Rondo is a terrible basketball player, so usually I would say it's a stupid move, but the Mavs are so terrible at PG that it may not be such a bad idea..

[AlexJones]

Who the fuck do the Mavs have to trade?

[Monostradamus]

Whatxexactly do the Mavs have to offer? A crappy 1st rounder and Ricky Ledo? Doubt that even gets Boston's trade weeny to flinch a little.

[BatManu20]

Who the fuck do the Mavs have to trade?

I would assume a combination of a player and future draft picks? Reports are Boston wants multiple picks for him.

[BatManu20]

The thing is, Rondo will be a FA next summer, and will almost certainly not re-sign with Boston as they are nowhere near contending. So, Boston needs to trade him this year even if they don't get equal value. They likely won't rush it, but they almost have to move him this year.

It'd be a boon for the Mavs. I've always admired Rondo.

WTF? Brandan Wright might be more valuable to this team than Rondo would be.. fuck

[angrydude]

Why does Houston want Rondo? How the fuck would that work?:lol..

The rockets don't need their pg to shoot. Just pass to harden and howard.

For the mavericks, it just makes no sense. That's not the type of team they are.

I hope Boston is just trying to get more out of Houston and Cuban is in on this just to troll Morey

Wojo:

Mavericks are willing to give Boston a 2015 first-round pick with limited lottery protection, sources told Yahoo Sports.Before a deal is consummated, Dallas needs to confer with Rondo's agent, Bill Duffy, about the franchise's ability to re-sign him as a free agent in the summer. Those conversations wouldn't happen until an agreement is in place. If Rondo agrees to this, the deal is set.

Mavericks will not go for this trade unless Rondo agree that the Mavericks will resign Rondo during free agency. If Rondo and his agent agrees, the deal is complete.


Wow, so it may actually be possible to get him without giving up Wright? Or is Wojo missing some details I wonder? Seems too good to be true...

Rondo will be looking for a pay day imo. He's not taking anything less than parker money ($15/yr) tbh.

I would assume so, which is why I said "seems too good to be true"

As long as the Mavs can snag themselves a servicable backup center (defensive minded preferably), this should all be worth it.

Already gave Parsons close to one, it would only make sense to do the same for Rondo

i dont know how he suits the mavs or rockets, when there goto guys dont like playin off the ball...

[100%duncan]

Yeah Monta has been great with you and him playing off the ball doesnt make much sense. However, if he'd be willing to play the manu role with more minutes then that would make Dallas better for sure

[Franklin]

How and who? Isn't Rondo the only piece you're gonna get from the C's
true, so we'd need to seek another trade or involve a 3rd team in the deal. we have a band of guards right now who're decent enough to be 6-7th guys on most NBA teams but whose minutes would be further severely compressed after Rondo's arrival. We'll need to trade them away anyway, and it shouldn't be too hard to find a few potential buyers for Harris and Nelson (Felton is flat out trash though).

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Rondo starting, with Ellis coming off the bench plus a decent big to back up Tyson would improve the Mavs. But those are really big if's right now.

Aminu is an awful player but will come in handy in the playoffs when parsons starts being useless again... wright is a great back up center.

I'd give up aminu, but Dallas needs a serviceable center in return.

[mavsfan1000]

Stupid trade.

[Robz4000]

Rondo improves Dallas' perimeter D but he can't play with Ellis. Giving up Harris and Wright for him is also dumb. As a Spurs fan I hope they give up Harris; he kills the Spurs in the playoffs like Mo Williams does in the regular season.

[Malik Hairston]

Rondo just isn't a good player anymore, tbh..

This is typical NBA "name recognition" hype..he hasn't been an All-Star caliber player since 2012..

Why do people never learn about point guards that can't shoot? It doesn't work in the NBA, it's way too easy to shut down..

[scanry]

How many times are they gonna trade Devin Harris tbh? The Mavs with Harris have always killed the Spurs.

This will be a stupid trade if the Celtics bite.

I don't get everyone saying "Rondo needs the ball in his hands and won't mesh with Monta". Rondo spent years in Boston with Pierce and Allen handling the ball plenty, and there wasn't much of an issue. The bigger problem is Carlisle, who is notorious for being overly hard on PG's. I could see that being a big issue.

Hi

[100%duncan]

I don't get everyone saying "Rondo needs the ball in his hands and won't mesh with Monta". Rondo spent years in Boston with Pierce and Allen handling the ball plenty, and there wasn't much of an issue. The bigger problem is Carlisle, who is notorious for being overly hard on PG's. I could see that being a big issue.

Allen was running around, spotting up for open J's while Pierce handled the ball posting up but iirc only during crucial moments or in the 4th quarter. And he wasnt as ball dominant then. Also Monta needs and uses the ball more than Pierce or Allen in order to be effective.

That is not really a "stacked" team tbh.

[ambchang]

I would imagine their go to line up after the trade would be:

Rondo
Ellis
Parsons
Dirk
Chandler

Rondo and Chandler can be shut down relatively easy, but Dirk can create for a lot of guys.
Parsons can nail the open shot, and Dirk can create his shot anywhere on the court.
Ellis can create for himself and others, but it would be easier to funnel him by leaving Rondo open
Dirk can create for himself and others, but it would be easier to double him by leaving Chandler relatively open without letting him roll to the basket
Parsons can be contained by sticking a man on him constantly

Defensively, Rondo and Chandler can man the perimeter and the paint, respectively. Dirk is average, Parsons can easily be exploited, Ellis is inconsistent, and can be explioted through movement.

Overall, the Mavs will still have too many holes, and it depends whether Carlisle can cover up those holes well. A team like the Spurs, GSW, Rockets, or Grizzlies matches up very well with them and the road to the finals will go through at least one of those teams. The Mavs however, matches up well with OKC, and Blazers.

I don't see this move improving the Mavs chances significantly. They may win a few more games in the regular season, but will not likely go too much deeper in the playoffs, likely the 2nd round.

[Chillen]

That is not really a "stacked" team tbh.

I was just in the mood to mess around a little bit this morning here, so I was just hyping this potential trade up. I think the Mavs will be better with Rondo if it happens and an even harder out in the playoffs but no not biggest epic chokejob in NBA history.

I am a huge Spurs and Bulls fan, and I can tell you that 6 is the biggest epic chokejob in NBA history I have ever seen, but it pains me to say it. So yeah, I ain't ever forgetting that cluster fuck. The Spurs redeemed themselves in 2014 and destroyed the Miami Heat 4-1, but the stinger from 6 still hurts.

I don't even want to know what a Bulls/Spurs Finals would feel like and that is a realistic possibility this season.

This guy is legit btw.


So this is how this is working... A lot of you are asking how things go down etc.

Ainge is leaking all this to all the big reporters - Amick, Stein, Woj, Spears... Just to name a few.

He obviously has an agenda. He is trying to get the price up, up, up! He leaks the names of these teams so people can put their offers out there and compete. This is obviously his reasoning behind all this.

He really wants the Lakers to give their first (Rox first), Randle, and also Nash's expiring (which the costs are mostly covered by insurance).

It is now becoming more of a bidding war.

Pierce and Allen are awesome shooters. Montas like a 30% 3 point shooter and is shooting the same percent from there this season.

[Mr Bones]

Brandan Wright is going to be a free agent after this season, and most likely will get a decent pay raise. I like this trade, if only for the fact that it lowers the likelihood of him resigning with Dallas. He'd be a perfect player to platoon with Splitter, because his strengths are pretty much the opposite of Tiago's in terms of match ups. He'd be the better small ball center to play against athletic teams like Golden State, while Tiago would be the better choice against bulkier teams like Memphis.

[AlexJones]

Plus, Allen is one of the greatest of all time at playing off the ball and Pierce learned to do that near the end of that Celtics run.

It occurs to me that not only is Rondo a terrible fit in Dallas, he's actually not among the top half of starting PGs in the NBA now.

More fun with Rondo stats. The Mavs thrive on PnR actions with Dirk. Rondo ranks in the 18th percentile as a PnR ball-handler, per Synergy.

Per Synergy, Rondo is 31st percentile on D this year. Doing a good job against PnR, though, at 66th%. Last year, 11th%. 40th vs. PnR.

Mavs built around PnR. Rondo is 18th % per Synergy. 11th percentile last year. That's not about his PnR partners. That's having no jumper.

Having a point guard who wants to control and probe compromises the entire point of the system. And it's one based off PnR.

The argument I keep getting is that Rondo is a distributor/gets assists. @haralabob (https://twitter.com/haralabob) has done a great job explaining Rondo's "assist whoring"

Is Rondo better than Nelson? Yes. Is he a better fit offensively? No, because you can at least station Nelson on the weak side a 3PT threat.

This isn't fantasy basketball. You don't just add a player because he's "better" than your current starter. You have to consider fit.

Whether it's a good fit or not, getting a player of Rondo's caliber for that price is a steal imo..

Sure, but that leaves a big hole at the C position.

[AlexJones]

Tyson will inevitably suffer some injuries as the season goes on. I can't wait for the Mavs to start Dirk at C.

[BatManu20]

Agree with that. Surprised the mavs aren't at least trying to get Zeller back in the deal.

[Jodelo]

IF the deal is done they would have Rondo, Nelson, Harris, Barea and Felton. Some move will be done around two of them i guess, has to.

[AlexJones]

Harris is the only one that has a semblance of trade value. I'm fine with JJB being the backup PG actually

He is having a really nice season (41% from deep), he's a keeper.

Hurry up and trade us Rondo, you red-headed Mormon motherfucker.

Villanueva's about to start getting some PT now imo.

Doesn't matter. Rondo not trying very hard.

Southwest so stacked. Morey better get that Pelican lotto pick + TPE for Dragic done soon.

[Bulaien999]

Wonder what the rockets were offering.

[Samuel Eto'o]

Idk man.... The more I look at that Mavs package the more I laugh. Lol that package fucking sucks........ Mavs beat writers are claiming the talks are very real and far along but I don't see it.

Ainge is playing Cuban and Morey can trump any deal Dallas makes. Easily


I just don't see Dallas getting him. Period....... They don't have the assets to get it done, even with Rondo's decreasing value. That says it all


Dallas is the team that makes the most sense. But that seems to be losing steam rather quickly...... Probably ends up in Houston. Fat Morey continues to own that transvesdike Cuban


What a douchebag

One thing for sure:::don't believe anything you hear now. It'll all be horseshit.
