Well we've wondered how Rondo would feel or take it if traded, just curious turning the tables how would the team and Big Three take it? I'm curious what some of you think.

I think Ray and KG of all people would understand how this works, given that it'd be essentially how they came to Boston. 

Plus, I think all three of them would appreciate the defensive attention that Paul would command, opening up them to have easier opportunities this year.

Hard to say.  Probably mixed feelings, like a lot of Celtics fans.  Sad that a teammate is moving on, but glad that the team is upgrading.

In their hearts they know its their best last chance . They are old , wise and know the score.

I wouldn't be surprized if Doc hadn't already talked to them about way before we fans heard anything.

I'd say the trade will have their blessing.

They would look forward to playing against Rondo and forcing him to make a play or take a shot.

Relieved that offensive help is on the way... and no more double teams by Rondo's man.

I agree.

The quick answer is ray, paul and kg have played a combined 100 years in the nba , they'd be fine with it.   Try to win and visit Rondo when they played, probably talk on phone as well

The Ainge mind set might truly affect the team and future free agent signings.  If you play for Ainge you might want to take a davis approach to the "team" game, make my money now because this guy will trade me at any point.

They'd feel torn up about it at first...until they realize how [dang] good Chris Paul is.

I can't help but think they'd support it. They all know the drill at this point and, to be honest, I think Rondo p---es them off a decent amount. I think they'd understand it and just be glad it's over.

You don't.  But that team was broken up a couple years ago.  Now, I think they need to find a new identity...which is what a guy like Paul would bring.
