I have mixed feelings on the trade for now. I love Rondo's game and I've always loved his toughness. However, I'm really worried about how he and Monta are going to mesh together. Both Rondo and Monta aren't very good three point shooters, which is why its always been important for them to have a good 3point shooter next to them in the backcourt (Think of Rondo/Ray Allen or Jose Calderon/Monta Ellis). But now we're going to pair two guys who both play their best when the ball is in their hands. Man, I think this is risky, especially considering we already had the best offense in the league. I hope Rick can make this work somehow.
