They haven't been contenders because of Rondo, and to call him the best player on the C's for 3 years is pure hyperbole.

I can understand this view, but part of the definition of a franchise player is tat a franchise is building their team around him, have the C's been building around Rondo? Come the entire fuck on.

The Blazers are now buiding their team around LMA. Like it or not.

If Kevin Love is a franchise player (lol), then LMA is.
