Rondo for Paul??

Im a huge celtics fan, was born into it, and i love Rajon Rondo BUT if we can get Chris Paul then im all for it. And a big reason is because i really think if Celtics can get Paul then Celtics would have a much stronger chance of landing Dwight Howard next season in free agency (KG, and Ray Rays huge contracts come off the books)

I know all of this is a long shot, everything would have to fall into place including a 3rd team in the Rondo for Paul trade but i can dream cant i?  Pierce still has a couple decent seasons left but  Paul and Howard on the Celtics?? Oh man, that is guarantee finals and a possible championship title right there.

IF by chance the celtics do work out a deal for Paul then they better make sure he gives them a guarantee he will sign an extension with them because a lot of rumors since last year say that paul wanted to sign with NY when he becomes a Free agent next year..  I dont wanna lose Rondo for a guy that plays just 1 year.

As a Celtics fan and life-long boston resident...im all for the trade of rondo for cp3 reguardless if we have intrest in howard or not.

On board with this Danny Ainge...get it done.

alot of boston fans are against the trading of rondo.

dont think they know how good Paul really is.

Floor General.

a lot of people are against it but there are a ton of boston fans for it including myself and im a massive rondo fan too, but im all for making the celtics better and Paul is a much better player than rondo, i can admit that...

i like rondo alot to.

but his lack of shooting is a liability to the team.

they double peirce and ray ray and leave him wide open for the jump shot that he cant hit. You put Paul in that line-up, you cant leave him wide open.

yeah i just came back on here to post that. you beat me to it.. paul wont sign an extension so this deal wont happen... arghhh that sucks.

i feel like the celtics can bring him in and do a little convincing like they did with Garnett. Either way i feel like rondo is going somewhere b\c he's not going to play for a team that doesnt want...can definatly see that in his character.

i dunno, for me i would probably lean towards no because i would be pretty crushed if paul left after just one season and giving up rondo who has a couple years left on his contract (a cheap 10mil i think a year too)...  I think the celts, if ainge made the right moves, can rebuild rather quick. Rondo is still very young, and KG/Allens huge contracts expire so celtics will have a ton of money avail. Pierce will be done in a couple years too, if the celtics play their cards right we can be back in it (post big 3)..

Paul's stats have been going down for 3 years....and he averages 5 more points a game, but the other numbers are pretty darn similar. 

The Big 3 can already score....why do you really need a scoring PG?  Rondo's shot has improved.
