lol this would be the worst trade ever.
According to a league source, the Kings are proposing a package that would send point guard Isaiah Thomas, shooting guard Ben McLemore, veteran swingman Marcus Thornton, power forward Jason Thompson and two future first-round picks to the Celtics in exchange for Rondo.
First off, McLemore will be good. Super athletic and still figuring things out. Second, Isiah Thomas will be a top five point guard, and hes already a top ten talent. He can shoot 3's, score at the rim, shoot midrange, dish assists, and steal, and makes his free throws. A better talent at this point than Rondo. Thirdly, 2 first round picks as well, after the four players? Why?
I liked the Rudy Gay trade and even the Derrick Williams trade. I get that Sacramento is trying to change everything right now but this would gut the team, and the combo they're looking for in Rondo, Rudy Gay, and Cousins is not as enticing as the athetlic starting five they have right now, in Thomas, McLemore, Gay, Williams, and Cousins. As Grant Napear said a couple games ago, "This is the most athletic starting five the Kings have ever had." Why give that up for Rondo, who's been hurt and isnt going to get any better?
