You're wrong about Rondo's jumper though, it's gotten much better this season, and this is from someone who was skeptical if it would ever improve.

Rondo is shooting 25% from the 3 pt line this year which is WORSE than the 26% he has shot for his career. You do have a point in the sense that he has a more consistent midrange game. He can now hit a 15 ft jump shot...sometimes. He still can't hit a wide open three.

I guess you could get something for Ray Allen's expiring contract. What though?

The Celtics have always like Kirk's style of play...The contract situation is perfect for the Bulls, but do the Celtics want the remainder of a $17 million/year contract with at least 2 years left on it

My thought is that basketball hasn't been watchable since the early 90's.

That I agree with..

I'm probably the only person too who isn't a fan of the 3 point line.

The contract alone doesnt work though. The bulls would have to throw more in and the celtics would want more talent. Hinrich alone isnt going to make the celtics better. Tyrus Thomas AND hinrich has been rumored along with a filler for Allen and that trade might make sense.

The one that makes more sense for Boston would be Nocioni and Kevin Martin for Allen. Both of those guys could give significant contributions and Sac wants to get rid of their contracts.

Monta Ellis wont work with Rondo. I'd do Kevin martin and a toss in for Allen but i dont know if that makes them much better though it does make them a little younger. Bostons problem is KG isn't really KG anymore, Pierce cant stay healthy and allen has lost a half a step. Age, you cant defend against it.

He's only taken 47 threes, so that percentage is pretty much meaningless, and he's 9-for-22 in the last two months from three (4-for-6 in February) after starting 3-for-25. I'd say that's considerable improvement. His midrange jumper is actually a legitimate threat now too, he hits that shot a lot more often than sometimes. Rondo's biggest problem continues to be free throws.

Rumors have linked Hinrich/Thomas, Monta Ellis and Kevin Martin to the Celts for Allen.

Would this count as "something"?

MAKE IT HAPPEN DANNY. This is the only way the Celtics could beat Cleveland this year. Maybe Washington is just jacking up the price for Jamison from the Cavs though. Seems too good to be true.

That would be a hell of a trade for both teams. Maybe Boston gives up a couple of draft picks as well.

Looks like Boston might be a little late.
