ESPN: Celtics and Mavs discussing Rondo trade

[kozlodoev]

well looks like i'm not watching any games till Nelson is gone.

What is the pervasive problem with Nelson?  Did I miss something?  Domestic abuse?  Badmouthing?  Showboating?

I think he is a decent player and will have some retrade value.

I am still disappointed in the deal but I am wondering what I may be missing regarding Nelson.

Nelson thinks he's better than he is. He's also regressed dramatically since his ORL times.

2015 draft picks:

Boston #1 (top 5)
Clips #1
Dallas #1
#31 from Philly (close to guaranteed #31)
Boston's #2 (32 - 35)
As of now, we'd also get Wizards' 2nd rounder (protected for Wiz to #49)

  I think I want to punch Ainge in his face right now.

Is that all, lol?  This is Chris Wallace-level ineptitude that we're witnessing, here.  It's like that scene in Behind Enemy Lines, when the Marine punches the map on the carrier after it was reported that Burnett had been killed after his team had been told to stand down, in favor of the french squad, "They killed him!  They killed him and we did nothing.  We did nothing..."

Our roster is bloated with medicore players, everything up there aside from the Cs pick has very little value to us unless we start stashing Euros.

Laughing and crying at the same time. This isn't quite on the level of the Pierce/KG trade for me, but this sucks.

Finally....this is Stevens team not Rondo's...the Celtics made a good haul and got the equivalent of Rondo back in Nelson...

yeah and he wasn't that good there either.

I would trade Brad Stevens for Rondo. Players make coaches -- the team isn't going to get better now that we've reduced the talent level.

Good grief... You're delusional if you truly believe that.

Wasn't suggestng it's great news -- just interesting that we currently have 6 picks in the upcoming draft.

It's marcus smarts team now. Green will be traded too I'm sure.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Brandan Wright, Jameer Nelson, Jae Crowder, future first and a 2nd rounder.

This is seriously not happening right? Unbelievable.

That's all we get for Rondo, Branda Wrignht...?

he is a backup
i'd put him below turner and smart from the games i've seen this year
everyone does remember bradley made him cry when he was trying to bring the ball up the court right?
