I think we should let Rondo get his dream of playing with Carmelo a chance.
I think that New York would really be interested in pleasing Carmelo, and I think they would do anything to get a chance at the playoffs, within the next few years.
If Rondo wants to leave we have to main goals:
1) clearing up cap-space for the future
2) do whatever we can to get a center, who we can build around
That is why I have come up with this idea:

My main concern in the deal is New York, would they do it?
It's just a funny idea, but it might workout pretty well for all 3 teams.
