ESPN: Celtics and Mavs discussing Rondo trade

[Fafnir]

With Wright being a free agent, it's like he's giving Rondo away for nothing.

For Crowder and two meh draft picks.

Plus the chance to be worse for a better pick of our own. We're on pace to make the playoffs currently, that might have Danny terrified.

time to add Smart to your fantasy squad, start ignoring reality..

Danny could just trade him in feb worse case.

Another update from Stein:

ESPN sources say teams closing in on swap to send Brandan Wright, Jae Crowder, Jameer Nelson, one future first & one future second to Celts

Danny wont be done after. Too many players.  I would puke if nelson got mins.  Rather play pressey

Wouldn't be surprised if Pressey and Powell were thrown in.

Salaries don't work, so you have to cut both of them.

[Neurotic Guy]

Man when this is what teams are willing to offer for your best player... you know your team is in the dumps... to think a few months back we were excited over Love and now this... being a fan of this team right now is really depressing

I understand, but my advice is to actually wait and see what happens.  Probably was premature to get excited about Love -- I don't think it ever felt like that was really going to happen.

Wait till Danny actually pulls the trigger on a Rondo deal before getting too depressed.   

[GreenWarrior]

wow! I hate jameer nelson.

[esel1000]

If you guys feel sick I have tickets January 2nd to watch Rondo destroy us live at TD in exchange for this garbage

[cb8883]

Hell yeah! I love this deal! Finally the tank can begin!!!

[fairweatherfan]

This deal is so inexplicable that it almost seems like Danny is doing it to improve our pick this year more than to get anything that's coming back. 

We are looking suspiciously close to mediocre so far, and that might've been good enough to make the playoffs in the East.

ok time to fall off the wagon 

[TheFlex]

My prayers have been answered

Lm*o.

It kind of feels like a pau gasol trade before we knew what Marc would be. Just trash.

[Beat LA]

Whoa:

ESPN sources say Mavericks and Celtics are progressing toward completion of Rajon Rondo trade tonight

Marc Stein

TP.  I'm with you 100%.  I'm so sorry, Rondo.   You deserve so much better than this.

couldn't we improve our draft pick by trading green and bass instead? and keeping bird rights for a top 30 player?

[ssspence]

C'mon Danny.... add Pressey for Smith in there!!!
