Actually it was the Carmelo trade that set the precedent. Nets offered virtually the same package for Anthony. The difference here is that Utah wasn't trying to actively trade Deron. And he had not demanded a trade. Rondo is playing his way out of Boston with his game and attitude. I do agree, however, that Boston wouldn't accept anything less than one of our young bigs for Rondo. You'd solve the logjam by giving them Kanter, but then Jefferson and Millsap have Greggy Boy and Kevin O'Lindsey by the "pair" during FA negotiations as Utah would need to re-sign both to have a strong 3-man rotation.
