Rondo for Dirk?

Report: Celtics and Mavericks have talked trade for Rajon Rondo
Brett Pollakoff Jun 29, 2013, 3:30 PM EDT

A report surfaced on Saturday that the Celtics and Mavericks had engaged in trade talks for the one remaining All-Star asset in Boston, Rajon Rondo.

It didn’t come from one of the usual suspects in terms of reporters we’re used to seeing break this kind of news, but a report from DallasBasketball.com is always credible.

It caused some of the more familiar names to weigh in on a possible Rondo-to-Dallas deal, and for a variety of reasons, it doesn’t appear likely to happen — at least not in these very early stages of free agency.

The problem for now is that the Mavericks are going to be at the front of the line, along with the Houston Rockets, in trying to recruit Dwight Howard to leave Los Angeles and sign a max contract to play in Dallas next season. The Celtics’ asking price for Rondo remains high, and in this current round of talks, Boston wants the Mavericks to take on some bad contracts to help the rebuilding process if they’re going to part ways with their highly-coveted, elite point guard.

These two issues likely mean a deal isn’t on the horizon anytime soon where Rondo and the Mavericks are concerned.

From Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports:

Mavs would love having Rajon Rondo to chase Dwight Howard, but Boston needs Dallas to take multiple contracts off its books, sources say.

As Dallasbasketball.com says, Celts/Mavs talked some Rondo. Celtics like Larkin, but how do Mavs take contracts and keep space for Howard?

Exactly — they can’t.

And from Marc Stein of ESPN.com:

Mavs undeniably fans of Rondo, as @fishsports reported, but “trade talks” to this point have gone nowhere because Celts want only one Mav

Mavs: We’re interested in Rondo. Celts: We want Dirk. So: More teams gotta jump in or Boston gotta budge for meaningful talks to take place

You never say never, but it’s tough to see Dallas ever parting ways with Nowitzki given all he’s meant to the franchise, and the close relationship he has with Mark Cuban.

If you’re wondering what a rebuilding Celtics team would want with a high-priced, 14-year veteran, keep in mind that Nowitzki’s contract expires after next season, which would clear $22.7 million in cap space for the Celtics to play with in 2014-15.

Dallas isn’t going to do anything in free agency until the pitch has been made to Howard, and they have an idea of where they stand. Once Dwight decides on his future, then the Mavericks can begin to shape theirs, at which time they may re-explore their options where Rondo is concerned.

cuban still wants to build the team around dirk.. the way the spurs still build the team around duncan.. there's no way cuban would trade dirk for a point guard which is more of a facilitator and an above average offensive player..
