him? Probably not. Closer than what Rondo was? Hell yes.

Gallo is producing for us though.

Ya but people acting like 7.5 mill for one year is ludicrous when we paid Gallo what $60 mill or so. He is predicting and I hope he can walk next year. Awesome shooter but his body is breaking.

Our bigs help get easy points at the rim. Either screening for guys to get to the rim or finishing themselves. That's their skill set at least.

Never liked the Rondo signing, so I'm glad he's gone.  I appreciate his value, but as a basketball personality, I can't stand him. I don't care what we got in return for him.

[JayBirdHawk]

4 minutes left - let's get that Center. lol

[sturt]

Great.

 

So, we come out of this with not only the gaping hole behind the starting C, but now also a gaping hole behind the starting PG.

 

What could go wrong?

I don’t know what was going on in the locker room, but Rondo on the floor puts fear into teams. I hated him in Boston for obvious reasons but can’t deny talent.

How many playoff games has Rondo won the last 10 years that didn't involve AD and/or Lebron?   I think the answer is really close to zero.

If my memory is correct, he was on his way to sweeping the 1st seed Celtics in the first round just 4 years ago before going down to injury as a member of the Bulls.

To the people who hated Rondo, now what? Lou better come off and play like Flip Murray and just go off for us.

[AUhawksfan]

I'm good with it.  Frees up Rondo's cap space so we'll have some additional money this offseason.  Maybe that'll allow them to do a more front loaded deal for Collins?

I don't expect much from Lou but this allows us to admit our mistake and just cut our losses on Rondo.  As long as Dunn comes back healthy I think we'll be fine and I agree this deal might mean Schlenk was confident that will be the case.  We just might have to limp along a little bit at point until he does return.
