Doc says no talk of Rondo deal

[blink]

so now there is this:

http://espn.go.com/boston/nba/story/_/id/7634903/doc-rivers-confident-rajon-rondo-remain-boston-celtics

Maybe the media went too far out on a limb without any real sources for this stuff.  Or it could be spin from the C's.  I would hope we could believe Doc.

You expect a head coach to come out and say "Yeah, we're shopping our best player!"?

[blink]

Of course not.  But it is completely possible that the media has blown the whole thing out of control.  Or do you have some inside celtic's info to share with all of us?  If so, please do.

Thanks for post.

Very confusing times, for sure.

I don't expect that but the guy said almost 100% sure that RR will be here when the season ends. He wouldn't even add that if he was lying... I mean, that's adding extra for NO REASON, the stuff he said before that would have sufficed!

[GreenFaith1819]

So my next question is who could be the vet(s) that Rajon is coming into conflict with?

And why would they come into conflict with him? And is there anything that Rondo can do better to be a better teammate?

I just spent the morning throwing Rajon under the bus, and now this article comes out.

This kind of stuff just didn't seem that prevalent during the "Ubuntu" years....unfortunately, I think a little bit of "Ubuntu" left with TA...then a HUUUGE chuck of it left with Perk...then another chunk left with Nate and Glen.

Ubuntu left with BBD? Who were you watching?

This is kind of what I was getting at.  It seemed like Doc went out of his way to say they weren't trading him.  If it was just spin, he didn't need to elaborate as much.  

My personal opinion is that Doc probably admires Rondo the player a lot, he just wants him to mature a bit more and to do more to reach his potential as a player and a leader.  Same things all of us want for Rajon.

Of course not.  But it is completely possible that the media has blown the whole thing out of control.  Or do you have some inside celtic's info to share with all of us?  If so, please do.

lol...Glen upset me at times, but when he was plugged in, he appeared to be a great teammate. He was a great defender for us, taking like 50 charges or something along those lines.

That's Ubuntu...taking one for the team.

Unfortunately, I think he unplugged himself with the contract talk. His play during the playoffs last season hurt the team, especially KG, too. Perhaps he was injured?

But I'll always have love for Glen. I hope he does well in ORL.

I believe Doc.

Broussard, Amico, Vecsey, hoopsworld, etc aren't what I consider reliable sources.

I'll believe the rumors when sources like Ford, Wojo and Spears start reporting them.

I do think we are shopping everyone else though.

[hpantazo]

lol! Lots of things left with BBD, but Ubuntu sure wasn't one of them!

Agree with this...the only rumors circling around right now are ones from the most unreliable sources out there.

Bingo. Plus, it helps his trade value more than Doc saying:

"My relationship with Rajon is really up and down. Our communication could be better. I do want him here, but he has to change. I can't say with 100 percent certainty he will be here with us when the season ends. But I'm tired of this stuff always leaking. It's not fair."

Well this is good news.  Doc and Danny are standing behind Rondo.  

The slander, gossip, and hearsay that passes for news these days is getting way out of control.

[SHAQATTACK]

Haa HAA HA ... sssssuuurre... If Danny had the green light on the other side ....he'd pull the trigger faster than Billy the Kid .  

Everybody loves Rondos skills , but they don't want the headaches that come with him.  

Of course they aren't going to come out and say they are shopping Rondo to the world...that lowers the value.

I still think , Danny is just waiting on the right deal and he is gone.  

Rondo needs to get his  "MIND RIGHT" on who is running the ship.
