There's a pretty big difference between trying to get rid of Rajon Rondo and trying to acquire Chris Paul. I think Rondo would be pretty hurt if we were actively shopping him in multiple deals to try to get rid of him because he isn't valued in this franchise - that's simply not the case.

While I'm sure he's not thrilled about the rumors, being considered in a swap for arguably a top-5 player in the NBA is not exactly a slap in the face.

Sums it up nicely, well said. TP.
