Trade 1: Boston sends Rajon Rondo and Kelly Olynyk to OKC for Steven Adams, Reggie Jackson, Kendrick Perkins, and a top 5 protected OKC first round draft pick in 2017.
Why Boston does it: In this trade they collect further assets for their rebuild. Adams will be their future rim protector. Jackson is an excellent offensive guard who would excel next to Smart, and they bring back a fan favorite (purely as salary filler). This depth chart looks pretty promising for the future:
We would not do this! Anytime you give up the best player in the trade, you lose the trade. That pick would be one of the last ones in the first round.
Did Denver lose the Carmelo Anthony trade?
This trade will not happen. I think Rondo will be staying. Hopefully Victor will sober up and play huge and we will not be talking about rim protection.
