Why the Celtics Shouldn’t Deal Rajon Rondo

bos_113011_rondo_2

I’m sure you have heard the latest rumors of Rajon Rondo heading to the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for Chris Paul. However, that deal appears all but dead now after Paul announced that he will not sign any long-term deal with the Boston Celtics if he’s traded to the franchise.

With that, the Celtics have not stopped with shopping Rondo. Several other rumors have came up that Rondo could head elsewhere like the Indiana Pacers. However, in my opinion as a Pacers fan, the deal probably won’t work. As it looks right now, Boston would deal Rondo and Glen Davis (or Jermaine O’Neal) for Paul George and Roy Hibbert. Honestly, I don’t think it will happen. The Pacers will be giving up a franchise-center in Hibbert and a prized young small forward in George. With that, the Pacers are basically trading their future for Rondo, in which the team already has two point guards ready to go in Darren Collison and George Hill. So basically, it’s not gonna happen.
