Currently? I don't know. I didn't watch enough Celtics games this season because they were so awful to watch. I didn't see how far he's progressed.ShelC wrote:Side Topic:
Is Rondo a top 10 PG?
I think it's a temporary move. He struck out with the coaches he really wanted and with the Love situation unsettled it might be scaring some coaches away. So I figure he'll move Love, coach the team for a year, then start the coaching search again next offseason.carey wrote: There's no way he trades Kevin Love now though right? Why would you want to come down off the GM post to coach if you bust that team up for a rebuild?
I think I like Rondo more than you do. He's an AMAZING passer and a nasty good defender. He takes criticism for his poor jump shot, but does everything else at such an amazing level that I think he's a great PG. The recent injuries and lack of decent teammates have hurt his rep, but he's an elite PG. I'd put him above Dragic when he's at his best, and for sure above Conley, Deron Williams, and Wall.carey wrote:Currently? I don't know.

I can tell you who I would take before him if given the chance if he returns to the level he was at prior to his injury though...
Curry
Irving
Paul
Westbrook
Parker
Dragic
Then there's a second tier of guys I'd put him in that includes...
Conley
D. Williams (who had a really, really bad year.)
Lillard
Wall
Rondo
I used to like Kobe when I was a kid, for a bit i liked the lakers cause I thought Kobe was good at basketball and ('looked cool cause he was dating brandy and bandy sang pretty and sounded sweet.') Man did I get set up by the NBA or what! Comments like that from Kobe makes me look at why I LOVEEEE comic books lolHow iconic is Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant? Spend a couple seasons at his side, and you'll be famous for life.
Former Laker guard Smush Parker, who's been out of the NBA since 2007-08, is still getting a few Black Mamba-aided minutes in the spotlight.
Parker made an appearance on ESPN's Highly Questionable recently, fielding multiple questions about Bryant, his teammate from 2005-07. The topic seemed about as appealing to Parker as the thought of his return might sound to Lakers fans, but the point guard still relayed one story from his Bryant experience, via Lakers Nation's Ryan Ward:
He told me one day at practice — I tried to talk to him outside of basketball about football. And he looked at me in practice and was dead serious and said, 'You can’t talk to me. You need more accolades under your belt before you come talk to me.'
I think Wall belongs in the top tier, and Conley seems close too. Rondo will have to prove next season that he is 100% back so I'd wait, but when. He was 100% he was the Shawn Marion of PG although he can't take far a limited roster. Irving, for all the talent he has, is very disfuntional and plays D with Harden-esque intensity so I just can't rate him as a top PG in an era where there is so much depth at his position. And Deron is done as top notch PG, at least if the surgery on both ankles he's getting this summer doesn't turn back the clock.carey wrote:Currently? I don't know.

Totally subjective list, but that's how I see it right now. I don't really know where to put Rose. I have a feeling he's going to be a shell of himself when he returns like what happened to Penny Hardaway.
Edit: Probably means something I didn't think to put Bledsoe on either list.

Sorry, Quin Snyder. Only one "n."Superbone wrote:Who?carey wrote:The Jazz have hired Quinn Snyder to coach.
It wasn't about the extra 'n'. I seriously had never heard of him. I sure don't remember him being a finalist in Phoenix.carey wrote:Sorry, Quin Snyder. Only one "n."Superbone wrote:Who?carey wrote:The Jazz have hired Quinn Snyder to coach.
IIRC, didn't he interview with us? And was among the finalists I believe.
He definitely was because when I looked up all his information I was surprised that the Suns would be interested in a guy with his, how should we say... background issues.Superbone wrote:It wasn't about the extra 'n'.
