ESPN: Celtics and Mavs discussing Rondo trade

[Beat LA]

I sure as hell hope that there is a third party involved if this DAL rumor is true.

Gotta be.  There's no way Danny's accepting a trade centered around Wright + a late pick.  That's a horrible return.  Either Dallas is including one of their decent players or a 3rd team is involved.

DA...should be fired if he trades away a great player for scrubs .

Why start now?  He's done it before.  Ugh.

[Kadin]

Now it just seems like Woj is being fed a bunch of crap from teams trying to drive down the asking price.

[kozlodoev]

Brandan Wright, 2015, and 2017 with minimum protections. That has to be the bare minimum we're willing to play with.

I don't see why we would even want their 2015 pick. It's basically a second rounder.. Just toss it in the trash.

Or of course there could be this: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=k6aww4u

With the Pelicans 1st and the Dallas 1st coming our way... But then again, this doesn't NEED to be a three-way, since it works as two bilateral trades.

Boston has reached the point of no return on a Rondo deal and Danny Ainge is moving fast toward sifting offers and making his best deal.

Wojo

Wowwwwwwwwww

Oh god and his next tweet is even worse...

[BleedGreen1989]

The reality is this: Rondo's value no longer dictates an All-Star in return, and waiting until the trade deadline won't improve packages.

Hoo boy.  It might really be happening, and I haven't seen a single asset named that I'm at all excited about. 

KG + Pierce made a lot of sense despite no one great asset in the mix, but this is a guy who could contribute through 2020 at least.  Just doesn't make sense. 

[D Dub]

methinks someone else is going to have to take Green & Felton in a larger deal to make this work. 

Wright + Crowder = $6M while Rondo = $13M...

Wowwwwwwwwww

Skeptical. Woj doesn't like DA. Could he be trying to pressure him?

Pray for a third team....

Boston has traded Rajon Rondo to NBC's Basketball Talk for Sean Highkin and rampant Twitter speculation, league source confirms.

Who cares if we get an all-star... I'd even take Waiters at this point if Cleveland jumped in... he may not be worth an all-star but he's worth more than this garbage

Yeah both couldn't be any more than bench depth by the time Boston got more talent. Rondo's still a young player, guess he decided he wasn't going to be able to retain him in FA.

This is going to bum me out for a while if it happens.

That recent exposé piece aside, Woj is almost always right on the money with trade talk.

[fairweatherfan]

If we can get the Pelicans pick from Houston, I'd take it almost regardless of what players they're offering...it's at least likely to be a lotto pick, which is a heck of a lot better than a Brandan Wright rental and a low 1st.  And I LIKE Wright!  And Crowder! (as bench role players)

[Chief Macho]

I'd rather Danny just told everyone to go blumpkin themselves on principle than take these crap offers.
