Has your perspective on the Rondo trade changed? Have you warmed up to the return?
only thing that's changed is the information that Rondo wanted out but was being discreet. with that info, I now understand Danny's need to trade him.
What we received was pure crap. worse than what we received in the first Antoine trade.
We got:
1) a washed up Jameer Nelson who we'll be stuck with for another year.
2) a journeyman undersized center that can block shots but has no offense to speak of other than garbage points around the basket
3) a "3 and D" forward that has an inconsistent 3.
4) a first rounder that's so heavily protected we won't receive it until next year when we already have 3 other first rounders. Granted they could be worse next year or they could be better after resigning Rondo and having the rest of this year to gel. in all likelihood, the pick will be in the high 20's.
5) a second rounder next year when we already have 3 others.
6) a trade exception over $13 mill that we may not be able to use if we can't find someone willing to trade a player making that kind of money
