Fictional Trade of the Day: Getting Rid of Rondo

If you've been living under a rock, you know that Rajon Rondo is a nutjob. An extremely talented point guard, yes, but also mentally unstable. As Boston has taken offers for trades involving him, he's become even more crazy. His most recent incident? He's suspended two games for throwing the ball at a referee. It's time for Boston to move him. Take a look at a few options, and keep in mind that all trades at this point in the season also have expiring contract/free agency implications: 

The JPoint Champion Crown Changes Hands

This time, it's a point guard:

Jeff Teague, of the Atlanta Hawks

Teague led the Hawks with 24 points in a win over the lowly Hornets last night. Teague's stat line:

24 points, 9-11 FG, 4-4 3FG, 2-2 FT, 4 assists, 1 rebound, steal


71.7 JPoint


So there you have it. Teague led the Hawks to a gritty win (Teague was really the only guy who played well) by taking good shots - and he also led the team in assists (with 4, just to show you how poor a game it really way). He's the first player to ever (officially) break a 70 JPoint. Granted, I haven't really checked every player and I don't count guys who take less than like 7-8 shots. In time, the qualifications for the crown will change. But for now, it's Teague. Congratulations.
