Which is true? I'll let you decide. First, from RealGM: (http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/59611/20090605/source_rondo_not_on_block_some_minor_discussions_on_allen/)Rumors that Rajon Rondo was put on the block by the Boston Celtics seemed to be message board fodder and sources say the report is not true. "Can he be frustrating at times? Absolutely. But no one is ready to give up on him," a Celtics source said." Whoever put the Rondo rumors out there obviously works for someone other than the Celtics." The source said that the Celtics may have had some "very minor" conversations about Allen, "but he's not likely going anywhere, either."Or, we have the opposite viewpoint, from Hoopsworld: (http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=12861)Off the record, we have several sources telling us that Ray Allen is, indeed, on the block. It's easy to make the leap, as the Celtics have managed to develop some nice young talent around their Big Three while also managing to win a championship. They might have even repeated had Kevin Garnett been healthy. It's not a stretch to say the Celtics would part with Allen, who has an ending contract next season, if they could add another top young player to the mix. On the record we have an added wrinkle - one that we thought to be highly unlikely until we found it reported with a quote attributed to Celtics GM Danny Ainge. It seems the Celtics are willing to package Rajon Rondo with Allen to make the right deal happen.
