There is no way Detriot is giving up Drummond

I'm not even positive if I would do the trade and I came up with it. Funny thing is about this trade, it's the all too common celtics debate now. Just how valuable IS Rondo? As you can see some people think I'm overvaluing him while some think I'm undervaluing him. I guess it all depends on your opinion of Rondo and said prospects.

I just don't really see the incentive for Detroit. I mean unless they just want to get into the playoffs otherwise they might as well be patient unless they are getting an absolute no brainer deal (which I don't think this is). This move wouldn't put them in title contention (or even really get them close) so there's no real need to make a move unless for some reason they are unhappy with him or if he was getting all demarcus cousins on them

That's a fair point. I think the reason Detroit would do it is to move two guys who show that scary "potential" word for a sure thing all star. Maybe Drummond becomes the next Dwight Howard or maybe this is a flash in the pan. Maybe they turn into great players or maybe they don't but it is a risk either way.
