I'm sure they are asking for DMo but compared to what is on the table.. the Pellie's pick is the prime asset and assuredly the Rockets have it on the table. Capela+NJ+Pellies+2nd SacTown 2nd Rounder J.Hill and the Rocket's First Rounder? Please. Unless the Lakers put Julius on the table the Rockets will easily be able to make the best offer.
Come on Amir, We know you have some insider information! Has all the negative in here scared you away from that? Dallas with Rondo. Yikes.
I may have mixed feelings about Rondo on the Rockets, but I sure as hell don't want him on the Mavericks.
OMG get it done already Dallas. This hold up is why no one likes you. Boston needs to get Monta from Dallas.
Morey: "Ok Danny.... look here, you get the young Greek swingman, he is another Hedo in the making. You get our top young player, Canaan. Giving that one up hurts.... *sigh* and... that Knicks #2... you know who you can get in round two? Studs like Canaan and Parson and others. I made the same offer to Phoenix for Dragic, just agree Danny.... come on." Ainge: "I didn't ask for any of those players. I asked for Donatas or Johnson or the Pelicans pick. Are you even listening to me?"
Yeah, someone else, for the love of God, land him. Anyone else. Throw in one of OUR 2nd rounders with the Lakers offer for nothing coming our way in return. Just keep him out of Texas.

I don't see a way in hell Dallas gives up Ellis for Rondo. If they do, then we can all laugh as they slide down the standings. Rondo is a horrible offensive player and if Ellis is gone, Dirk will need to do twice as much work.
This is all Ainge trying to use the media to push up everyone's offer. I will not believe that Dallas is truly a possibility until the deal is done.
