welp that's that.  No trade.  Cue the months of speculation about draft-day Rondo deals.

  Seeing as you'll do most of the speculating, consider yourself cued.

I speculate that Rondo won't be traded on draft day unless the Celtics get back a superstar or a package that includes a 2014 top-eight pick, an unprotected future first with lottery potential, and a young player with All-Star potential who is good enough that some fans of the opposing team say they wouldn't trade him straight up for Rondo.

Good luck. I'd be very pleased with 2/3 of those assets.

I'm predicting Ainge will hold out for 3/3 (which is what I would do).

Give me a hypothetical. Do you mean, say, 2011 Paul George, the Toronto pick Houston got for Harden and the 2018 pick we got from BKN?

Then RR will either re-sign with us or we'll be forced to let him walk for nothing. That's an incredibly unrealistic deal.

Celtics set the price tag for ROndo as two unprotected 1sts.  They couldn't trade Rondo to a team like the Lakers right now, because it would only improve their pick. 

I guess there's some truth that a draft-day trade would make a lot more sense.  I'm just assuming we're keeping ROndo long-term, though.  At least through next season when he inevitably flees Boston for the Knicks.

Knicks are becoming Cleveland-esque - no major players go there in 2015 unless there's a shake up in management. I'd even put it at 50/50 Melo resigns there this summer.

Rondo to the Knicks? Ha!!! I guess the NY media is more influential than I thought. You really think Rondo desires to play with Carmelo as the alpha dog and under Dolan as manager?

Chandler Parsons, a top-eight pick in 2014, and a future completely unprotected pick.

Jared Sullinger, the Celtics 2014 pick, and the 2018 Nets pick.

The rights to Nikola Mirotic and the Bulls' 2015 and 2017 picks without protection.

My guess is that Ainge is perfectly okay with the idea of Rondo re-signing with Boston.

The knicks can sell themselves as haivng the biggest of all markets. They have the city that never sleeps. And the best they could do in the summer of Lebron was overpay Amare Stoudemire.

And now they are botching the Carmelo era.

It's amazing how bad they are run ever since trading away Patrick Ewing.
