Rondoooooooooooooooooooooooo!
For 12 years now Bill Simmons has been doing this Trade Value Ranking article and it usually is some of his best work. This year, as you might expect, there are lots of notes on the Celtics. Feel free to debate and discuss. That's pretty much the whole point.
Here is a portion of his Rondo analysis:
The 12th-annual ranking of the NBA's top 50 players, Part 2 - Grantland
Hold on, I have to climb to the highest building in Los Angeles so I can scream this as loudly as I can in all caps: "THE CELTICS AREN'T PANIC-TRADING RAJON RONDO!!!!!!! IT'S NOT HAPPENING!!!! THEY HAVE ONLY TRIED TO TRADE HIM ONE TIME — FOR CHRIS PAUL, ONE OF THE BEST 10 PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE!!!!! THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN TRADING A DOLLAR FOR TWO 50-CENT PIECES!!! STOP SAYING OTHERWISE, PEOPLE WHO WRITE/SAY THINGS ABOUT BASKETBALL FOR A LIVING! IF THEY CAN'T GET A BLUE-CHIPPER FOR HIM, THEY ARE KEEPING HIM! MARK MY WORDS!!!!"
The biggest reason why Boston won't trade Rondo: his contract. Four years remaining, $45 million? That's highway robbery.
The second-biggest reason: On TV a few weeks ago, Chris Webber said something that made me say, "I wish I had thought of that first." ! They were talking about trades, and C-Webb pointed out that championship teams are always stubborn. In other words, instead of caving to the whims of their fans, the pressure of the media, the ebbs and flows of a season (or even someone's career) or especially conventional wisdom, they say to themselves, "Screw this, I know what I have, I'm sticking with it."
Now … That's an awesome point. MJ's Bulls always resisted the urge to trade Pippen. Same for the Mavericks (Dirk), Lakers (Kobe), the Celtics (Pierce), Rockets (Hakeem), Lakers (Kareem) and even some lesser examples (the Spurs and Tony Parker circa 2010, the Sixers and Allen Iverson circa 2000, etc.). On the flip side, think of the teams who caved and dealt a signature player: Wilt Chamberlain (twice), Charles Barkley, Elvin Hayes, Jason Kidd, Pau Gasol, Dennis Johnson, Moses Malone, Alonzo Mourning, even C-Webb … for every Stephon Marbury or Bob McAdoo who doesn't haunt their old team, there are many more Barkley-like examples when the team wasn't stubborn enough to say, "No!!!!!" If we've learned anything from NBA history, it's that you should always be extremely wary about trading a blue-chipper without getting a blue-chipper back.
Agree. Don't trade a star for two or 3 "pieces." You go the other way, like Danny did in 2007.
