Sorry, I forgot, multi-gazillionaires NEVER chase bigger dollars (endorsements, in Lebron's case).

I still have yet to see anyone give a realistic reason why Lebron would go to New York, other than he’s a Yankees fan.

Then they tried to center the team around a mediocre young guard while marginalizing this same player who also happens to have been one of the top 5-10 players in the league for most of the past 10-12 years. In other words they tanked the season. The Pistons traded Billups just to get rid of him for a player who is better than anyone on their roster.

Rondo is top 10, possibly top 5 PG, Stucky is bottom 10 in starting PG's. Yes he's young and might get better, but today, not even close.

Comparing Rondo and Stuckey is ridiculous. Rondo is top 10, possibly top 5 PG, Stucky is bottom 10 in starting PG’s. Yes he’s young and might get better, but today, not even close.

They were competitive up until last year.2006 -- Lost conference finals to Miami (eventual champs) 2007 -- Lost conference finals to Lebron 2008 -- Lost conference finals to a loaded Celtics team 2009 -- Swept in the first round.So it's not like they weren't competitive. They were probably one impact player away from becoming an elite team. Looking at how Detroit finished the following years since losing to the Spurs in the finals, I can’t really blame Dumars.

2006 — Lost conference finals to Miami (eventual champs)
2007 — Lost conference finals to Lebron
2008 — Lost conference finals to a loaded Celtics team
2009 — Swept in the first round.

So it’s not like they weren’t competitive. They were probably one impact player away from becoming an elite team.

The guy is a flat-out stud who's getting better every year. I fail to see much negative there.My ultimate concern, if that you've fundamentally misapprehended the situation - for you to find him ineffectual seems like more of a facade to me, and less intuitive then not. Dynastic. (couldn't find a way to work it in) I’ll never understand the divided sentiment on Rondo. The guy is a flat-out stud who’s getting better every year. I fail to see much negative there.

He also created a ton of space for Ferry to sign whoever he wanted. Ferry then ended up blowing it on Hughes,Marshall, and Jones.
