Let's Revisit Sam Presti Biggest Mistake, That Rondo/Perkins for Westbrook/Green Deal

[Freestyle Phantom3.0]

wouldve liked that better than the perkins for green

Rondo can give u 13 a night, Ibaka 10, Perkins 10 and Tabo 7? Rest of the Guys 12 Is that impossible?

Perkins wouldn't give you more than 6 on average. Thabo's good for 5. That means 18 points between Collison, Maynor, and someone else. No, that's not a given.

yes, because it's not a given that they do that on a nightly basis.

They'd have to hope every game is a 80-75 game each night to get W's. God forbid if even one of Durant or Harden has an off night. You're sunk there.

a point guard with poor decision making, tunnel vision (at times), and a ballhog more or less

don't know how many times i've seen westbrook refuse to pass to an open durant and instead run iso for himself

IMO with their best playmaker gone in harden, they really could use a rondo or nash right now.. durant could be EATING

This is what you don't understand. That's what Brooks and OKC want. They want Westbrook to take more shots than Durant and Harden, because that's what has worked for them. Not every team needs a pass-first guy at the starting point guard position.

fair enough.. we'll see how this season plays out

edit: more than harden yeah, but there's no way westbrook takes more shots than KD on that team right now, and i really doubt they would want him to

Defensively it's not even close. Rondo is a All NBA Defense Caliber PG

GTFOH. rondo most overrated pg defender in the league.

yeah thread should have ended there. this shyt has already been discussed before and why it wouldn't work.

 

[jfkennedy]

Harden's doing that because he's the #1 option in Houston. He doesn't get those touches in OKC. He ain't averaging more than 25 in OKC.

Even if Durant averages 30, that's still only 55-60 points. You'd need another 40 points from the rest of the roster, and that's not a given.

So what do you think he's going to get with Westbrook being gone? More touches. Touches from Rondo at that.

And that's enough, Rondo averages 10 a game, you got Sefo, Perkins, Maynor, Ibaka... you'd get the remaining points.

They made it to the NBA finals with Westbrook at point guard. If they had cp3 they still would have lost to the heat so what makes you think rondo would be a better fit? They're still gonna make it to the nba finals this year.

But as you saw from his performance in the Finals, you risk a disappearing performance from Harden, and that would completely sink the team.

Same risk with Westbrook really.

I mean really, it'd be interesting. Idk if it's Presti's biggest mistake but I don't see why Durant wouldn't want to play with Rondo, and still have Harden. I bet Westbrook stresses that nikka out lol.

 

[phillycavsfan]

Same risk with Westbrook really.

Not really. Russell demanded the ball in the Finals plenty of times and delivered. Meanwhile Harden's bytching about touches after wins.

And let's not forget, Rondo's a moody little bytch.

They Made The Finals LAST YEAR

NBA Trade News: OKC Thunder Reject Rajon Rondo for Russell Westbrook Deal | Bleacher Report

They rejected a Rondo and Perkins for Westbrook and Jeff Green.


Rondo's Deal is not a max deal and they could've kept harden. With Rondo's unselfish style and court Vision with Harden and Durant they would've won Multiple Championships.

Rondo
Tabo/Harden
Durant
IBlocka
Perkins

Doesn't sound too bad. It's obvious Presti traded the wrong guy.

 

[KillbertArenas]

They were right to reject that deal. OKC wouldn't have enough scoring if they had Rondo instead of Westbrook.

Dumbest Coli post ever that ive read so far..
