Rondo?

Giving up a back up center and parts for a top 5 point guard is a no-brainer. If the knock on Rondo is that he can't shoot then we are in luck, because everyone else on this team does shoot. We suck at defense and rebounding. He's an upgrade in both areas. As much as it sucks giving up Wright, our team will instantly be better and we will have financial flexibility to keep the core of Dirk, Chandler, Parson, Ellis and Rondo for years to come. That could be appealing to keep Rondo here after he becomes a FA in the offseason. It could also prolong Dirk's career, which we all want to see.

Well, duh. Hell, it's an even a no-brainer for a Top 10 PG. Unfortunately Westbrook, Curry, CP3, Lowry, Conley, Kyrie, Rose, Parker, Wall, and Lillard aren't on the market. Hell I'd do it for Teague, Lawson, D-Will, or Bledsoe with no qualms too. When you get down to a league average PG who happens to be a terrible fit for our league best offense though, that's a little different.

But he's a fantastic fit for our league worst rebounding and our bottom 5 defense.

Isn't that more important than fitting with an already uber-elite offense? If we fall to, say, 8th in offense, but climb to 10-15 in defense, that's probably a trade we should all take. And I doubt our offense falls that much. I agree he's a really bad fit offensively, but he's replacing Jameer freaking Nelson.
