Dr. Chestnutt on Rondo

[Andy]

I thought this might be an appropriate moment to quote Dr. Chestnutt  
who on June 29th had some pointed words to say about the Rondo  
acquisition shortly after it was made:

"The Small Exceedingly Stupid Trade

The Rondo pick for next year's #1 was inexcusable and embarrassing.  
This is Ainge at his absolute worst – fixated on obscure talent he  
finds singular, unable to let it go. See Robert Swift, Marcus Banks,  
and Telfair.  (snip)

Rondo equals Orien Greene with a better college pedigree. That is it.  
For a f—ing #1 pick."



cough...


That was the Cleveland pick acquired in the Jiri Welsch deal.  In  
other words Jiri Welsch was essentially traded for Rajon Rondo.   
Cleveland's pick will no doubt be in the 20s.
