Official: Rondo to Dallas!!

[MFFL]

Per ESPN

From the Dec. 18 trade to Saturday night, when Rondo was injured, the Mavs ranked seventh in the NBA in defensive efficiency and were allowing 100.6 points per 100 possessions. (That dropped to 98.7 when Rondo has been on the floor.) Opponents' 3-point shooting plummeted to 33.4 percent, the sixth-lowest in the league during that span.

Wow

I had forgotten how good Rondo was when he was with us. Until the end of course

I have to agree with the poster who said the board was overwhelming FOR the trade. Of course Dirk was near the end and we were looking past any problem to find the bright side

Anyone who knew how Rondo played and how Dallas played knew that trade was trash. Trading for Rondo broke the offense.

Retrospect is easy

When the trade was made we were in the same boat we are in now. Historic offense and bad defense. You need balance and we knew the offense would suffer but hoped the added defense would make up the difference
