[Woj] Lou for Rondo

Raises clippers ceiling for roughly same floor as Lou. Bit surprised they was the team sending incentive.

Man, this is a really weird pick for the Clippers. You're losing two picks and Lou Williams so that you can pay Rondo to maybe show up in the playoffs? I know they aren't trading him to show up in the regular season, but from the (albeit) little I've seen of the Hawks this year, Rondo has been BAD bad.

Really one-sided victory for the Hawks in my opinion. Really like that fit for them.

I don't see Rondo works with Kawhi and George.

LeBron and AD respected and treated Rondo as an equal and welcomed his experience and leadership onto the team.

I like this for both. Everyone knows what playoff Rondo can do. And that's all that really matters for the Clips.

Value wise, worst trade of the deadline (for the Clippers)

Hawks dump a '21-22 salary so I like it for them.

LAC gets a guy who if he turns it on like he usually does in the playoffs, fills kind of a roster hole. And for next year he's an expiring salary to match with in trades which helps a capped out team (whose owner doesn't care about luxury tax).

I liked the Rondo/LouWill swap, but I didn't see it involving only two teams, and I didn't see LAC adding anything.

Nice job by Atlanta for a guy they didn't want around any more.

With Lou and Snell coming off the books this makes keeping Collins much easier.

Also moves the Clippers to 3.4 under the hard cap, which opens up for basically the whole BAE to be used or two vet buy outs if I'm not mistaken...

No, Rondo has unlikely incentives that count towards the hard cap.

we hope so. GM said Dunn should be ready to go towards the 'end of March' - we're here.

Good deal for both sides. They'd smartly had interest, but I called this on the 1st.

Who won?
