I don't see ho we could get Rondo without trading Davis or Gordon. They could get a much better, more established, player for Rondo. And they don't need to clear a space and get a pick for DWill. I'd think they'd rather trade Rondo for Gordon or Joe Johnson or Gasol or somebody to help lure DWill to Boston.
What about a three way trade? Rondo to NOLA, K. Irving & #33 to Boston and J. Jack, Lewis, Bass and #10 to Cleveland. Rondo to NOLA, Howard to Boston, #10, #21 & #22 to Orlando?

Neither Cleveland nor Orlando would do these trades.

I'm just trying to think of a possible three way trade scenerio. And who knows what Orlando would do. They need to trade Dwight yesterday.

Don't think CLE makes that deal, but that may be the best deal ORL could get for Howard. They would truly be rebuilding and with the depth in this draft class, that could be a really good deal for them.

I'm not as troubled by Gordon's injuries. He hurt his wrist (I think), and last season he had a lingering knee issue that doesn't seem to have been that serious. Certainly not as serious as CP3's.

If a good deal comes along, I have no problem moving Gordon.
I don't either, but the deal has to be REALLY good. Rondo and mediocre draft picks don't necessarily do it for me.

Gordon wasnt really hurt. He was out 3 months for a 2-3 week surgery because we were tanking.

He wouldn't have played at all if that were the case

There's no way Gordon would sacrifice future earnings (which is exactly what happened this year) to help the Hornets tank.

The thing with this draft is that from pick 6 or 7 to about 20 beauty is in the eye of the drafter. If the picks were Houston's, and the Hornets board is as tightly packed as everyone assumes, it would be tempting to get Rondo and then 2 players you still like a lot.

So Clevland gives up Irving for Jack, Lewis, Bass, and the 10th pick.
Orlando gives up Howard for the 10th, 21st, and 22nd pick.
I can't believe you actually thought that this was a good deal as you typed this out (not to mention you have two teams getting the 10th pick)

-Groin 20 games in 2009

-knee 57 games last season
He's only been in the league for 4 years.
is it more concerning when someone has proven to be injury prone with multiple injuries, or to just have 1 lingering injury?

Im not saying actively trade him. But Rondo is probably as best as they are going to do. Not many players are available that are of his caliber.

Trading a stud SG for a stud PG makes no sense regardless - especially if you throw in the 10th pick in the draft (likely another starter for cheap for the next 4 years).
SGs >>>>>> PGs. Nobody argues this.
Why the frick would anybody want to do that?
Lewis and the #10 is the only incarnation of this possible trade that makes sense for the Hornets, and that makes no sense for Boston - Rondo is definitely young enough for them to rebuild around.

That's because it's two separate deals.

I really don't know. As unlikely as it may seem at first, multiple, relatively minor injuries really could be nothing more than bad luck. There's no connection between a groin strain and a sprained wrist. I don't necessarily buy into the theory that the guy's body is somehow more fragile. But, hey, I could be wrong.
I just know he's shown flashes of brilliance. And I'd love to have him for, say, 65-70 games a season. Again, I'm not totally against trading the guy for a really good deal. I'm just not sure that Rondo is the deal I would want.

because you have a young guy that is never healthy who by default have to attempt to build your team around?
that's not scary to you? no red flags?

depends on who were are talking about
in this case a world champion PG vs an oft injured SG
