Rondo to the Mavericks is Happening!

According to multiple reports including Marc Stein and Adrian Wojanrowski, the Mavericks and Celtics have agreed on a trade that will send four-time all-star Rajon Rondo to Dallas.
The Mavs will receive Rondo and rookie forward Dwight Powell in exchange for Brandan Wright, Jae Crowder, Jameer Nelson, a 2015 first round pick and a future second round pick.
Rondo who will fill the Mavs most glaring need for starting  point guard is averaging 8.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and a league leading 10.8 assists. He will be an upgrade definitively on the perimeter, a major weakness for Dallas so far.
According to Wojanrowski, Rondo has made clear that he would be inclined to sign an extension with the Mavs in the summer when he becomes a free agent.
Now with Wright gone the Mavs will most surely need to find another big man behind Tyson Chandler, with Greg Smith being the only backup center currently on the roster.
Whatever the case the Mavs current starting five of Rondo, Ellis, Parsons, Dirk and Chandler should the give the Mavs a better chance to compete in a Western Conference that is as tough as ever.
