Now that it is done, I want to ask what people really were expecting in return for Rondo?

I don't like the trade because of what we got in return but after some thinking and looking around, we probably were not going to do much better. I heard on WEEI yesterday that LAL offered Jordan hill and a 1st for Rondo and maybe Green. Not sure if true or if it would work but I like that better.

Please add what you honestly thing we could have gotten in return below assuming the trade is still JUST Rondo and Powell.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

I expected about what Boston got for him, which is why I've been pushing to move him for years.  The league knows he just isn't a build around type player.  He is a great complimentary piece, but you don't start with him.  Once PP and KG were traded, Rondo should have been the first one out the door.
