Not saying it's linked to the trade rumors. Just thought I'd share cuz it was a funny coincidence. He has a bruise wrist from a dunk contest in practice or something. sounds legit

[satch]

Interesting.....

Injury supposedly. He bruised his wrist dunking with Dwight Howard. Forgot the details.

  It could have been worse. At least his head avoided Dwight's elbows.

That's exactly the plan. All his Rondo "gear" becomes obsolete in an instant. That's why part of me doesn't want to see Rondo traded. It's a packaged deal and I don't really want to see Tim go.

  It wouldn't be that bad. I'm sure you'd end up making making ridiculous statements about a different player and we'd be right back where we are.

I don't know man, you've had some Rondo nuggets that are really hard to top. Word of  advice, If you do depart to that Clutch City forum, don't start spewing "Rondo is a top 5 player". I know you'll probably ignore that and you're going to hit the ground running instead.

  I guess these childish posts somehow reduce the sting of some argument (or arguments) that you've lost about Rondo, so knock yourself out. Every little victory counts.

All in good fun, man. Don't be so dramatic. Don't forget that we're talking about a guy that cares nothing about you.

  Yeah, and don't forget you don't need to take these discussions so personally.

Sherrod Blakely just said the Houston deal for Rondo is not likely to happen because Ainge wants Parsons and his bargain contract and the Rockets don't want to give him up.

Tell us something we don't know Blakely!!!

Funny how all Sherrod does is speculate and regurgitate reports; he doesn't even offer basic analysis afterwards like "Maybe Houston will relent when they realize Rondo will put them over the top."

Yep he's a joke. it is what it is

What a bs rumor this is.  Chandler Parsons? Asik? Gimme a break.  Everyone should know Ainge well enough by now that Rondo ain't getting dealt for those bums.  Old Danny boy is probably asking for Harden.

Sports news/betting website IBN Sports Wrap said this in response to Marc Stein's initial tweet regarding Rondo-to-Rockets via their own Twitter account, @IBNincarcerated:

@ESPNSteinLine Marc #IBN made this update 4 hours ago.. way to use our info w/o crediting https://twitter.com/IBNincarcerated/status/436193842870505473 … #Ronda talks #Rockets

They were referring to this tweet, in which they reported Rondo-to-Rockets talks (posted at 9:41 A.M.; Stein's was posted at 12:22 P.M.):

**UPDATED NBA RUMOR**Source: Rockets and Celtics discussing a major deal that would send @RajonRondo to Houston (Multiple picks involved)

NOTICE the difference between Stein's tweet and their's. Stein claims the Rockets have interest in Rondo while this account claims discussions are underway. I trust Stein more but thought it was interesting.

interesting that Howard isn't all that thrilled about potentially playing with rondo per Peter vecsay
