Raptors Interested In Rajon Rondo

[Mr.Baller]

The Toronto Raptors are interested in Rajon Rondo, according to multiple sources.
The Raptors like Rondo's basketball resume and he would also bring a 'star' element to the franchise. Rondo has many backers in the organization.
Rondo is scheduled to become a free agent in 2015.
The Raptors have been engaging in trade talks with Kyle Lowry, though they are prepared to keep him past the deadline. Lowry will be a free agent in July.

We posted this at the same time lol

I agree that it's not a great move for TOR. But I have always loved TRoss tho

 

[Mr.Baller]

It would be stupid to ruin our team's chemistry at the moment

ye bro Tross is amazing
also I'm not sure about this but didn't Rondo said he wanted to test FA this off-season ?

 

[elcheato]

Ross has become fairly overrated
 
Still a bad deal for Toronto

 

[bosoxlover12]

I liked Ross at the draft, not just now.

I wanted Cleveland to take him over Dion; liked his explosive potential

And rondo is going to test FA wherever he goes. No reason for him to re-sign, because he gets less years. You can't make more than a 4 year deal, so if he signed an extension today, it's only 2 year deal after his current contract

I don't think Toronto has a damn clue what they want to do.

lets trade our star caliber pg for another all star caliber pg
 
i love rondo but it doesn't make sense atm.

Right lol. One minute they want to trade all assets, the next they are trying to compete.

 

[elcheato]

We call those smokescreens. They're trying to create leverage and not be bullied in trades. If someone thinks you don't necessarily want to blow it up, they're probably not going to low ball you. If you're trying to acquire a veteran but the other team is under the assumption that you're also fine with rebuilding, they can't won't be able to ask for as many assets.

 

[playmaker7]

I don't see why a Lowry/Rondo deal even makes sense.

 

[footballplaya52]

raps want "star power" from what i've read.

So rondo wont stay long term in sac but will in toronto?

 

[Rios15]

Toronto looks like a better situation than Sac right now if that's a question lol. Playoff bound team right now too

 

[elcheato]

I'd move to Toronto after graduation, but it wouldn't make sense to spend 4-7 years learning American law, and then move to Canada.
 
Awesome place

 

[Mexi]

I totally agree
Toronto is a beautiful city as well, but guys historically havent signed up there
