Dallas sent Brandan Wright, Jae Crowder, Jameer Nelson, two
draft picks and a trade exception to the Celtics in exchange for
Rondo and center Dwight Powell.
The 28-year-old Rondo had long been in trade rumors as Boston is
rebuilding and he was the sole remaining standout from the
team's recent success, where they won the title in 2008 and made
the finals in 2010.
Despite recent injuries that sidelined him for the majority of
the last two campaigns, Rondo appears to have returned to form
and is averaging 8.3 points and a league-leading 10.8 assists
this season.
His addition to the Mavericks will pair him with Dirk Nowitzki
and give Dallas (19-8) a potent starting lineup.
