Harris/Barea/Felton isn't going to cut it.

I'm not crazy about overpaying Rondo but looking at the alternatives is pretty scary.
Yeah, I mostly agree. I think thiggy is right that Rondo's current level of play would be much easier to replace. But if Rondo walks and the Mavs get nothing for him, I find it very difficult to envision them competing for a championship next year. As you say, Harris + Barea + filler isn't going to win you a title (as much as I like Harris's game of late).
