Just saw this on the my local sports channel.

Rondo/Scalabrine/Giddens to Memphis For Rudy gay and Mike Conley.


Edit: They are saying that it's still not done but the deal is very likely.

no idea how reliable this is

I hope it's not reliable at all.

You know how mad I'd be?  This would be an awful trade imo.

We trade a top 5 pg for an okay young pg and a decent probably-won't-be-an-all-star swingman....

I despise that deal.  Young guys coming up for big extensions.  I like Rondo better than both of them.

Ya as good as gay is i don't think Conley can run this team.  If we get back the number two I wouldn't mind

Great trade for Memphis. They get the best player in the deal and hold on to the #2 pick.  >:(

Wow.  So Conley would be our starting PG.  Not sure how much I like that.  I do like Gay alot and would be  pretty good future replacement for Ray.  Maybe there would be a second move following this but not crazy about this idea.  Thanks for the update Jeff.

The only way this deal works is if the #2 is involved...

The only way I would ever do this deal is if we get the #2 and then select Rubio.

Memphis obviously wouldn't do that.  Would they?

Rondo is worth a lot but not that much.

Maybe Rondo for Conley + #2?  Essentially Rondo for Conley and Rubio.  I think I might do that.

No way I do this trade without getting the #2. Conley from Rondo is a significant downgrade.

I think the second shoe to drop would be a Ray Allen trade. Conley was pretty good the second half of the season.

Yeah, but Ray for what?  Geeze, how different would our team suddenly be?  This can't be plausible....

I'll wait for confirmation on this; I've learned not to trust RealGM rumors.

I don't buy it for a second, but this is the type of deal I think it would take to get Rondo out of Boston.
