Was about to say I dont believe it until Woj says it, but he just did:
"Trade call coming tonight between Dallas and Boston, Rondo has been traded to the Mavericks, league sources tell Yahoo.
Boston will send Rajon Rondo and Dwight Powell to Dallas for Brandan Wright, Jae Crowder, Jamar Nelson, 2015 first-round and future second."
Wondering who will replace Wright now, cant play Smith 20 minutes against the Spurs (or against anyone)

We knew this team was not a contender as previously constructed. This is our chance. Lets hope it works.

Gotta hope that Rondo's decline has everything to do with playing on a bad team. Otherwise, on the losing end of the trade

A quick look at his numbers, his free throws dropped 30% from last year? Effort? Work in the gym? Sad team, no one but him to push him. Some signs point to just being with a bad team....but his rebounds 7 and a half per this year a career high, by a bunch.....he's putting effort in the game, not at practice(free throw drop?).
Now are the Mavs in play for Ray Allen?

Talking more about his defensive decline. Not a decline in his numbers.

So what is next?
Can't imagine that we are putting such a great opportunity at risk by relying on Smith and Powell to backup TC.
There has to be another move coming.

Now we can resign Rondo, Ellis, and Chandler to whatever deal is fair and have a contender for Dirk's golden years. Won't have any cap room but a hell of a team though

We might even have a lot of cap room left after the deal, too, two summers from now. The cap is probably going to go up to like $100M.

I think next season. If he's waived (which he won't be) then it's a calendar year, but I think if he leaves, becomes an UFA, we can sign him this summer.

I have given it a few games now, but...
am i the only one who hates rondos style of play?
I really think he made us worse.A lot. Can`t shoot and i see no good defense. Our spacing is so bad when he is on the floor. half of his passes are deflected; and it gets worse...
I think he cost us the season. please do not give him the max next year. for 5 mil. he is ok. but he is not a star player anymore.

No, you are not the only one who hates his game. I don't hate it nearly so much as some others, but I'm definitely having some buyer's remorse.

I wouldn't worry about that. Rondo has about as much chance of getting a max deal as Shawn Bradley does.
