Rondo is not as dead as people presume. Look up some of his Celtic games from last season, still capable of putting up triple doubles on any night. Rondo needs a free flow system where he dictates the pace(Karls system to a tee), Dallas was the absolute worst place for him to go, a stubborn coach that has a system and sticks to it. His basketball IQ and ability to dish guys into scoring positions is still there, his defensive awareness is still there, you could say he has lost a step laterally, but it's still about league wide average for an NBA PG, plus that's why we go get a WCS. On a one year deal he will do wonders for guys like Ben that can't create their own shot, even Nik if he can ignite his career. This is the kind of gamble we must take if we have any chance of keeping DMC long term. It's either this or sign some bottom of the barrel free agent like Ramon Sessions that doesn't move the needle in either direction.
His shooting is obviously a problem, but Darren is a good spot shooter especially from the corners. You hope Ben continues his upward climb and breaks 40 percent from 3, maybe Nik buts a nice season together off the bench and we can probably trade for a lower level shooter.
