Danny Ainge denied rumors back in November of him possibly shopping all-star point guard Rajon Rondo. Well, according to Chad Ford of ESPN, Ainge is open to fielding offers now.
All three of the teams ahead of them have at least one young player they can conceivably build around. The Celtics? Rajon Rondo could be that building block. But he turns 28 in February, has posed chemistry issues in the past and there is an increasing belief among NBA circles that GM Danny Ainge will use him, once healthy, to get multiple assets back. So the chances that he’s the Celtics’ cornerstone moving forward look slim.
If Rondo resembles even a little bit of his old self, expect teams to start lining up like kids do for Jordan’s.
