As much as I love the shoutout to KG and Pierce. This is pathetic. The Bulls should waive Rondo ASAP. He is delusional at this point.

Delusional??? As much as I believe Rondo can be a stubborn SOB this is not one of those situations. He is right for calling out Wade and his cohort, Butler, for taking their angst out on their team mates.

Rajon is right on this one.

that bits delusional

Also, why the **** are you posting this on social media? If you are who you claim to be in this post, this should have been said in the locker room.
Rondo has clashed with coaches but he's not a bad teammate.  Butler and Wade threw their teammates under the bus to the media and that's why Rondo responded.  At least two others, Jerian Grant and Isaah Canaan, have responded.

Wade & Butler shouldn't be doing what they're doing but Rondo isn't doing himself any favors here, either. It's wrong too.   Keep that in the locker room.

In this instance, two wrongs don't make it right.

Butler reportedly had problems "being a leader" prior to this season as well.  Looks like he's going the Wade/LeBron route of publicly blaming everyone.  I'm not impressed.

Rondo was a great team mate on the Cs.... he brought it everyday, and doubly so in the playoffs. Why take it to social media? That question is better posed to Butler and Wade.

that's like calling a double technical when you should really be calling out the initial culprit. Wade and Butler broke the code by calling out teammates in public... they are at fault.

How is he delusional?  I like that Rondo is sticking up for the role players and younger players on the team.  Butler and Wade shouldn't be complaining to the media and publicly placing the blame on their teammates.  You keep that stuff behind closed doors.
He is delusional in saying he is a good teammate. If he was a good teammate he wouldnt have quit on his team in Dallas and he wouldnt have gotten less than Timofey Mozgov after leading the NBA in assists. He is not a good teammate. If he was a good teammate, he would have enough respect in that lockerroom to be able to say these things instead of blasting them on social media.

The content in his post is correct. I dont think Wade or Butler should have called guys out. The fact that he threw it in an instagram post is pathetic.

this post: pathetic, not too delusional
Rondo: delusional, should be cut

Its tough to watch the game and your career slide past you. His words are sign of frustration...but he'll always have that ring.

Rondo was a great teammate on a team with Paul Pierce KG Ray Allen and Doc Rivers. Im not that impressed that he was a good teammate with that much veteran leadership surrounding him. He quit on his team in Dallas. When you quit on a team, you lose your right to call yourself a great teammate. Credibility matters and Rondo doesnt have enough any more to make this kind of post.

And Rondo isn't helping matters any more by posting this on social media for everyone to see.

He's in the wrong too.  This really shouldn't be difficult to see.

Let's also not overlook the fact that only KG and Pierce were in the picture, too, no Ray, even though he was as much of a "vet" to Rondo as the other two.
Pierce and especially KG were veteran mentors for Rondo and were the leaders of the team.  Ray did his job but I don't think he was that integrated with the team.

Rondo just joined Mozgov, Evan Turner, and Joakim Noah in the basket of untradeables. In spectacular fashion I might add.

They really threw their teammates under this bus and it seemed like a coordinated comments. Wade and Butler clearly took the time to discuss the team's issues with each other and then make comments in the media, why not address the team? I think it's crappy that the team's so called leaders take no responsibility for the team's struggles and to publicly embarrass the team on top of it is just complete garbage. You can't take all the credit for winning and none of the blame for losing, that's not leadership.

As far as Rondo making the comments on social media - he's never done anything like this that I can recall. He's typically a private guy. Even in Dallas when things got bad with Rick, he wasn't in the media about it. Neither him nor Rick were. But he seems invested in some of the young players on that team - Bobby Portis talked about how he supported him at a pick up game and came to watch the younger guys play in summer league. Wade and Butler seem to care more about media than handling this in the locker room, so maybe he figures why not call them out in the media too? If you can dish, take it "leaders".

No, he's tradable.  He only has a smallish guarantee next year, so someone looking to move a contract might be interested.
