I'd guess that 90% of the time when you hear a "____ wouldn't sign with ____ if traded there" it's being leaked by the agent.

That said, this whole business with Rondo "turning down" trades to certain cities is starting to remind me of what's happened in recent years with Melo and Dwight.  I really hope we don't go down that road even a little bit.

Honestly, that may factor into Danny's consideration about possibly trading Rondo sooner, similar to how Utah traded Deron Williams really early in the process.

I think there's one where the eyes follow your mouse. Wish I could have found it.

Or, he may realize he will hold more long term value by keeping and resigning Rondo than he'll get in trade.

It's a little early to start comparing Rondo's situation and behavior  to that of D-Will's or Howard's.

I think it's just a bad time. Danny can't put a number down to show how much he values Rondo (for his camp), and with Danny's 'nobody is off the table' attitude, these rumors are just part and parcel of the process. So are the refutations of Rondo's camp. Just gonna go on til the deadline passes. Be happy we're not Minnesota.

Yeah, I'm not suggesting that Rondo is going to be like them.  It is early to start thinking that way.  But I really don't want anything resembling like that circus to go on here. 

As for Danny's decision, you're right that it could go the other way too.  There isn't a ton of urgency to make a deal now, but I don't believe that Rondo is certain to re-sign in Boston no matter what. 

My belief (and that's all it is, no evidence for it really) is that Rondo will stick around here if the team is in a position to be competitive within a year or so, or is at least on track.  If not, I think he's gone.  But a trade even in that case probably won't happen until a year from now.

  Reminds me of what PP did when he was in trade rumors. The key difference between Rondo and Dwight or Melo was that they both said they wouldn't consider re-signing with their current teams, Rondo's said pretty much the opposite. Deron getting traded early in the process was likely related to his reportedly being a key part of Sloan quitting in the middle of the season.

Are there any other teams Rondo wouldn't Re-sign with ? . This is getting annoying now , memo to rondo you don't have a no trade clause so you have no say on where Danny should trade you to. Rondo is using scare tactics to nix any trade danny has planned by refusing to re-sign with that team. Smh.

read somewhere that he wouldn't resign with utah either, but can't find it now...

When the Celtics have significantly less leverage as he would be on an expiring deal, I feel like if they want to trade him it will be thursday, or draft day.

Maybe Rondo can be a reverse Melo and do everything he can to make it hard for Ainge to trade him because he really wants to be a Celtic.  After this season, he will be eligible for a no-trade clause and maybe he will demand one on his next contract.

Question: why would Rondo extend with any team right now?

If he plays out his current contract, can't he command more money when he hits free agency? If he extends now, he leaves money on the table, doesn't he?

I dunno, if Trader Dan can (and will) discuss trading Rondo with all interested parties, I have a hard time criticizing Rondo for giving signals about who he'd resign with.

It all seems like fair game (and good bargaining strategy) to me.

  I don't think that trading him at the deadline next year would hurt their leverage much because he'd have to agree to re-sign with a team before they'd trade for him.

  Hopefully 29 of them.
