Trade Idea: Rondo+Green to Dallas Mavericks

[chambers]

Saw this posted on RealGM. I personally would rather pay Rondo $18 million a year over Parsons at his new contract, but it was an interesting idea I hadn't seen before and want to garner peoples thoughts. I'm of the opinion it would almost be better value to let Rondo simply walk and get a pick or two back from a sign and trade with his new team. Depends what you think Parsons is worth. Celtics do this assuming we can't orchestrate any way to get a top 20 player here and thus Rondo has told them he's leaving.

Celtics send:
Rondo
Jeff Green

Mavericks send:
Chandler Parsons
Ricky Leto
2015 first round pick (lottery protected)

Dallas gets a killer point guard and also get a Parsons replacement on similar numbers for half the price in Green.
Downside is Rondo is expiring, and Green has player option, but they get bird rights for Rondo.
Their starting 5 is now:
Rondo
Ellis
Green
Dirk
Chandler.

Again I think I'd actually lean towards letting Rondo walk for a few picks instead of using all that cap room on Parsons.
 Would anyone else here want Parsons new contract? Can't say he's that much better than Jeff Green is he?

I personally think Jeff and Parsons are a wash, though I am sure you could argue more for Parsons. Jeff SHOULD have a better season this year and thats when we should trade him, if we do, high not low.

As far as Ricky Ledo is concerned, I thought he was good at Hendricken with Baron. But he literally went to 4-5 schools in as many years. I have heard rumors about his character but that is completely speculation and not first hand. But based on his play....I don't think Id give Phil Pressey for him
