The Dallas Mavericks conducted exit interviews on Wednesday and while many players said they chalked up the Rajon Rondo trade to a gamble that just didn’t work, their actions spoke louder.
According to multiple sources, Rondo did not receive a playoff share as the Mavericks divided up $208,940, their portion as a team that competed in the first round, but did not advance.
Rondo left the team after Game 2, ostensibly with a back injury. He did not stay around to support his teammates.
We’re not talking about a big chunk of money, by NBA standards.
