Rajon Rondo is known around NBA circles as a guy who can be mercurial, hard to get along with and just simply a guy who doesn’t care for NBA camaraderie.
You’ll never here Rondo bragging about his long list of NBA friends or brothers. According to Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com, Rondo’s personality and penchant for not caring what others think actually scares potential free agents away.
@celticsblog You must really enjoy the draft lottery.

@celticsblog Nope. It may help attract free agents, though.

@celticsblog From me talking to numerous players around the league.

Goodman refused to name the players uninterested in Rondo, but history points out that Rondo had relationship problems with Ray Allen during their time together in Boston.
