lakers and celtics trade partners? who wouldve thought...
The Los Angeles Lakers have engaged in preliminary discussions with the Boston Celtics on a trade centering on Dwight Howard and Rajon Rondo.
The potential deal has not gained any traction, and other significant pieces would need to be involved.
The Lakers have adamantly stated publicly and privately that they will not deal Howard before the Feb. 21 trade deadline.
Danny Ainge would not pull the trigger on a trade sending Rondo for Howard unless the Celtics receive assurance that Howard would re-sign with Boston in the offseason, according to a league source.
I thought he was guaranteed to not be traded?

Just the thought of a Rondo/Kirby duo and a KG/Dwight duo would be hilarious.... one of those four would be crying or talking in the media every day, guaranteed...
already giving up on Nash
Please let this trade happen
Throw in KG, make the salaries match, then pull the trigger Mitch.
Add Terry and Artest to the deal.
oh god please let it happen
if the celts make JET and Rondo awailable on the trading block, dallas will or they should offer everything they have to get the deal done (draft picks, expiring s, OJ Mayo etc...) rondo is a stat-padding and he's overrated but he is a real PG at least, and dallas fans want JET back
Deal is a joke. Lakers already stuck with Nash for 2 more seasons at 10 mil per. Steal for Boston
Thought this was a straight troll thread, but it turns out to be a legit rumor:

Rondo playing with Kobe is a catastrophe waiting to happen. Kobe never really let Nash have the reigns to the offense. So rondo is going to be an off tthe ball point guard who can't shoot. At least Nash is a rreally good spot up shooter (for 10 mil rofl)oh god please let it happen
Boston would probably demand Nowitzki in any deal that involves Rondoif the celts make JET and Rondo awailable on the trading block, dallas will or they should offer everything they have to get the deal done (draft picks, expiring s, OJ Mayo etc...) rondo is a stat-padding and he's overrated but he is a real PG at least, and dallas fans want JET back
LA looking for the post Kobe era. Rondo is a solid PG, plays D too. The Celtics have some of the best draft scouts in the NBA, and Doc is a fantastic coach. They could win a 'ship with the Pierce - KG - Dwight core and then re-built around Howard. Rondo was expandable, the C's are better without him (but will miss him in the PO's, he runs the half-court sets better then anyone).
Sources say this story is made up by an unknown right now..I personally think it's Dwight's camp preparing to poison the well so they can leave LA and claim the organization wanted to go a different direction.
Rondo would compliment Kobe much better than Nash has.
i'm now convinced the size of his head is HGH
hes more ball dominant (not a good fit) and he can't space the floor (not a good fit)
he also has a big ego (really not a good fit)
Update:
Mitch Kupchak strongly denied the trade report in comments to ESPN's Chris Broussard.
"I haven't talked to Danny Ainge in weeks," Kupchak said. "I made the statement a week or 2 ago that we're not going to trade Dwight Howard and that hasn't changed."
Kupchak also said that he hasn't spoken with anyone else within the Celtics' organization.
Howard is a de able human being. If I had the power to make it happen I would choose a career ending injury for Howard over the Pelicans ever winning a championship. this man ... I mean en led .... is a disgrace, a coward, a liar, a hypocrite, and a joke of a man.
The Celtics would be foolish to acquire this locker room cancer.
