    Not really. That is how deep the West is. Dallas will still have trouble.

    Trade details must be wrong, there is no Jamar Nelson in the NBA

    Whoa there partner!

    This just gets them into the conversation. Rondo has to actually show he can play defense again.

    The Mavs didn't even overspend. That is a garbage trade for Boston. Good trade for Dallas, but I still say they are no higher than the 6th seed.

    I think Dallas gave away 3 quality pieces. Nelson was playing great for them and so was Wright.

    I've also never seen Monta be able to co-exist with any other alpha male in the backcourt. Monta needs the ball in his hands. I actually think this move HURTS the mavs.

    This move hurts the Mavs.... Ellis is not a SG sized player.

    I can't believe this- I agree 100% with What. This makes up for everything else.

    Rondo can't handle Pat Bev at this point. Bev is going to make Rondo wish he stayed in the East...

    Morey couldn't pull the trigger on D Mo and I'm glad he didn't. The Dragon is better than Rondo, we can beat them this year with Bev and destroy them next season with the dragon

    Until proven otherwise? You mean the last 8 years playing at an all star level wasn't enough? Good lord, I much prefer Dragic because of his ability to knock down threes.. But don't kid yourself about rondo being some kind of overrated scrub.

    Huh?

    Nelson was playing ok at best for them, let's not just casually use words like "great".

    Best trade ever, Rondo will cancel Ellis ( who's their best player so far) one of them might not re-sign next year.

    & one injury might take them from playoff totally (Tyson or Dirk).

    Best part we did't loose DMo,Terry or Papa and still can push for Dragic
