WEEI writer, and friend of Red's Army, Jess Camerato spent some time out in Vegas this summer watching the summer league and talking to a lot of the players.  One thing she heard a lot of, was Rajon Rondo praise from the rookie guards."He just goes out there and plays hard every game," Sacramento guard Tyreke Evans told WEEI.com. "He goes out there, plays with his teammates, plays defense, gets to the basket. He does everything that his team needs him to do."“I'm a big Rajon Rondo fan,”  Milwaukee guard [and fellow Oak Hill academy graduate Brandon Jennings] said. “I think what he did in the playoffs was awesome. I try to take something from him. He might not be one of the best shooters in the league, but he gets the job done. He does everything else that a team needs and he's a true point guard."I obviously share their opinion.  I think Rondo has progressed from a guy struggling off the bench to burgeoning NBA superstar amazingly quickly.  It's nice to see other young players looking up to him.  That's just a taste of it.  The whole piece is worth checking out. Now comes the issue of who will back Rondo up... because it doesn't look like Gabe Pruitt's gonna be the guy.An NBA source confirmed yesterday the Celtics are attempting to trade Pruitt, whose option deadline is Friday. The Celtics are leaning toward not picking up Pruitt’s option, which would leave the guard free to sign with another team.Obviously, he'd be part of the Marquis Daniels sign-and-trade... if that ever happens.  I'll be interested to see if he gets it together somewhere else.  I think he could be on the verge of a productive career... but maybe I'm just looking at it through my green glasses.Celtics 17 used Chuck's name in a headline again... but this time they threw mine in there too... since they interviewed us about Red's Army and the Celtics.  The photo used in the post is actually a mouse pad currently available in the Red's Army store.
