Stauskas and filler (Ellington and Terry) and a 1st after this Ainge conversation with Rondo:
Ainge: "Look Rajon, we struck out on Love. We're gonna get the crap beat out of us by a bunch of teams this year. How about you try a year out in Cali and see if you like it...if you don't....you're a FA next year and you do like it here...."
Now we are taking a chance that Rondo may like it there or be wooed somewhere else OR, we could end up with Stauskas and a pick from Kings and our own higher first this year (because Rondo is on "vacation" in Cali) and Rondo back next year.
It's kinda like letting that chick go out and explore....and maybe she finds something better OR maybe she realizes that you are who she wants to be with.
Big gamble by Ainge, but also by Kings if Rondo doesn't give them a guarantee before the trade, which he technically can't..., but that's why they are getting him so cheep.
Also, it doesn't have to be the trade I proposed, but any trade with any team where Rondo doesn't give them a guarantee, so we would get lesser value, but maybe get Rondo back next year.
Anybody do this on either side?
