We have to work with teams that want to improve their roster and contend.
Boston could be a candidate if they strike out in free agency. They need a defender and rebounder inside (Lopez).
Miami could be a decent trade partner. Lopez or Rondo or both for Bosh and a pick. We can take Winslow if they've given up on him.
Orlando could possibly work. Rondo for Hezonja (if they've given up on him? And either Watson or Augustin. They obviously want to give Payton more opportunities to succeed. He's the same type of player as Rondo and could learn a lot from him.
Philadelphia could move Fultz to fulltime SG with McConnell and Rondo playing PG. McConnell could also learn quite a bit from Rondo. Or they could use Lopez as a 3rd or 4th big. We could take Anderson or Luwawu plus a pick.
Washington needs more cap space to re-sign Porter. Rondo for a pick and Mahinmi, Gortat, Morris or Smith. Then they cut Rondo for the savings.
Dallas needs cap space if they want to re-sign Noel and Farrell. Rondo for a pick and Harris and Barea.
Denver has talent all over the roster but needs an upgrade at PG. Rondo for Mudiay and either Nelson or Miller. They cut Rondo and go after a free agent.
LAC have 4 key players going into free agency. If they want to move Jordan and get extra money for those guys then we can offer Rondo and Lopez for Jordan, Wes Johnson and a pick.
LAL want to be big players in free agency next year but Dang is locked up for $18M/yr for three more seasons. Rondo for Deng and a pick.
Memphis could look to add a G in free agency. Rondo for Daniels, Ennis one of the young guys could clear enough space.
OKC needs shooters. Rondo for Oladipo clears space for that after cutting Rondo. (But Oladipo is trash and has 4 years left so I don't like this.)
Phoenix was looking to add a star. Rondo for Dudley, Bender and a pick should open up space for a top free agent like Griffin.
Portland. We could do a huge deal with them. They could use Rondo and Lopez. When Rondo expires they would have enough to re-sign Nurkic. Connaughton and w of their bigs (Leonard, Ezeli, Davis) and one of their wings (Aminu, Harkless, Evans, Crabbe). Clears up playing time for Zach Collins too.
The Jazz don't have a decent backup PG. Rondo for Diaw and Exum. They could keep or cut Rondo.
