It would be weird if he wasn't named captain.

But as small signs go it's a pretty positive one.

I expect they expect to build around him, instead of trading for what he'd net them. But the move would make just as much sense if they were building him up for a trade instead.

Not really weird..remember at the beginning of the season Brad said they wasn't naming a Captain..I assume they knew all along and wanted to surprise Rondo.

At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

  I'm sure we'll be hearing about how this all but guarantees he'll be traded soon enough.

I wouldn't want it any other way

I always said when I left the Celtics, I could not go to heaven, because that would
 be a step down. I am pure 100 percent Celtic. I think if you slashed my wrists, my
