I saw a bunch of the NBA people I follow on twitter sort of scoff at this trade, so we will see how real it actually is. They are probably leaking it as leverage on other teams.

Yep. It doesn't make much sense for the Mavs. Perhaps the Rockets, but even there I don't see that much of a reason to do it other than Rondo was really really good 3 years ago. Rondo isn't what he used to be.

If Wright and a late 1st is a baseline offer, Ainge outsmarted himself and waited too long to trade him.

Haralbob and Zach Lowe, who each obviously watch a ton of basketball, are saying that Rondo hasn't been a very good defender in years. Lowe thinks it may be due to effort, but this could really backfire on Dallas if it's age related.

if dallas gets rondo this is terrible news for the pels playoff chances. dallas looks to be the only team ahead of them that has a weakness

GSW
MEM
LAC
POR
HOU
SAS
OKC

all playoff locks
DAL is currently 5.5 games ahead of the pels

this team must get thru december at 500 and then rip off a bunch of wins in jan/feb to even be in the mix
