A couple of OKC/BOS Trades to get us our rim protector

I somehow knew I was coming into a thread that involves Rondo and Perkins

I was not disappointed

Did Denver lose the Carmelo Anthony trade?

I think both teams lost but then I do not like volume scorers.

However, I included him merely as salary filler. I don't really expect him to produce at all next season.

Trade 1: Boston sends Rajon Rondo and Kelly Olynyk to OKC for Steven Adams, Reggie Jackson, Kendrick Perkins, and a top 5 protected OKC first round draft pick in 2017.

Why Boston does it: In this trade they collect further assets for their rebuild. Adams will be their future rim protector. Jackson is an excellent offensive guard who would excel next to Smart, and they bring back a fan favorite (purely as salary filler). This depth chart looks pretty promising for the future:

We would not do this!  Anytime you give up the best player in the trade, you lose the trade.  That pick would be one of the last ones in the first round.

That's a very short-sighted view of trades, because you don't seem to differentiate between time periods. lol If Cleveland gives Minny Wiggins and Bennett and draft compensation and they live up to their potential, doesn't Minny win the trade overall even though they gave up the best player?

This sounds turrible.

I think that you lost me at the lack of Rondo for Westbrook deal.

This trade will not happen. I think Rondo will be staying. Hopefully Victor will sober up and play huge and we will not be talking about rim protection.

He'd probably play better if he was drunk.

Really, what has he shown thus far that merits discussion except for his ability to hold down a chair on the bench?

I really do not get how people think these busts are going to miraculously be productive in Boston once they get here.  A dud is a dud no matter what gun it is fired from.
