Man, remember when some Boston fans saw some Jason Kidd in him. That seems like a long time ago now.
Personally, I would've liked to see him and Kevin Durant as a tandem. Now, I've shifted my interest in wanting to see him and Blake Griffin... Lastly, it would be intriguing to see what it would be like to see him and Josh Smith together since they're good friends. But then, I'd a similar thinking about Paul Pierce and Baron Davis.
Actually, I wonder if Rondo needs a friend like Smith at a time like this since Kendrick Perkins is gone. It's very unlikely to happen... But, I thought about it: Do I want to see it happen? Is Smith a leader? Is he the type of personality that gets a team's head coach fired? Sometimes, what sounds like a good idea on paper, isn't a good idea in reality. Still, Rondo needs a teammate he trust that will be a Celtic for the long term. Again, Perkins is gone and I wonder what Rondo's state of mind is right now. Does he want to be traded out of Boston now due to any distrust toward Ainge or the trade rumors.
If this all ends badly for Rondo and the Boston fans for this upcoming season. Ainge would be wise to hold onto that future Clippers first round pick. It might be all we've to look forward to post Garnett and Allen.
