The Boston Celtics have officially traded the least remaining piece of their 2008 NBA championship- Rajon Rondo.
The Celtics traded Rajon Rondo and Dwight Powell to Dallas for Brandan Wright, Jae Crowder, Jameer Nelson, a 1st-round draft pick in 2015, and a 2nd-round draft pick in 2016. The Mavericks will also have to pay for the rest of Rondo's contract with the Celtics, all $12.9 million of it.
Although Rondo loves the Celtics, he has made it known that he would like to test the trading market at the end of the 2014-2015 season. While former Celtics player and current President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge really loves Rondo, he had to get something for Rondo while he could.
I have really enjoyed watching Rondo play over the years. We have watched him turn from a prospect, to an NBA champion, and an all star. Rondo is a tremendous player and deserves to be on a team that is in contention to win another title this year like the Mavericks.
Some people seem to be really upset over the trading of Rondo, but I agree that it what was best for him as a player.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm a little upset about them trading Rondo, but it seems like he should of been traded along time ago. He's had to many negative things happen in the past years. It's time for a new setting.
ReplyDeleteI was upset went Rondo left but it starts a new era for the Celtics, which is a good thing because now they can only get better but first they're going to have to be bad for a little while. Also I like the Rondo went to Dallas because i'd like to see Dallas win another championship. #dirk
