So sick of the Jackie Mac ass kissing on here . It's like she is untouchable when she comes out with something like this . She hasn't been in the inner circle of the celtics for a number of years, and writes and works for ESPN now , the same company that makes up Rumors and titles it with " Source says" all the time .
I am sure she is a fine writer and had connections in the C's heyday of the Bird era , but she has been saying this about Rondo for a number of years now, and it hasn't happened yet .
Rondo has says on numerous occasions that he loves Boston and wants to stay here , yet people just dismiss it as if it means nothing.
I am not saying that Rondo won't be traded , but we have been hearing this for 5+ years .
The only time I am aware of Danny offering Rondo in a trade was for CP3 and Steph Curry, both top 10-15 players in this league. Danny is a smart GM and isn't trading Rondo for Ben McLemore and filler .
Yet a lot of people on here have this weird obsession with anything Jackie Mac says , as if she is above it all , and can't possibly be wrong .
Rondo is just a jerk,clown,role player trade his ass, he sucks , blah blah blah .
So sick of it
This C's fan still loves you Rondo, keep ya head up !
She also called Kevin Love not being traded here within 5 days of him being in Boston, and almost everything she said turned out to be 100% true. She got that info from a serious source.
So when she talks, people listen. Read this article and see what she says about Rondo. She's not attacking him, and says she understands if he were to leave the Celtics in a rebuilding situation.
No one is taking her word as 100% gospel, but she's not known for making up rumors. There's a reason so many people are worried about hearing this from her.
The consensus seems to be that she means that Rondo 'wants out' if they can't get any notable free agents or big trades for an All Star- which it appears they can't. Obviously a lot can change in a year as you said, but the percentage chance of us pulling off some miracle trade to put another star next to him is very low.
It's much more likely that we can't get our hands on a player like that and thus Rondo has let them know 'look I love you but I can't play on this team of whipper snappers and teach them how to play basketball, I'm Rajon Rondo, I play for championships baby- so get me some help or I'll have to leave. I'm letting you know in advance because I love you and want to give you as much time as possible to find me some help.'
..Or something like that
Anyway read this it's a good read.
