That's the craziest of crazy talk, Egg.  Rondo
surpasses Delonte in all facets of the game, even
shooting (I think he'll be a better shooter/scorer in
time...Delonte has the hype, but he's very streaky and
often hesitant to shoot his shots).  I don't believe
for a second that Ainge liked him better at the point
or that he'd be a better fit on this team.  I'll take
my chances with someone who is actually a point guard,
knows his role, can keep people in front of him on the
defensive end, use both his hands when dribbling and
shooting, can get the team into it's offense within 10
seconds....   People complain about the depth at point
right now, but if we were going into the season with
the non-point guarding, injury-prone, Delonte West as
our starting point, then we'd really have something to
complain about.  

I vow this is my last ever post on Delonte.  So help
me God.
