Rondo to Dallas?

Boston doesn't like the trade but it was inevitable. Rondo did not fit with their young core. They at least now have a 100% rebuild with no loose ends. Surely they will tank hard for the rest of the year. Its going to be very ugly basketball in the east as Philly, NY, Detroit, Charlotte, Boston, and maybe Milwaukee start resting players to vie for a top spot.

I have a lot of trust in Carlisle. This will work out well for the Mavs.

Ultimately Carlisle has only a little say so in the matter, but I really think that this is an outstanding move for both teams. I think the Mavs will benefit more in terms of playoff team production. The Celtics really have other things to think about before they can get there but this helps them. One thing I would be willing to bet on is that the Mavericks aren't done yet. This may be the first of another big move. I think when its all said and done, the Mavs could potentially be competing for the W.C Finals. They know that they will have to improve to compete against the stacked west. This was a move in the right direction IMO.
 
The Celtics problem is they make the right decision to trade a player 2 years after they should have pulled the trigger. They could have gained much more in return with Rondo, K.G., and Pierce. They talk about it and then wait 2 years. They did it with all 3 players. They talked about trading them and waited gaining much less assets in return. They still came out ok, but not as good as what they could have if they would have made this move when they were talking about it. (a year before Rondos injury)

Never made sense to me either. I guess they were eyeing Carmelo or Love and thought they had a chance at getting one with Rondo on the team.
 
We finished tied for the lottery last year, it went to a coin flip, we finally freakin' won a coin flip, and Boston had to pick after us. If Boston had Exum, I wonder if they would have held onto Rondo because he would actually have been a good mentor to Exum and Boston probably couldn't have given Exum the minutes they are giving Smart. Overall I'm just glad we boned Boston with Exum over Smart.

Yo PKM. You think Rondo still doesn't know who that Schröder kid is who was compared to him?
