I get your idea of trading Rondo for a lottery pick, but I agree with others that the pick is too low. This draft is considered so stellar because of the top 5-6 players, not because the talent is deeper than ever before. We would essentially be trading Rondo for a guy like Olynyk. While I have high hopes for Kelly, he is certainly not near the caliber of Rondo. Rondo is a franchise-level all-star and supreme playoff performer. There are many trade scenarios out there including him, but unless we are getting a top-level young big man in return, I just don't see him going anywhere...and that is fine with me.
