Danny Ainge has learned a very valuable lesson in waiting too long to make obvious deals. Rondo was always going to be traded, but he willingly waited until his value was nowhere near what he could have gotten.
We gotta make a move. We have a better record, but our star player is playing 50 minutes a game while the Mavs have been resting Dirk. Yet their not far behind us. Morey needs to upgrade our backup center and add some depth to the bench. If the deadline passes and Joey Dorsey is still our backup, then this season will go to waste
You could also say that the Rockets have been resting Dwight. Let's see what happens to Dallas's depth after the trade.
Don't worry. We can do hack-a-Rondo. His FT shooting is worse than Dwight. Anyway, I never wanted Rondo on the Rockets. Let's see how he helps the Mavs.
Rondo helps Dallas in some areas, but Dallas now has to stay healthy cause they have no depth and no bench
