This summer.  Assuming he's not signing an extension with the Mavs, just bring him back as a free agent.  He can be an excellent change-of-pace backup for Marcus Smart.

I'm seriously interested to see how many fans actually want Boston to sign him as a free agent after spending some time away from him.  If Smart excels or the Mavs struggle to adapt to a Rondo-centric offense, It will be fascinating to see how fans here react if Rondo hits free agency.

Well I posted this before Rondo's first game in Dallas.  Looks like we already got a nice change-of-pace backup to Smart.  Anyone open to bringing back Rondo at this point?

Heh... I posted this thread the day of the Rondo trade.   I was so confident that Rondo was going to be a disaster in Dallas, that I automatically assumed he'd avoid signing an extension there and I figured we could sign him in the summer to be Smart's back-up. 

Now here we are a few months later and even the idea of Rondo as a back-up disgusts people.  Lol.   Fwiw, if we didn't already have Thomas, I'd be open to bringing Rondo back on a discount.  He's a quality PG in the right system.  If we make some big trade this summer involving a handful of players and find ourselves in need of a starting PG, I'd throw Rondo a nice 4 year 32 mil offer.  I don't think there's any way for him to fit in Brad's offense, though... so it's probably still a bad idea.
