If the
Boston Celtics can move Rajon Rondo to the Sacramento Kings for either or both
starting guards, Isaiah Thomas or Ben McLemore, I say they had better pull the
trigger faster than Quick Draw McGraw ever did.
First and
foremost, Rondo can’t shoot a lick from outside of 15 feet and that, in my estimation, will
always be a major hindrance to whichever team does acquire the defensive-minded
former all-star.
However,
if Boston can get either of Sacramento ’s gifted backcourt players, they
should not hesitate to pull the trigger on this hypothetical trade. In the case
of Thomas, sure, he may be small, but he’s as explosive as it gets offensively
and he’s really starting to come into his own even more this season after not
having much consistency, minutes-wise from former head coach Paul Westphal.
Now,
I’m absolutely shocked that the Kings would even consider trading the clearly
talented McLemore, seeing as how the rookie shooting guard was one of the most
prized picks in last year’s NBA Draft and has an upside as high as any young
guard’s in the league.
The Celtics have been on the better end of many, many trades, but this one is a whopper that make even the most dedicated McDonald’s fan switch to Burger King.
