was reading this article by espn about the potential rondo to mavs deal. i guess i can’t believe that the celtics would move rondo for as little as brendan wright, fillers and draft picks (probably late 1st’s). has rondo’s value dropped this low or are the celtics drumming up more interest from other teams by throwing this out there or are the celtics purely in desperation mode to move rondo before the deadline? any thoughts? to me, a move like this should at least move gerald wallace with it and there’s no real scenario where the mavs can keep their big 4 (chandler, dirk, parsons and ellis) and absorb that contract…which confuses me on rondo’s value even more. maybe i’m missing something.

As an expiring contract, most teams would be wanting Rondo to do a sign and trade which puts Rondo himself in the driving seat. He will understably only want to go to a contending team.

Quality PG in the NBA, there are heaps of them. The only contending/playoff teams I can think of who need a good PG would be Houston and Dallas. Even then Houston, with Harden controlling ball alot Pat Beverly may actually be a better fit.

Detroit and Sacramento might be interested, but if Rondo is not interested in them, makes it tough for those teams as they can only "rent" him for the rest of this season.

Rondo will be 29 in Feb, is coming off a serious injury and is starting to miss games. A three year deal at approx $10mill would be ok for Rondo but he might be thinking 5 years at $12-15 mill which would be a risk to any team signing him.

This trade really escalated quickly.  Wojo is reporting it could get done tonight and Ainge is past the point of no return with trading Rondo.  Sounds like Rondo will be a Maverick.
