There are several on Twitter, including ESPN and Woj, sort of.

Wow, I've been wanting this to happen for about 3-4 years and now that it has... I can't imagine a world where it's happened.

Brandon Wright, and a late first. A stopgat vet in Jameer Nelson. Based on Rondo being an expiring contract that is not a bad haul.

Wow.

Well, let the tank begin!


edit: feels like the Walker trade all over again, except we've been expecting this one for 5 years instead of never seeing it coming.

My favorite basketball player of all time. Damn it. What a **** deal. Rondo must have wanted too much money to re-sign. **** the Cavs for stealing Love from us. Wright, some late 1st, and we didn't even get rid of G-wall what the **** Ainge...

Brandon Wright? Nelson can be traded once again. He's an OK replacement at PG.

It actually makes us a little better right now. But, I don't see the end game with any of these guys.

Ugh. You win Cuban. You win. So pissed off (and the Mavs are my "second" team).

Is this a joke? Worst trade of Ainge's career, probably some major agent power-brokering behind the scenes. Need confirmation..

2nd round pick??? Would have been better if it's two first rounders.

Bottom line is that Rondo's injury and inability to step up when called upon to be the man lowered his value. Was a fascinating player to watch and pre-injury was so damn good.

Time to root for Dallas for the rest of the year.

I honestly can't believe this happened...This is a really...really bad trade.
