    Ah I love this time of year. Millions of trade rumors that in the end really mean nothign but are fun none the less.

    The Sacramento Kings offered Isaiah Thomas, Ben McLemore and two draft picks for Rajon Rondo, according to Yahoo! Sports

    The Sacramento Kings offered the Boston Celtics a package of Isaiah Thomas, Ben McLemore and draft picks for Rajon Rondo, according to a source.

    The deal did not go through due to Rondo's lack of interest in signing a long-term contract with the Kings.

    The Celtics reportedly want multiple first round picks in a deal for Rondo.

    Smart guy, especially with the Kings giving up picks.

    Because it works on the trade machine. What I'd like to see are the trades that BGD doesn't post here. Those must be wonderful.

    I thought BGD was banned from using the trade machine.

    SPD?!

    You can't ban him, you can only hope to contain him.

    That would have actually been a pretty interesting trade for Boston. Thomas and McLemore.

    I think Boston would have jumped on that as quick as possible. Rondo is great but they are rebuilding and if they can get a great offer for him it would be crazy for them not to take it. It sounds like they would have taken it but Rondo had no interest in playing in sactown long term so that killed Sacromentos interest.

    That didn't stop them from trading for Webber back in in the day.

    How long is Rondo locked up for? Two or three more years?

    ah, with it expiring next year I don't think i'd give up all Sactown wanted to give up without having Rondo wanting to stay long term.

    Giving up Rondo for two undersized SGs, and Thomas is a free agent after this season? Well, "interesting" is a rather vague adjective, I guess.

    What's nuts about Webber's career to me is that he never played more than 76 games in a season.

    His Sacto years he played: 42 (strike season, but still missed games), 75, 70, 54, 67, 23, 46 (traded during season).

    I'm not sure what this means, but his missing games cost the Kings wins during the regular season. He was brittle.

    I don't think 6'5" is undersized anymore. Especially with his hops.

    Thomas is a legit scorer and very efficient.

    20.1 PPG
    57 ts%
    37 3pt%
    21 PER

    He's what Barea was for the Mavs, only better.
