Not exact matches
After a hectic month that saw Rajon
Rondo and Jeff Green
traded out of town, all that was left were young players and future draft picks on a team that was more than 10 games under.500.
After seeing a number of major
trades earlier in the season (including Rajon
Rondo to Dallas, Jeff Green to Memphis and Timofey Mozgov to Cleveland) it was somewhat shocking to see this flurry of activity.
It's also noteworthy to point out that this move wasn't exactly unexpected, since prior to the season
Rondo was listed as a -175 favorite to be
traded.
Rajon
Rondo is on the
trading block, you say?
What is clear is that the
Rondo rumors will continue until the
trade deadline passes or a
trade is made.
It's interesting to note that following the
trade of
Rondo, Dirk Nowitzki, who took a huge hometown discount to re-sign with the Mavericks this past off - season, is now the lowest paid starter on the Mavericks.
Houston has an $ 8.4 million
trade exception from the Jeremy Lin
trade that it can use to acquire a player who will then be included in a
Rondo deal, according to Berger.
So after 13 months, we
traded it in for a Kia
Rondo, much much better.
