His agent Bill Duffy told CSNNE.com that his client has no plans of asking for a trade, adding that Rondo is looking forward to working with new C's coach Brad Stevens.
"They (Rondo and Stevens) had a good conversation," Duffy told CSNNE.com. "Brad said that he wants to learn from Rajon, and they're both two pretty smart guys. They both have the same agenda. I think it'll be fine."
"He understands this is a great opportunity for him to assert his individual leadership," Duffy said. "So he has been mentored by some Hall of Fame guys now ... He has the opportunity to lead himself now and he relishes that opportunity."
Despite lowered expectations for the C's, Rondo's competitive drive will still push him and, to some degree, his teammates.
"He'll embrace this opportunity," Duffy said. "The question is, are the other players with him ready to be challenged the way he's going to challenge them?"
"You can never penalize a guy for being competitive and wanting to win," Duffy said. "That's what this is about. But he probably will be a little more tolerant with these younger guys, understanding he can help them to become better and more confident through his leadership. So that's what we're anticipating."
