I guess this means Aminu will get a bigger workload now, which personally I have been of the opinion he should be getting more PT.

And I wonder if this means Jermaine O'Neal is set to sign here soon?

BREAKING: Celtics agree in principle to deal sending Rajon Rondo to Dallas for Wright, Nelson, Crowder & 2 picks. (via @ESPNSteinLine)

Rondo is overrated but with a great big like Dirk & plenty of other shooters he should fit ok. Pretty fair price too. Only Wright was a player & you can survive the loss of him. A late 1st & Wright for Rondo isn't overpaying. Even if he is an awful fit, it's not like you risked your entire future.

Nice by Cuban to take the chance to help win now for Dirk. Having Dirk take less money to bring in Rondo/Parsons/Tyson is doing right by Dirk at the end of the day.

@WojYahooNBA
Trade call coming tonight between Dallas and Boston, Rondo has been traded to the Mavericks, league sources tell Yahoo.

[Robz4000]

Damn, was hoping they'd lose Harris in the deal. Still not sure if Rondo can play alongside Ellis but I guess we're about to find out Saturday.

Wow, Dallas gets a legit two way point guard for a bag of crap.

[baseline bum]

Hard to believe how good the West is becoming while most of the East is tanking.

[DPG21920]

Ainge really cost the C's a shot at a great deal by waiting so long. Even if he strikes gold w the Mavs pick it doesn't change the fact this is a pretty uninspiring deal for Rondo. He basically has to make other good moves & do really well for this to look like a win. He did ok, just didn't get near the value he could have if he acted sooner.

Can the Western conference secede and form it's own league now?

How did he do ok? Those picks are going to be near the end of their respective rounds, Nelson sucks, Crowder is complete . Wright is a serviceable backup, but damn that's a weak haul. I can't believe Sacramento couldn't beat that offer. Also, how is Ainge letting Dallas do this deal without dumping Jeff Green's contract on them too?

[Cry Havoc]

What a steal for the Mavs. Damn. Unreal.

[LkrFan]

This is GREAT for Dirk. Are the Mavs the favorites now?

[BatManu20]

Ainge, aside from his Big 3 pull, has been a pretty bad GM tbh..

[Phillip]

I was hoping they could have hauled in Brandon Bass in this deal as well, but oh well.

Monta will have learn to play off the ball

[ElNono]

They even got rid of Jameer Nelson... good job Cuban

[NASpurs]

Spurs play the Mavs on Saturday. Going to be fun.
