If Rajon Rondo was 22 years old, healthy, coming off a season in which he averaged 18 and 8, and under contract for 4 more years for $12 million or less, he would have fetched more. Sorry to burst your bubble.

You have the Noel part wrong.

Jru netted Nerlens Noel, Dario Saric and a future 1st.

Hilarious, right?  I brought this up a couple weeks ago and had to laugh at the reaction... "NO WAY WOULD I TRADE RONDO FOR NERLENS NOEL!!"

At least in retrospect few people like that New Orleans trade. This trade looks awful now but maybe it will look good in the future.  :)

Exactly. They aren't comparable. And at the moment everyone knew that was a bad trade by NO. That trade was the equivalent (in terms of lopsidedness) to the haul from The Nets for PP/KG.

I get that Rondo's value is depressed considering he's a 3/4th-year rental. But let's not act like this wasn't a bad trade. Remember the Kings offer in the offseason?

Danny accepted. Rondo wouldn't re-sign. That's Danny's fault?
