I guess this is the issue then

when exactly did the Cs try to rebuild around Rondo?

the issue, again, is PP and KG

who both are damn near giving you career lows across the board

KG has 3 and PP and has 2 years left

those contracts are dogshit right now

that's the issue

how is the solution to trade your most valuable player

and keep these dogshit contracts

bring in any of those players you propose

and they'll still be dragging PP and KG's corpses up and down the court every night

except now

you won't have a top 5 PG anymore

= doesn't make sense

amnesty

trade deadline for picks

the Cs have to get out from under PP's and KG's contracts

and actually try to build around Rondo before saying it doesn't work
