Mark Cuban pulled off an Auerbachian move with this trade........oh wait...how'd he do that?
I thought that stuff only happened in BOS
The question you need to ask yourself is, was Rajon going to resign with Boston? My personal belief is, that he was not.
If you are on the same thought path as I am, then getting a valuable big in Wright, plus a first for Rajon was a decent return at this stage. Rajon is saying he'll sign with Dallas, but I believe he's going elsewhere still in the off season.
We have a tremendous amount of assets in both draft picks, cap space, and young players to allow Danny all sorts of flexibility.
We should identify the untouchables and move on from there. IMO, there's Two, Smart and Sully. Everyone else could be dealt to bring back the pieces needed to get us back to the top.
While I see your point of view, I just firmly believe that, in spite of what we are hearing in the media - Rajon would've stayed in BOS. He would've perhaps even taken a paycut - "IF" he thought that Danny was going to get the pieces around him to succeed, or even try.
I just know that, to be a CELTIC - it would've been HUGE for Rondo to win as the Big Cheese, with the pieces around him - in BOSTON.
At this point I am a bit fearful that other teams will look at BOS as a Fire Sale - let's rake them for what we can. I'm just not too sure of what we are going to get back for the pieces on our team, now.
Don't get me wrong - I am one of the most optimistic posters on here, but this stuff here is just a shocker.
In BOS - we are patient...we wait...we don't do what they are doing in PHI.
BOS doesn't get into the Tank Business.
