With all of the talk on here about the issues the Jazz have and the possibility that Rondo is on the market, here's a three-team deal that I feel could address all of these issues:
https://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=888zdx5
Jazz acquire: Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Jimmer Fredette
Celtics acquire: Al Jefferson, Devin Harris
Kings acquire: CJ Miles
The Jazz will gain leadership, a pure / 3-pt shooter & good defender in Ray Allen, a great dribbler, distributor, and defender in Rajon Rondo, and another pure / 3-pt shooter and local hero in Jimmer Fredette. And the CJ Miles experiment could please end.
Big Al is having a great year and the Celtics loved him enough to draft him and did not want to part with him in the KG deal a few years back. They also get a point guard who still has wheels and might work better in a non-pick & roll offense. They're big on their young guy Avery Bradley so they'd be willing to part with Rondo.
Jimmer's not a good fit in Sac Town, but they could trade him now for a still-young yet talented wing who's got experience.
This would also allow our young bigs to develop by getting serious minutes and would allow Hayward, Millsap, Kanter, Favors, and other important young pieces to stay in town.
