Celtics Set To Make Smart Move?

According to ESPN’s Chris Broussard, the Boston Celtics are considering moving all-star point guard Rajon Rondo, a move I believe the team is absolutely correct in making for both, its short-term and long-term futures.

Sure Rondo is a great passer and defender that averaged 10.6 points and 11.2 assists per game last season, but I don’t care what anyone says … when you can’t shoot a lick from outside of five-feet, then you’re always going to be a liability to your team on offense. The C’s should be able to get by with Delonte West and whomever else they bring in, manning the position until Avery Bradley or some other long-term answer is available.

Besides, how hard is it to come down court and throw the ball to Paul Pierce, Ray Allen or Kevin Garnett?

Pierce led the Celtics in scoring last season by averaging 18.9 points per game, followed by Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett who averaged 16.5 and 14.9 points per game respectively.

Boston finished in the bottom third in the league in scoring and that was a problem despite the fact that the Celtics finished with the league’s top-ranked defense.
