    That would put us in cap hell for years to come. I don't think Nash is worth that.

    We only give up our capspace in that one. Probably the only way to get Rondo without giving up Nic.

    Maybe throw in Nolan and Elliot to BOS.

    Rondo is not going anywhere. Management has already said that the rumors aren't true. Boston will not trade their best young prospect. Doesn't make sense for them.

    Why do any teams trade their young talent? It does happen, you know. Jason Kidd has been traded at least three times in his career and he is a future HOFer.

    Well because rumor has it management laughed at the idea of Rondo being on the block.

    What else are they going to say? They need to keep his value up as high as possible

    Okay let me go on record and say that if there was a chance to get rondo without trading Batum, I'm down for it. Just like I'm down for trading for Nash without using Batum. Is that fair?

    We can't trade our pick this year because we traded Charlotte our pick last year and next year for Wallace. I hope to God it was protected next year

    I didn't realize that; doesn't it count that we got a first round pick from somebody else that we used last year? Anyway I guess it would have to be future picks.

    We did not trade our pick to CHA. We traded NO's pick from 2011. We did trade our 2013 pick to CHA however.

    I would trade Batum for Rondo. No doubt.
