Sure...the "potential" for fireworks is there but I'm not so confident that it's likely to happen. 

Maybe if worst case scenario happens with the lottery. 

I just think this is a multi-year rebuild and this season being the rock bottom.

Ainge is going to initiate/attempt to make some deals unlike this past trade deadline where he did didly.

But i can understand also why he didn't do anything. If we traded Rondo to Sac, and they won alot more games, the worth of the 2014 pick drops down significantly. By keeping Rondo , Sac still stinking and now really needing a pg for next season, you could try to pry off more from them or at least get yourself a top 10 pick. Though the way Rondo has finished off, i don't think no team is going to give up a top 10 pick for him.  I rather take my chances with Smart, Exum or even Ennis, then trade them for Rondo.

On the flipside, we are going to have a top 5 or 6 pick. Danny might of known a guy like Love can't be had , unless the pick is guaranteed to be in this range. Now that it is, he can put together a package including the pick and Sully for Love.

So the effort will be there this time but as for the end result  there is a decent chance nothing happens. Nobody is willing to overpay for Rondo and teams like the Wolves rather keep Love
