To help with the defense/toughness issues we have.. I'd see if Chicago would be willing to trade Taj Gibson. He's not a floor spacer at all, but is great defensively. And you know Chicago would throw in Rondo just to get rid of him.
Maybe a Carroll/CoJo for Gibson/Rondo swap? Rondo can be bad, but he can also be very good. A lot better defensively than CoJo. Offensively we'll take a big hit.. but perhaps its worth it just so we can keep guys like Kemba, Irving, IT and Wall in check a little bit (and we're going to face at least one of these guys in the playoffs).
If it doesn't work out well Gibson and Rondo are both free agents (Rondo has only $3M guaranteed for next season).
