So was Rondo, depending upon the player.

It really doesn’t matter who the better teammate is. Both acted badly.

Chris Paul is a great player and a future HOFer.

I doubt that he is as bad as some say.

The media is driving this false narrative about Rajon Rondo being the bad guy - even some posters HERE have did this, too - for various reasons.

This is their choice, their right.

Rajon Rondo will ALWAYS be a Celtic to ME. The things he did in Green...the memories...I cannot (and WILL not) simply wish them away since he's now wearing Lakers purple and gold.

At Rondo's Prime - it was heavily rumored that Danny would trade him for Chris Paul - straight up. This was even considering how at the time Chris Paul was viewed as a better shooter than Rondo.

Rondo was THAT GOOD. He still EVEN NOW flashes this talent. Ask Isaiah Thomas in the 2016-17 Playoffs versus CHI.

Rondo would've retired a Celtic - if Danny would've let him. Chris Paul? Well.......

All of the chatter about Boston's interest in Chris Paul is a moot point because the All-Star point guard will not sign a long-term contract extension with the Celtics, according to a person close to the situation.

There you are.

I hope that both Rajon AND CP3 can put this stuff behind them - and I also hope that LeBron James can choose his TEAM. The optics behind him pulling away CP3 did NOT look good - even if he meant nothing behind it.

I believe he did not.

In any event The Los Angeles Lakers have one of the last TRUE competitors left in the NBA. Rajon Rondo will lay it on the line for LA and make his teammates smarter and better.

What I don't get is all the love and forgiveness "from the NBA" for CP3. He always has been kind of dirty. Last year he wanted to go through the secret hallway to the Clippers locker room to fight. I don't think anything came of that. Just because he's a banana boat member and a Lebron buddy he gets away with everything.

I think it's because of his Players Association action. Not that I agree with it being an excuse, but heaps of players and media members seem to overlook him being a jerk because of that

Rondo:

“Everybody wants to believe Chris Paul is good guy... he’s a horrible teammate”

Ryan Hollins and Big Baby have agreed

One of the main reasons why Ray Allen pulled himself out of that organization. Didn't want to continue playing with Rondo.

I had avoided it, but finally decided to watch the clip.

Chris Paul looked like the worst offender with the fingers in Rondo’s eyes.  There’s no excuse for that coming from a vet and Player’s Association leader.  Ingram’s shove of Harden was unacceptable but at leasst he has the “excuse” of immaturity.  Not sure what Rondo did wrong.  His punches were provoked by Paul sticking his fingers in his eyes.

There you are.

Good find there, GreenFaith. I often think Danny's swap of Big Baby for Brandon Bass at the time was an effort to help lure Paul here -- considering the fact that CP3 and Bass are close friends. In addition, if we had landed David West (another one of Paul's ex-Hornets teammates) then CP3 surely would have given Boston some serious thought. Unfortunately, West never happened since KG was playing forward at the time. KG eventually ended up moving to the center spot during the midpoint of the season anyway, so here's a nice little historical revision...

C Garnett/Hollins
PF West/Bass
SF Pierce/Pietrus
SG Allen/Bradley
PG Paul/Dooling

Would have been a nice unit.

I don't understand why Chris Paul wouldn't have signed an extension in Boston, but was more than willing to do so on the Clippers.  It just never made any sense to me.
