How about Rondo and Fav to OKC for Perk, Reggie Jackson, Mitch McGary, and Grant Jerrett (need him to make it work)?
This can be done after December 15th.
We would then either buy out Perk or simply waive him (I would prefer to find a taker for Bass and keep Perk.) and immediately cut Jerrett.
Thoughts?

what's the purpose of this trade? if you're trying to make the C's worse for the purposes of tanking I get it but I don't agree with that philosophy.
- Rondo and Fav are expiring deals so C's gain nothing in terms of cap room. Jackson is also a FA and will be looking for a large bump in pay like Rondo. He can't make as much as Rondo but he's not as good either.
- Talent-wise, C's are giving up the best player by far and no real starter-quality players are coming to the C's. Jackson is not a starting-caliber PG. He looks like potentially good 6th man.
- Jackson is not a good PG-->he hasn't shown he's capable of running a team offense for extended periods very well.
- Jackson is not a good shooter. same complaints people have with Rondo's shooting will be applied to Jackson.
- Perk is toast so no appreciable talent coming in the center position.
- Mcgarry hasn't shown he's more than a 12th man on a good team and that's still kind of iffy.
- Fav, for all his injuries, still showed more last year than Perk has in the past few.
- Pairing Jackson with Smart as a future backcourt will result in 2 guards that have shooting difficulties and neither has shown they're capable of running the offense well -- certainly not on Rondo's level.
- Dumping Rondo for Jackson will not draw FA's to Boston. No one is clamoring to play with Jackson.
