Now that J.J. Redick is a Buck and is going to get a long-term deal from the team this summer, what happens to Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings? They could be gone. Jennings hopes to land in Dallas via a free-agent deal this summer and the Mavs would love to get him, but he’s restricted.

Rajon Rondo accepted responsibility for the Boston Celtics’ 0-2 start to the season.

“We have to trust one another defensively,” Rondo said after allowing 21 points and 13 assists to Brandon Jennings in a 99-88 loss to the Bucks on Friday. “It starts with me. I have to do a better job on the ball. We can say we [trust each other], but on the court it shows we’re not pulling in weakside [help]. There’s a lot of things.

“We’ve just got to start somewhere, and that’s the good thing about the league — we can start tomorrow.”

In two games, opponents have shot 50.3 percent against Boston, including 47.1 percent from beyond the arc.

“I’m going to try to come out and set the tone defensively [Saturday night against the Wizards],” Rondo said. “That’s all I can do. We’ve got to each look ourselves in the mirror and find a way to dig down and bring something to what we’ve been doing. Bring a little bit more to the game. I’m the point guard, I’m the first line of defense, I initiate the offense. I’ve got to be better.”

(Brandon) Jennings posted the first triple-double of his NBA career with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the Bucks' 98-88 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats before a crowd of 16,519 at the Bradley Center.

"The first thing is I'm happy we finally got a win," Jennings said while a crowd of reporters gathered around his locker. "It seemed like everything was clicking tonight. The offense was running smooth, and everybody was being unselfish."

NBA News 2010: Fantasy Basketball: Which Players Will Lead You to a Fantasy Basketball Championship This Year?

BEIJING - AUGUST 22:  Dwight Howard (R) #11 an...Image by Getty Images via @daylife
Personally, in the league I've been in the past two seasons, the team that drafted Dwight Howard ended up winning the championship both years, so…yeah, I'm ready to put all marbles in the D-Ho basket once Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Chris Paul go off the draft board with the first three picks. It's not a huge shock, figuring how rare a consistent shot-blocker is becoming in the NBA; then again, you've gotta resign yourself to punting the FT% category right away after drafting Dwight. 

Otherwise, there are two types of players to be targeting in the draft this year: Those who had new life breathed into their NBA careers for whatever reason, such as Kevin Love, Michael Beasley and Darren Collison; or those with a more talented starting lineup than last year, such as Kevin Martin and Brandon Jennings.
