What would Utah give up for Rajon Rondo?

So I pissed a few people off with my earlier trade question/suggestion.
That dream is over, and you guys say that any deal with Boston basically must include Rondo.
So what are you guys willing to give up for him?

Favors or Kanter and an exchange for picks?
You guys have two high picks this year I think.
Would you do Favors+a pick for Rondo+one our mid/late picks (15-20 range).

We don't want Harris (most of us think he sucks) and if you want to give him to us we want more.
 
ok we give you harris,,wait,wait,,let me finish,miles,bell,carroll,diet coke,chicken sandwich,Matt Harpring..what u say?
 
Favors is in the beginning stages of slipping toward touchable. There's been enough said on this over the last decade, so I'll sumarize. Bigs > smalls. Big center needs to score some and dominate the defensive paint. Jazz have lacked a big as The Piece. Point guards don't win championships.

The board says no. I say no because of Favors defensive prowess. A great team can always pick up a Steve Nash or a Chancey Billups or a Jason Kidd. They can not pick up a defensive stopper.

So what would you give up?
Millsap+your nets/GS pick ?

We aren't taking Harris and Big Al for Rondo as some have suggested, then we just become the Utah Jazz lol
 
How about this kidhustle?

Utah trades Harris and Al and GS pick
Receives Rondo and Oneal, JaJuan Johnson

Boston trades Rondo, JaJuan Johnson, Oneal and their 2012 first round pick
Receives Felton, Al and GS pick

Portland trades Felton
Receives Harris and Boston's first round pick

Works in the ESPN trade machine
 
milsap+favors or kanter for rondo,,i would do this,but u have to take Matt Harpring as the new Boston commentator
 
I know I'm in the minority here, but I personally wouldn't want to give up the GS pick in a trade at the deadline, that likely results in Utah also losing their own pick, just to be a first round exit. The ultimate price in the short term could be Al/Sap and two pretty good picks.

Therefore, my answer to this question, is that Boston's price for Rondo is just to high to do it now. I'd rather re-visit this in the offseason. If that means we lose out and have to look elsewhere, so be it.
 
For me, personally, there probably is no one player on the Jazz I wouldn't give up for Rondo. I do believe Jefferson is the best fit on a Boston team without RR though. IMO Jefferson + pick is a win for both sides.

If Ainge demanded one of the young bigs I would do it without sending the pick. I'm probably in the minority here though.

Edit: I also do not think trading during the season is a good idea for Utah unless it brings in an elite talent such as Rondo. This summer or next season Utah is really ripe with assets and will know their value much more reliably.
