That's fine with me, I don't get why you would only want him for one year to quote kingsboi:
That's basicaly my point, but if Rondo will look good on the court I'll gladly join you.
Dude, we get it -
you think Rondo's a washed-up cancer and could have been signed for less, for longer term.
Most of us don't agree with you.
Either way, it's a gamble, and none of us knows which Rondo will show up - the All-Star-level PG who makes a deep-playoff team tick, or the morale-killing cancer that stops a team from making the playoffs.
But it's really not a coin-flip. If you really look at the circumstances, there is a higher-than-50-50% chance that Rondo returns to being a dominant player. He is absurdly smart, and has personality issues that will make him play badly to make a point.
Sound familiar?
Cousins and he seem like peas in a pod to me. Their demonized reputations around the league
will pretty much force them to get along to prove the world wrong. And Rudy seems to get along with both of them very well, personality-wise and game.
Yeah, there's the chance everything could blow up and go horrible, but the chance of this working out seems VERY likely to me, when looking at their games and personalities. Rondo driving to the hoop, the defense having to react, leaving Boogie with less attention to dominate around the glass/putbacks, alley-oops, etc.
You seem to be already pre-determining the outcome of this acquisition, and damning it before it has a chance to play out.
Do you really think there is as little chance of the Rondo signing to work out as you sound?
I would think you would be required to admit the chance it
might work.
What I'm wondering is - if it works out, are you going to come here and admit you were absurdly pre-judgmental in your snap judgment and cynical determination to believe a 29-year old 4-time All-Star had no game left?
