The man leading the league with 10.6 assists per game will now join a prolific starting lineup that consists of Monta Ellis, Chandler Parsons, Dirk Nowtizki and Tyson Chandler. Dallas is currently 19-8, good for sixth in a tightly-packed Western Conference.
Rondo is having another consistent season, averaging 8.3 points, 10.2 assists and 7.5 rebounds per game for Boston, who are currently 9-14 on the year (9th in the East). He had been rumored to be on the trading block for about the last years, but no major discussion had taken place until recently. The Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Houston Rockets were all rumored to be trying to acquire the 28-year-old floor general, but Dallas appeared to have taken the lead over the past week.

The move is a gamble for Dallas, as Rondo has the option to leave for another team in free agent during the upcoming offseason. However, the thinking around the league is that the Mavs would not have pulled the trigger if they did not have reassurances that Rondo would resign with the team.
His first game as a Maverick will be on Saturday, Dec. 20, when Dallas hosts the defending champion San Antonio Spurs in a rematch of last years' Western Conference first round matchup.
During Rondo's tenure in Boston he averaged 11 points, 8.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game in a little over eight seasons with the Celtics.
Stay tuned for any additional updates.
