    Am I wrong in thinking that the Pelicans pick by itself is better than that garbage deal the Mavs are offering?

    Hate to break it to you, but Rondo isn't actually a good defender anymore.

    I can't stand Dallas, so you don't need to hate to break it to me. But I still see him as a better defender than what they have in Dallas on that perimeter.

    Dallas's loses their second rim protector on an already horrible defense.

    Pels pick >>> Rondo

    There's a chance at drafting Mario Hezonja with it

    Still terrible wing defense. No one can guard Harden on that squad.

    It's 50/50 that this pans out either way. The NBA is all about making the right move at the right time. It's just a business. Sometimes the gambles worth it and sometimes it's not. If DMO was the piece and that's an IF and DMO doesn't pan out.

    Rondo wins a ring for Dallas... That hindsight would be 20/20. I trust Morey, but if Dragic is the light at the end of the tunnel and we don't have him come Feb. Welp.....

    I'm sorry, bro. Wish you guys could get Randle, but looks like Mitch isn't desperate. Same with Morey.

    Good. They can have him. Now let's move on to something better.

    Dallas will be out of any future PG hunt, can't be used to drive the price up for us.

    We just missed a chance to push us in to Championship material, hopefully we can get something else done to push us to the next level

    Rondo being a bad defender is laughable. He now has talent around him if he goes to Dallas. That sh** will be insane. The guy steps up in playoffs....

    Well according to the numbers, Harris is a better defender than Rondo. Maybe he'll have his career take on new life now that he's playing elsewhere, but unless something changes, the Mavs defense is going to be worse now than it was before.

    shift focus to maybe getting a wing or big right now and then shoot for Dragic at the deadline

    I like that we didn't get him but I hate him going to Dallas, they are better now than they were before. That starting 5 is stacked.
