The Why's...

Why for the C's?

Although you're giving up your starting backcourt since 07, you receive 5 young players that can be building blocks for years to come. Hibbert lessens the gamble that is Oden. Pierce, Granger, Green, and Fernandez make for a nice rotation at the 2/3. Collison is a nice, improving player.


Why for the Pacers?

Bird is shopping Granger. Hibbert is a big loss, but that's what it takes to get Rondo. Rondo's arrival make Collison expendable. JO comes back to retire as a Pacer, be it for one season or less. #21 and #24 picks, to go along with their own #15, gives Bird a chance to stockpile young inexpensive talent.

Why for the Blazers?

Allen improves their ability to win next season. Aldridge, Camby, Wallace, Miller, and Allen provide a starting 5 that is very capable of being a very tough out in the playoffs. Oden seems like someone that Portland wants to cut ties with. Rudy has been dangled in trades for a couple of years now.

Asfter This Trade the celtics can't win for a some years

[slamtheking]

let's see here...
C's get a prime scorer in Granger, a capable PG in Collison, a bench scorer in Fernandez and 2 young Centers (one still developing and one a chronic injury) for an all-star PG, a very old SG, a chronically injured plus old C and a low 1st round pick in a crappy draft?   

Indy may be shopping Granger but if they're looking to get Rondo, it won't take both Collison and HIbbert to get him.

Portland isn't giving up Oden without either seeing him on the court or determining he'll never play again.  They might do a Rudy for Ray swap based on talent and remaining careers but salaries don't match.

[CelticSince83]

There is no way Indiana makes this trade.  They would go from a young playoff team to battling with Phoenix and the Utah Jazz for the #1 pick in the 2012 draft.  Who is Rondo going to dish off to?  Brandon Rush?  They are essentially trading their 3 best players for Rondo, JO (so, nothing), and a bunch of late first round picks.  No way Indi does this.
