I figured either Tay or Rip would be gone within the next year anyways, and Rondo was really superb in the playoffs, but still... I think I'm just in shock. Basically you get Rondo and a shit ton of cap space (enough to make max offers to probably 2 stars) in 2010 since Allen's contract is done. It's probably playing with fire though. abso fucking lutely not. | ||

Even Blake Griffin isn't that great when comparing him to top 5 draft choices from previous years; and still defintiely needs development. He has a lot of potential upside, but we all know that there are no guarantees. The interesting part about the draft is the potential trades and the fact that theres much room for shuffling after Griffin is picked. The fact that this draft is so guard (PG / combo guards) heavy when compared to previous years is not a good sign. Again, don't expect these guards to come into their respective team and make an immediate impact. I'm sure a couple will turn into a solid contributors down the line and a couple MIGHT even become all-stars. But at this point, smaller guards are a piece in the bigger puzzle of a championship. Rarely are they franchise players. On a sidenote, has the draft always been held on a weekday at 7 p.m. eastern? | ||

Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Jefferson. That's a pretty sick combo right there. Although they have absolutely no depth at all after this trade. | ||

Bowen, though a good defender, doesn't help offensively at all; barely spreads the Spur's offense or their opponent's defense. Oberto and Thomas didn't prove much offensively either, though they did give Duncan some time to rest on the bench. Isn't Duncan getting alittle old and tired? Gregg Popovich had to let him rest some games and take time off of practice. I hope he can come back for a couple of more years; his shooting is really good, especially his bank shot, it's amazing Wow, what a steal by the Spurs. So basically the Bucks are gonna suck for another year right? I feel bad for players that are caught in the trade; they have to pack up all their junk and move away to a new city. Good thing it's off-season though. | ||

the bucks might not even keep bowen, they can cut him because his contract isn't guaranteed, so if the spurs really want him back they can still re-sign him for cheap. They still have who, bonner and drew gooden? Yeah they need some big men help for sure | ||

Work with me here. They're both young, very ambitious, pretty team-oriented, smart, cocky players. Rondo may be a dick, but that dude plays with a tenacity few players have matched. Combine that with Lebron's sheer athleticism (and a few other choice role players), and you've got one of the scariest defenses ever. Also, they are both great passers, and thus could develop a more flashy stockton and malone type combo. I could just see them just developing this ridiculous swagger as the two youngins obliterate teams left and right. | ||

Lebron makes most of what Rondo brings to the table completely redundant. The only benefits they'd get from Rondo are defense and rebounding, but they'd also end up with a PG who can't spread defenses and will allow teams to pack the paint and/or double Lebron with impunity. | ||

Mo Williams can spread their offense though, what's wrong with him? If Rondo can develop his jump shot and hook shot, he will be beast. I hear the problem is that his hands are too big so his shooting is just retarded looking. And can anyone give some links or anything pertaining to Rondo being a jerk? Btw he wrote on my myspace once, it was epic | ||
