However, CBSSports.com has learned that the Lakers have engaged in preliminary trade discussions with an unlikely trade partner regarding Howard: their fierce rival, the Boston Celtics. The centerpieces of the possible deal, which hasn't gained any traction, would be Howard and Rajon Rondo.
This rumor is hilarious to me. It brought a bit of chuckle to me when I read it. In my take this rumor seriously mind... I'm all for trading Rondo, but please keep this guy away from my team.
