    I'm pretty comfortable with PB and IC. They can both shoot and defend. On our team, Dragic would be more ideal.

    Would have to be for Ellis.

    Honestly don't understand what Dallas is doing here -- offense is not their problem, and defense from the PG position is not all that important, even as good as Rondo is and as much as he stuffs the stat sheet when healthy.

    I'm sure the Celtics would love a few late 1st round picks and veterans...

    This just doesn't make sense. Has to be Boston leaking this to drive up the price.

    Ellis and Wright for Rondo doesn't seem to make sense for either side.

    What do you guys expect? I am sure Morey offered Terry+an injured Jones and 2 2nd rounders for Rondo.

    We obviously weren't willing to include the NOP pick.

    "blossoming Mavericks center Brandan Wright". They act like he's coming off his rookie contract. He's been in the league for 7-8 years...

    That's the thing. It's not for Ellis. It's for some scrub picks and Brendan Wright, who's solid, but that's robbery for Dallas. Would be very frustrating to see Dallas upgrade like that.

    No I don't see Ellis and Wright. Look, Rondo's value isn't very high right now. Ainge held on to him hoping Rondo would play well and bring a huge haul. That isn't happening. Rondo isn't playing hard or well and my guess is he made it clear to Ainge he wants out.

    My guess is the Rockets are not offering DMo or any major rotation players. I would think possibly the Pelicans pick and salary relief. I suspect Dallas is over Wright and maybe a pick.

    Wright has size and can finish but is a mediocre defender.

    I think Morey would take Rondo, but not for as much as a lot of fans think he is offering.,I suspect the Rockets offer still affords flexibility at the deadline.
