Dude i would have given them a 2nd round pick to take Rondo's sorry butt just to get him off the team. Addition by subtraction but you are telling me we gained 2 2nd round picks, Cash, Lou Will, and no extended contract next year. This almost feels like Christmas to me right now good lord i hated Rondo as a Hawk.

Schlenk is very transparent with players. He told Gallinari what he could expect coming off the bench behind Collins. I am sure he let Lou know what his role would be on the 2nd unit as well. Its a win/win for both.

Lou has always been a fan favorite. Most old fans wish the Hawks would have kept Lou to see him get those 6th man of the year awards with the Hawks.

Translation: Lou asked for a buyout and the Hawks quickly declined.

Smart on Schlenk's part if its true. The Hawks can't go with a non vet backup point guard. Not for a playoff push. Two 2nds and Lou still seems to good to be true :D

Okay, real grades time:

Atlanta: A+
LAC: B

Atlanta got better this season, multiple 2nds, and a better cap structure next season. Should perhaps be an A++.
LAc overpaid. But they also got the change they needed. They needed this both for off court chemistry and for playmaking, and having Rondo signed next season is a plus assuming Ballmer will just write an even bigger check. I couldn't even make this a B-, because it actually works so well for LAC, despite being a talent downgrade and paying to do so.

Win win trade, except it was Win win win, with Atlanta taking 2 of the w's.

I like it for both as well. I think Rondo plays better for the Clippers being surrounded by their alphas. I can see Lou going out in style with the Hawks. The picks do lean this to the Hawks.

Or maybe it's something Lou does, consider retirement when traded :) . Remember this from 2017:

Great point. Unless they poorly managed their money, none of these multi millionaires has to work anymore.

I know Lou has been awful, but I'd have just sitting him as a better move than giving up assets to swap him from Rondo. Lou is just as likely, if not more, to have a few good playoff games and he's not a team cancer.
