Would it Happen?
Danny Ainge has reportedly stated that he isn't "Shopping" Rondo, but will listen to offers and consider it for the right deal.
I say, don't make the Perkins mistake again..but it could work.
Rondo is still young and he still has room to develop..aka free throws and jump shot. He is quick, pesky on defense, and is one of the best passers in the league. There has been talks that Chris Paul would be a good fit here...would you trade Rondo and maybe Baby for him?
CP3 is a scorer and that's what the Celtics need. He will help take the load of the Big 3, mainly Paul, and that would open up the lanes for the other starters. He is a much better shooter than Rondo and brings another veteran presence to the locker room...adding to the big 3 and possibly Chandler. I see Danny making this move only if he is thinking offense in the future. If you don't make the trade, then in a few years all we have is Bradley Rondo, and Green as a core. There won't be any scoring..except hopefully Green. Bringing in Paul can guarantee more offense and still have a solid defender at the point.
I think that it's a longshot and ultimately if Paul leaves New Orleans, it may be to go play in the land of idiots (LA). But who knows, crazier things have happend during the offseason...(summer "07)

Bringing in a Champ?
Tyson Chandler could be wearing Green? I like it. Here's why:
Now, see all those alley-oops..imagine all that coming from Rondo! And I like his intensity. He's not afraid to get aggressive and get physical..will fit right in with crazy KG.

Basketballlll!
Man has it been a crazy semester so I apologize for not blogging as much as I could have. But enough of the sappy stuff..lets talk...yes it's true...CELTICS!!
The NBA and its players have reached a tentative agreement to start the season on Dec. 25TH, Christmas Day, with free agency and training camp beginning on December 9TH. This gives little time for the free agency period and in case you missed it, the C's are in need of some bodies. As of now, the roster is filled with the big 4, Jermaine O'Neal, and Avery Bradley. We can assume that Jeff Green will be resigned along with the two rookies JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore.
Now, my main concern, like most, is the Center position. Since we no longer have...well you know...and with Shaq's retirement we are left with half a body in Jermaine. Even with a short 66 game schedule, he will not be able to last an entire season. Danny needs to get someone to back him up, but also be capable of starting if anything was to happen. Tyson Chandler, Jason Collins, and Samuel Dalembert are the top 3 free agents for me. I like Chandler the most because he is a proven veteran, coming of a title with Dallas, who can come in and get the job done. He shot 58.2% from the field in the playoffs with an 8 point average.
If we were going to go and get a PF, my list would consist of Glen Davis (yes he's a free agent) Leon Powe, Joe Smith and Andre Kirilenko. If we were to sign one of these I'd choose Leon. He knows the system, good friends with the team, and can play the power forward and center position. I know what you're thinking, why not Baby? He is a good choice, but I would like to see them maybe sign and trade him to possibly get another big man or a backup for Rondo besides Bradley (if not Delonte).
Either way it's good be talking about this again and you will be hearing from me soon for what Danny does. For now I'll leave you with "UBUNTU" and this:
and this...
HAPPY BASKETBALL
