    I guess I'm one of the few who is unimpressed with rondo. I think he would be a bad fit here and we run the same system as Dallas. That team was great with Jason Kidd and jason terry. Rondo is nothing like those two players offensively.

    Great deal for Dallas. They improve.

    This will go down as a bad move for Dallas. They don't have any size in their frontcourt after Dirk/Chandler.

    What's their playoff rotation going to be?

    Rondo / Harris
    Ellis / ?
    Parsons / Jefferson?
    Dirk / Villanueva?
    Chandler / ???

    That starting 5 doesn't even scare me THAT much.

    I think Ellis and Dirk will get tired of Rondo getting ISO plays, have him driving the lane and kicking out for a tough shot with 1-2 seconds on the shot clock left.

    Monta Ellis isn't really like either of those players either, though.
    Carlisle's a pretty smart offensive coach. I imagine he will find a way to fit him in.

    So this Brendan Wright guy, who is soooo good... is now going to be replaced by a guy whose last blockout came when he was wearing a suit last year with golden state? okay...

    Not sure I like the trade for either team, honestly... and, as a fan of neither team, I LOVE when that is the case. For Dallas, I don't think the fit is going to work as well as most are predicting, they've lost some key depth, & their backcourt is microscopic. And, no Mags, the corpse of Jermaine O'Neal is NOT going to fix their depth issue. For the Celtics, that's a pretty piss-poor "rebuilding" OR "re-tooling" package, any way you stack it.

    Yeah, and it bit the Warriors in the ass. They couldn't contain the Clippers up front.

    I agree for the most part but I think the Celtics actually are doing it right. Wright and Crowder are two hustle guys that can be had for cheap and they have a plethora of picks right now along with players primed to move.

    Tyson Chandler is a better basketball player than Andrew Bogut.
