Yeah, I think a Rondo for Williams trade would be at the top of Danny's list.
The only problem is that it wouldn't coincide with a Howard signing, because NJ would only trade Williams once Howard is traded to a team like the Lakers, so they know that there is no chance he will even hit free agency.
But yeah, if Howard is traded to a team that will resign him, I think Danny will go hard after Williams, and he would have a great chance, since I don't think any team will offer more than Rondo without Williams agreeing to not opt out...which I don't believe Danny would require.
You think Ainge would trade Rondo for a half-season rental of Williams?
If D-Will wouldn't resign with the Nets sans Howard, I can't see any feasible reason he'd resign in Boston with a 35-year-old Pierce and slim pickings from a diluted free agent class.
Not worth it.
