Rajon Rondo traded to Dallas

Just a thought... should Dallas have added Parsons to the deal in exchange for Jeff Green? Green would give them enough offence but a little more defence, especially against Lebron if they were to come up against him in the Finals.

Would've liked Rondo to stay, but this was always the likely outcome once Smart was drafted. At least Rondo has been traded to a good team in Dallas.

AK-47 you are spot on about defence being where Rondo needs to make the biggest impact for the Mavs. It's going to be interesting, because whilst Rondo can be a lockdown defender, he also loses interest at times. If he can slow down the Wests litany of gun point guards, then that alone will help the Mavs out immensely.

Losing Brandan Wright will hurt the Mavs a bit, because he has been huge for them this season. He's the one piece of the trade I think I'll enjoy seeing in Boston, even though he still doesn't solve the gaping hole at centre.

I hope Boston doesn't go all-in on the tank now and trade Green as well, but I suspect that is next on Ainge's to-do list. Oh well, Karl Towns and Jahlil Okafor, here we come!

Can't wait to see how this pans out in Dallas. I don't think they've quite got enough to win the West, but they're certainly going to be a dangerous playoff opponent.

I’m glad you mentioned Rondo defensively Mick because I think that’s his most important asset that he brings to Dallas. They’ll score just fine even though Rondo shortens the court for them, but there is no way Nelson was going to be able to defend the likes of Curry, Westbrook, Parker, Lillard and Conley in a 7 game series. Rondo offers the Mavs a much more capable defender of the likes of the Wests best point guards.
Also really like that you mentioned the Mavs selling high on Wright. He’s been good but I can’t see him becoming anything more than a really handy back up. He’s peaked for sure.

MACDUB,

Great passer, solid defender, poor shooter, below average scorer. Yep, I agree with you!

Is it just me or is Rondo slightly overrated?

I believe he is.
