Couple things....Knicks need a real point guard that can control the ball and dictate offense. Distribute the ball and get away from the isolation stuff. So we need rondo.....A'mare needs a point guard to take the pressure of him and extend his career. Smith needs someone to take the ball handling pressure of him as well.

Boston blew it up. They need youth picks and cap space. The knicks have Shump and Novak whos salaries already match....they can throw Hardaway jr in there as well.......or they can enter Portland into thus and trade Tyson over there, and Portland would send cj mccollum to Boston. By nit trading Aldridge, Portland must be trying to win now. Tyson with Aldridge makes Alot of sense since they originally hoped Greg Ogden would be that guy. Tyson is basically the type of player they envisioned to be their center.

This is a great idea for all teams involved

There's no way we have the assets to get Rondo on our own, but including Portland makes things more interesting. I think some future 1st rounders would need to be included to get Boston's attention but I think it could be possible.

The Portland element does make a **** load of sense.....wish someone with influence could get this idea rolling

He is a great talent but I do not think he is a good fit.

Don't forget he can't shoot.....dude still it's an Elle level point guard and is a winner and a gamer.....he's a leader and nit afraid to tell the coach he's wrong that's what i get from rondo. He's not afraid to get on guys teammates especially hall of famers.

I personally think rondo is a douche....so is Chris Paul. To be great you have to be that guy

His physical talents are one thing.

There are rumors Doc went after him. Ray was rumored to want no part of him and perhaps Doc could not bare the thought of a rebuild with him as his point.

I do think Portland is the best partner in a trade scenario though. I think with future picks the Knicks could easily grab Aldridge by giving them Tyson. They want a center regardless of weather Aldridge is there or not but by shipping Tyson to Portland they would give Aldridge what he wants. I think they would give up some picks and players, if the reports are true.

Knicks:

Rondo
Wallace
Pap
Leonard/Whithey

Blaz:

Chandler
Novak
14 2nd

Celts:
McCollum
14 1st
White
Camby
Cash

With that said, I just cannot see how we can trade for Rhondo and still add the players we need

do you honestly think that package could get rondo? would you trade rondo for those guys?
