I think out of all the rumored Rondo trade offers (Kings, Knicks, Rockets) that the Sacramento one could've been the most valuable one.
The Kings have young players, future draft picks and expiring contracts they could've offered the Celts.
I guess what killed the deal was Rondo being unwilling to sign an extension with Sacramento and the Kings not being willing to deal McLemore.
But what if the Celts didn't ask for any picks and offered Kelly Olynyk to sweeten the pie?
And what if Sacramento thought Rondo might change his mind about signing an extension after playing there with Cousins?
Wonder if this could've been worked out
Celts get:
Rudy Gay
Ben McLemore
Aaron Gray
Isiah Thomas
Derrick Williams
Kings get:
Rajon Rondo
Jeff Green
Kelly Olynyk
Sacarmento would've gotten a decent package highlighted by a year and half rental in Rondo which could've driven interest in the team and maybe they could've gotten him to stay.
Celts would've gotten more cap space, expiring contracts and a couple young talented players in McLemore and Williams.
Just wondering what could've been.
