Celtics after Paul, explore Rondo trade

If you can get him and extend him then its a no brainer but I dont see it happening

I'm thinking it could be a case of Rondo not wanting to go to a rebuilding situation. Otherwise that does make more sense to me.

I would think NO needs Collison more than Rondo because of Collison's scoring ability.

Celts don't need an extension signature from CP3. They recognize their last window of opportunity with the big three is this very season. This is their last stance and who better to go down with than CP3. If they win a championship, CP3 will stay and they can reup Pierce, Ray and Garnet with reasonable contracts to keep competing. If they fail to win. They start from scratch and I mean whole sale... CP3 heads to NY, Pierce, Allen and KG all get traded for picks to kick the rebuilding party.

CP3 to Boston can be a one night stand or lead to a long term marriage. Personally I'm petrified at the potency of pairing KG & CP3. Those guys are two of the fierce competitors in the league and can wreck great havoc if KG stays healthy.

As for Hornets they can a young point guard and something to show for the inevitable exodus of Chris Paul.

It's a win-win situation with Boston assuming the greater risk. But it has to be done...

While a 3 way with Indy would work out. It helps to keep in mind that NO isn't really going to be in the drivers seat much longer. They need to get something or risk being Lebron'd.

Yeah, especially if CP3 gets anywhere near as aggresive as Melo did last year and force their hand.

Good analysis. You could be right about a one night stand that turns into a relationship for Paul in Boston.

If that means no rings for those pigs in Miami I'm all for it but I like to think Melo is a better recruiter than Ainge... NY always wins!

Yeah the NBA owned Hornets are trying to help out one of the NBA stable franchise the Boston Celtics. After all the NBA doesn't want the Celtic to be irrelevant again after 20 years of them being irrelevant.

And correct me if I'm wrong. But didn't Rondo say in the past that he was a way better point guard the Chris Paul. And didn't the two get in a small scuffle in the past aftre a game. So Rondo if your so much better then Paul. Why does your team want to trade you for him?

Man it feels good to be able to talk and read about actual basketball now

Paul should find a way to go to the Clippers, he could form a combo with Griffin like Stoudemire and Nash had in Phoenix. Best for Howard would be the Nets with D-Will or the Lakers. Just how i see it would be best for their careers moving forward, ala Lebron last year.
