This is not a repeat from EVERY SINGLE YEAR OF RONDO'S CAREER. 

Just once I want to hear a GM say, "I don't care if it's the right deal, he's not going anywhere.  I will make a bad decision on purpose because I just can't stomach making that face unhappy."

of the few chips we have i'm most inclined to part with rondo. (obligatory statement: the kid)
trading KG and pierce would throw us into a rebuild of unknown length.
trading bass, green, lee for smith or other would decimate the teams depth.
trading rondo would hurt but he could bring back a piece or pieces who can help us win this year and build for the future.
now for the shocker:
I'd rather trade rondo for a combo like dragic and gortat then for a howard.

Dragic is rondo lite, a capable ball handler, distributor, an active defender and, by the numbers, a more productive scorer then rondo. he is 26, and could improve (he has never played with talent like KG and pierce.)
Gortat gives the c's the big man they need, a good rebounder, passer and active defender.
adding these two for rondo and maybe melo would give us a rotation of
dragic, terry
lee, terry
pierce, green
bass, green
KG, gortat
with sully coming back next year to take the starting 4 spot from el basso

trading rondo for the self possessed knucklehead howard only fills one need and doesn't set us up for the future, (howard is in it for howard and will go where howard can get the most press for howard)

PHX seems ideally suited to make this trade because they are stuck in awful and need to be more awful to get a high pick.
rondo's out so he won't help this year but could help land j smith over the summer. next year they go forward with that combo.

Just really hard to imagine any GM really 'making Danny's day' with an offer for Rondo, when he hasn't even really started rehabbing his injury yet.

Always amusing to see how fans sit around waiting to hear such rumors, then rip on the providers for their credibility.

Kind of like the mother-in-law in Bachelor Party who can't stop pulling on the hotdog.

If it is a good deal why not. And don't act like a good deal can't be done. The Warriors traded for an injured Bogut last year for Monta Ellis or whenever that was. But deals can get done.

Ehh I think we could get Gortat from them without having to give up Rondo. I would want superstar if we are getting rid of rondo bass and Melo

Boston seems to have a lot of leaks though..

I wonder if this was leaked out to get teams to make offers.

Sounds like Ainge wants a shot at this thing this year and I wonder if moving Rondo for fair value this year might be something he considers more then ever.

This is a win now deal that probably doesn't provide enough to win now.  Future is better with Rondo IMO.

Of course they are willing to trade him for the right deal.  If Brousard needs sources to tell him this, then he needs to get a new job.

In canvassing the league. I just don't see a fit. It would have to be an obvious lotto team and most of them have PGs. Don't see Orlando giving us what we want and Sacramento can't deal.

I don't think Eric Gordon really works from NO.

Maybe Utah could give us a nice package if Favors was in it.

Id actually be happy with a Memphis trade.

Rondo, Lee, Bass
 
for
 Randolph, Conley and Lamb.

Win now with Randolph, Conley is solid and young, Lamb is    young asset.

I assume Memphis screams yes because it's Rondo and he's cheap for a while.

Conley
Bradley/Lamb/Terry
Pierce/Green/Terrence
Zeebo/Wilcox/green
KG/Collins

Brutal team to face in 7 game series

Nah. He's got one of the best jobs around, and he isn't going anywhere.

I don't think Memphis does Davis for Bass and a first, but I like the idea of getting something for Rondo now.  I really can't see him being the same when he comes back, and I think even healthy Rondo (at least the local TV version) caused more problems than people realized with his shooting.  I think Dragic/Bradley/Pierce/Garnett/Gortat with our bench can beat anyone except the Heat in the East

Not a chance for no other reason then the Grizzlies aren't taking on added salary.  No need to discuss merits of the players traded.

Whenever you hear a rumor that says "____ willing to trade so-and-so for the right offer" it's just that team putting the word out.  It doesn't mean anybody is making any decent offers for a mercurial pg with significant flaws and a torn ACL whose team has played better without him this season (just saying that's the outsider view).

Actually..funny that you mention this....
Someone on ESPN - I want to say Ryan Russillo (who had Flip Saunders on yesterday) suggested to trade Rondo for DeMarcus Cousins and Evans. His suggestions was to start the Sac/SEA franchise with a Marquee player like Rondo to make a splash - instead of DMC and a bunch of mediocre players.

Did anyone else see this?????
