If we could have pulled off the Love trade idea without giving too much away I would have been okay with that. I don't think Love is that much of a difference maker since he couldn't even get his team into the playoffs, but would definitely have made us better and closer to contending. That being said, if you are him you are pushing to go and join Lebron in Cleveland. It's time to realize that we need to officially blow it up and hope some of these picks and assets can turn into our next cornerstone. It's time to get something for Rondo.
Indiana sends : Hibbert and Donald Sloan plus a first rounder
Boston sends : Rondo and Bass
Indiana does this because they clearly are questioning Hibbert's ability to produce when it matters. They gain an elite PG that allows them to compete immediately. Especially since Miami is no longer the team to beat. Bass gives them a solid veteran type player who can play some Center, knock down open shots, and rebound. This would instantly put them in the front of the pack.
Boston does this because they can turn the reigns over to the younger bunch and not give up their youth. They add a defensive center which we need badly and allow Sullinger and Olynyk to not have to share PT with Bass. Sloan is a very good young PG and with Smart they can man the position as they grow. We also add yet another pick that can be used or traded away in another deal.
One way or another Rondo isn't likely to re-up and it would be smart to get what we can before he bolts for nothing.
