Boston wins a game at home against a scrappy Orlando Magic team and immediately after, the Celtics have had talks with a few teams about sending Rajon Rondo to any number of teams, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein.
Celtics ARE talking to other teams — most notably Knicks and Kings — but sources say most serious Rondo talks to date are with Mavericks

ESPN sources say Celtics & Mavs in substantive discussions on deal that would send Rajon Rondo to Dallas for multiple picks/package of vets

Well that’s very interesting, but what is more interesting is what Marc Stein also wrote about on ESPN.com, a deal that potentially sends Rajon Rondo to the Mavericks.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Celtics and Mavericks have been discussing a swap that would furnish Boston with multiple draft picks — including at least one future first-rounder — as well as blossoming Mavericks center Brandan Wright and other players needed to make the salary-cap math work.
Sources say the Celtics also have been talking to teams such as the Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks about potential Rondo deals?, but that the most advanced discussions so far have been with Dallas.
That starting 5 of Rondo, Monta Ellis, Chandler Parsons, Dirk Nowitzki And Tyson Chandler, would be extremely scary.
