Knicks Master Plan: Have Rondo Force Trade To Them

[jonathanlambert33]

According to league sources, the Knicks first prong is to try to attract the Celtics Rajon Rondo. This idea has been tossed around in various forms for a while now, its not shocking. But the way the Knicks are hoping to get Rondo is a little unusual.

Its not in free agency in 2015 but later this season or next summer when he comes back from a torn ACL. The Knicks are hoping Rondo will be interested in making a maneuver similar to what Anthony did back in 2011 and eventually try to force a trade to the Knicks, sources said

If that fails and who knows how Rondo will mesh with this Celtics team, it could work well and he could want to stay the Knicks fully believe they will get one or two of the following in free agency in 2015 when they expect to have large salary-cap space: Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge, Roy Hibbert, Marc Gasol, Tony Parker or Rondo when his contract is up. Under certain circumstances, (LeBron) James himself could be a free agent again that summer.

these baboons just need to focus on building a winning team, stop worrying about adding star players in two or three years, while your star you have no gets older.

yea, because we really "forced" Denver to take Wilson Chandler, Gallinari, some 1st rounders, etc.

It's amazing how this team isn't even much different than the one who finished as the 2 seed last year.
 
Not having Tys for a while and JR completely falling off has really hurt.

And when they run any play, 85% of the time Felton looks like he has no idea what he's running. I think Kidd retiring is hurting more than some people expected.

Kidds gonna get fried and return to the Knicks as the starting PG...
