This really cracked me up reading it. In 1 breath the Asik (deservedly so), Jrue (mildly deserved), Hill (Possibly a fine deal), Ajinca (Relatively irrelevant) and Moore (A fine deal) are getting absolutely crucified by Pels fans, and in the next breath the suggestions of players we need to get have equally bad if not worse contracts.
Composite Poster:
My GOD, we paid that much for Jrue? Add that to the awful Asik and Hill contracts and we're completely effed.
Trade Idea: Let's Trade all our assets for Parsons and Knight.
???????????????????
It has to become official first. It's only been agreed upon right now. Nothing has been signed. Kushner suggested that we are probably trying to work another deal first.
If I had to guess Rondo probably agreed to take different amounts of money depending on what other deal(s) we could make happen.

I'm just worried that Rondo is going to destroy the locker room
I agree with your point on the jumpers, but I think he'll figure out that AD is one of the best if not the best mid range shooters in the game, plus he likes assists anyway so he'll gladly pop it to AD for shots. I think you're right on the driving issues, and if he can't do that we're essentially screwed anyway. Thing is I think AD and Boogie will garner enough attention to allow him to work the seams for good looks, whether for him or for others.
The ego things is essentially the crux, if he can't get past that of course it's going to be really bad, but really he hasn't had teammates this good for close to 5 years, I think he'll gladly work with these guys because he can rely on them. The other thing is that Rondo has never been a big scorer anyway, he's less than 14 per game in his highest scoring seasons. He does all those other things you need in a good offence, which I think could really work out, though having Hill out there might clog up the lanes. Worse case scenario is that we have a similar problem to Minnesota last year with Rubio.
Courtney Lee is the guard we need. Not sure how we get him, but he's who we need. A 1st and Asik for Lee would be my guess.
If Asik is involved, we most probably would have to add our 1st. Courtney Lee would be a great fit here, but if we were to trade for him, I would think that would have to involve trading out Moore since they would be slotted into the same role as back-up SG, with Moore probably being better on defense, and Lee being the better at coming off screens as a shooter.
Still have that back-up SF spot that seems like should be the main focus to fill. Preferably one who is a 3-pt specialist who has the size to guard SF's. Jared Dudley is the name that keeps coming up as a good fit in that role, although at this point he's probably a stretch 4, and Cunningham could be retained in that role with better defense and rebounding.
Now that it was mentioned, I wonder what it would take to get Chandler Parsons.
Cousins
Davis
Parsons
Holiday
Rondo
That sounds good to me. I have no problem with us shipping off Moore to get that deal done. We have Jordan Crawford as the firepower off the bench.

So Rondo for 1 year, then next summer....
JOHN WALL!
To me, you can complain about Dell signing/trading for bad contracts, or you can want to trade for Chandler Parsons. You can't do both.
The target floating around is Wes Matthews, which would make slightly more sense but I still hate it. I'd rather stretch Asik, use the MLE on Jackson/Rondo, and fill out the bench using TPEs
