ANOTHER TOUGH BREAK FOR CELTICS FANS AND RONDO

The teak bath mat is my recommendation for Rajon Rondo.
On my list of blog topics for this weekend was the thought of the Celtics trading Rondo this season with the hopes of resigning him next summer.  You know, kind of like what we are hoping to see happen with Jon Lester and the Red Sox.  Of course with the latest news of Rondo breaking his hand by slipping in the shower, that thought process suddenly become less ridiculous. 
Before I continue on with this random thought, I'm going to hit the rewind button and go back to last fall.  A year ago Celtics fans were split on whether they should tank or not.  With a young team and Rondo coming off knee surgery midway through the season, many Celtics' fans felt that the best way to get back to winning was to lose as many games as possibly and get lucky in the lottery.  Well, we all know how that went.  The Celtics lost a significant amount of games, but also ended up losing in the lottery once again.  Additionally, the draft did not turn out anywhere close to as deep as it was predicted in October.
Next up was the thought of the Celtics making a trade for Kevin Love.  That dreamy discussion lasted throughout the spring and into the summer. 

Now the draft that we had been talking about since last autumn came and went without too much excitement over picks.  Fans were still waiting for "Trader Danny" to get something amazing accomplished. 

Eventually, Ainge made a trade.  While the trade didn't really net the Celtics any players, it did help break up the Big Three in Miami.  Unfortunately, it enabled the Cavaliers to bring back LeBron James and eventually bring in Kevin Love.  So, that trade pretty much backfired.  Not to get political, but it seems rather similar to how these terrorist groups seem to crop up after we give them weapons.

Anyway, fast forward back to early this week when the hamsters in my head were running on the wheel.  While it looks like the Red Sox are going to bounce back next season after having a crappy year, the same can not be said for the Celtics.  Instead, it looks like we are in for another year of cellar dweller NBA basketball in New England. 

Now, back to my brilliant plan: 

  • Rondo is now hurt and will be out to start the season
  • The Celtics will not do very well with all of the young players
  • Eventually, Rondo will get traded to a contender who is in desperate need of a highly skilled point guard
  • In desperate need for a point guard the other team with make the trade without Rondo signing an extension
  • The Celtics may get a decent player in the trade
  • The Celtics get a better lottery pick this season
  • Rondo likes the lineup Ainge is able to put together and gets paid, of course it's not near what he thought he would get when he insisted on becoming a free agent last winter. 
Sounds like a winner doesn't it?  No, I did not fall and hit my head in the shower.
