Is there a team that would trade for Rondo, right now?

[Chronz]

Similar to how Golden State traded for Andrew Bogut knowing he wouldn't be healthy anytime soon but saw the opportunity to stash away future talent.

To trade for Rondo, a team has to be in that unique position of not being in a rush to win now, but have enough upside to give a volatile player like Rondo, something to look forward to.

To me that team seems to be Detroit. Calderon is great but hes not a long term answer as a starter.

Heres a 3-Team Trade where Boston COMPLETELY blows it up.

Throw in some picks and what not, and Bostons books are wiped clean. Is that selling too low on Rondo? Or would you welcome a rebuild with cap space around those prospects.

Would Detroit want Rondo is the bigger question tho.

I don't know why any team would want Rondo. His stats are the biggest mirage in the NBA today. Most overrated player IMO, even more so than James. He puts up pretty stats, yet has no impact on games. You can't even build a team around him because he is so arrogant that he thinks the needs to be the one with the highest USG% no matter what. He won't do the little things it takes to win. Not a team player at all and has a horrible attitude as well. Boston would be lucky to unload that virus anywhere they could.

So to answer the question...No, I don't think there is any team that would trade for Rondo right now.

So Rondo has negative trade value? **** man even I find that hard to believe, and I prolly dislike Rondo's game more than you.

There HAS to be a team that would rather have Rondo than nothing at all.

prolly right

I guess to a small market team he might have some value. I still wouldn't want him. To any team with any sort of chance at contending for a title, yes, he has negative trade value. Send him to the Wizards.

Duplicate.

I brought this up right after Rondo tore his ACL. I thought the Raps wouldve been a great fit if Boston wanted to take another run the next 2 years by trading Rondo for Lowry+ another piece.

Raps get to tank next year and draft a SF and get Rondo ready for 2015. Now with the Rudy trade things obviously changed.

Keep in mind, if a team traded for Rondo they would be paying a LOT of $$$ for only 1 season of him.

Yea I think yours is more realisitic given its simplicity. Its definitely only a move Boston does if they plan on giving it 1 more run tho. Mine is more nuclear

i didn't know you could even trade injured players, i thought GS loopholed the bogut deal

He said overrated. Nothing else. Dont take offense to **** that depends on perspective. I have MJ as the GOAT, but I find him overrated because I dont find him infallible unlike many homers.

Teams can bypass physical results if they wish, hell you can trade for players who are sitting at home and retired.

Wizards have John Wall. Doubt they are willing to forget about developing his game for the sake of Rondo.

Terrible move for Celtics unless they can get an elite player for Rondo. He's basically the guy who runs the team. Not worth risking your future for one season that is very unlikely for them anyways.
