I totally would have taken bledsoe with Ball.

They supposedly wanted to unload Bledsoe’s contract w/ Ball. Which wouldn’t have been ideal, but we gave up Lou *and* picks to get a worse player on a longer contract.

Now I’m seeing that the Pelicans foolishly want to hold onto Ball and instead dump Reddick. Idek what the Pelicans are doing considering SVG doesn’t really utilize Ball well.

100% not the move I was anticipating.

If playoff Rondo still exists (have my doubts) when will he be integrated into the team and the expense of which guard?

Why is our solution to get older? Rondo plus a time machine would have been the steal of the trade deadline.

Let’s pray to the health gods that Rondo (and the rest of the team) will be healthy.

We should’ve gotten Ball instead. He would’ve been a much-needed improvement at Guard.

I am gonna be optimistic by not thinking with my heart. We all loved Lou just like Blake or Darius Miles. But it was time to get serious on the bigger picture and that is success in the playoffs. Rondo may not be much during the regular season but he is by far an overachiever in the postseason a lot more than Lou.

I would say welcome Rajon to Clipsnation.

I wasn’t shunning you or saying you were melting down. Don’t be so sensitive.

I was referring to a consensus meltdown. This trade definitely sucks on its surface. I was just saying we (all clip fans) should wait until all the trade deal specifics come out before we (all clip fans) go scorched earth.

I don’t understand. I say something like what I just said and that equals a meltdown, and then someone else here says “we gave up picks for Rondo? WTF?!!” (Sorry, chogokin. Not trying to call you out here. Just needed to make my point) and that doesn’t equal a meltdown?

Honestly, stuff like this is why I’ve been lurking since we got Ty Lue. I’m just sick of that crap because everytime I say something that I’m clearly looking at just like the rest of you, I somehow get shunned for saying something that is clearly truthful. Why?

I don’t think this trade hurts our offense. I believe our offense is just as good with Lou as it is without him (someone can correct me if I’m wrong). Rondo could potentially improve our offense by allowing PG and Leonard to play within their respective games. Rondo should also make Bev more potent. Lou’s shooting was a luxury on nights that it was on, but it was far from the engine of our offense.

Rondo could be a great role model for Mann. With Mann learning the game under Rondo and Bev, the dude is going to be tough as nails.
