Rajon Rondo Rumors & News

About three years ago, Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Boston Celtics were seeking to retool on the fly (while adding future flexibility) and offered Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo to the Detroit Pistons for Richard Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, and Rodney Stuckey. At the time, our own Matt Watson called it a "lowball," and the comments of our readers basically agreed with the sentiment (seriously, the comments of that three year old thread are great, even if they're all "anonymous" after the migration to SBNation). Almost three years to the day, Boston is selling again. And once again, ...

Rajon Rondo is probably the most important and critical player for the Celtics going forward. So obviously the team is heavily invested in his continual improvement. As good as he is, there's still room for advancement and refining. He's as proud and stubborn as ever, but he's also very bright and he sees and hears all. Notebook: Danny Ainge expects to see an improved Rajon Rondo | Boston Herald"I think Rondo is a smart guy, and he got to see the strengths and weaknesses of our team and the players," said Ainge. "I think he actually started to see it even before he was out, but whe...

Miami point guard Shane Larkin could be a backup to Rajon Rondo.

Hey, Rondo was seen talking in front of cameras today. That's nice. Rajon Rondo talks Doc Rivers, Connect Four, algebra and more -Celtics blog - Boston Globe basketball news "I pretty much know what he's going to say. I've been playing for him for seven years, and we've pretty much always been on the same page, especially now," Rondo said from the Red Bull studios in Los Angeles. "Each year we're growing, we're communicating better, learning each other more and more each year." When asked if he was hard to coach, at least early in his career, Rondo said, "I still am. It's not that I...

Yesterday Bradford Doolittle posted 3 trade ideas on ESPN Insider. In related news, I have a blog and I like to take people's ideas and pick them apart. In truth, I always try to give credit to people who actually put names out there and thoughtful scenarios that might possibly make sense for both teams. That said, I'm not a fan of this one - in part because I am a fan of Rondo and not much of a fan of this draft.

I realize that this is not exactly hard hitting news, but it is the best I've got for you right now. I didn't know this was a show, so... I guess that's "news to me." Rondo's blazer trashed on Fashion Police - Boston Celtics Blog - ESPN Boston Rajon Rondo brought his infamous zebra-style blazer -- one he wore to the podium after a playoff game a couple seasons back -- to E!'s Fashion Police and the panel/audience voted to trash it (Rondo couldn't bring himself to throw it in the can and deferred instead to panelist Giuliana Rancic).

ESPN Insider Chad Ford came out with his second mock draft today and he has the Celtics slotted to pick Orangeman Michael Carter-Williams at #16. Here's Ford's take: Analysis: With Rajon Rondo's future up in the air, Carter-Williams could be a very good pick here. The Celtics already are accustomed to having a long, athletic point guard who can't shoot. His size would allow him to share the backcourt with Avery Bradley. Some scouts have Carter-Williams ranked as high as No. 5 on their boards, so landing him at No. 16 would be a steal. Ford's right. At #16, MCW would be a steal on p...

Let me start this post by (once again) declaring that I'm a huge, huge Rajon Rondo fan. I think the Celtics can (and ultimately probably will) build around his unique set of skills. With that disclaimer out of the way, allow me to diverge from my own beaten path and explore the option of trading Rajon. The general idea is this: Regardless of what Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett do, our best trading chip is Rajon Rondo. The Celtics have very little hope of re-building on the fly. Heading into the lottery (or worse, just barely making the playoffs as an 8 seed) is a good way to waste a...
