Danny Ainge was on WEEI... again.  And he was answering questions about Rajon Rondo... again.  This time, though, the tone was a little nicer.“I think we value Rondo more than anybody else in the league values him and we know everything about him — all the good and the bad that comes with a 23-year-old kid who’s been put in a pressure kicker,” said Ainge. ” I don’t know if we said he had a bad attitude. I think he needs to mature, like we talked about. But I like Rondo’s attitude. I like Rondo’s competitive spirit. I think the kid, he’s late for a playoff game — we’re not going to condemn him for the rest of his life. We took care of it and it’s over…I’m amazed at how people want to take the little things and blow them out of proportion.”And for those of you sick of all the Rondo talk... I'll just end on some very encouraging words from the same interview about Kevin Garnett.Right after the surgery – I mean three days after the sur...

Rodrigue Beaubois is a Rajon Rondo-type athlete

Two numbers stick out on Rodrigue Beaubois' scouting report: 6-10 wingspan and 39-inch vertical. As Mavs radio play-by-play man Chuck Cooperstein pointed out, the 6-2, 182-pound Beaubois physically has a lot of similarities with Rajon Rondo. "He's a similar type of athlete with exceptionally long arms, lean and really quick straight ahead and good laterally as well...

Rajon Rondo's Agent Responds to Ainge

by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Celtics, NBA RumorsRajon Rondo's name has been appearing in some trade rumors recently, which, on the surface, seems somewhat odd. After all, he had somewhat of a coming out party in this year's playoffs, especially during the Celtics' epic series with the Bulls when he averaged close to a triple-double for the entire series.Danny Ainge...

Rajon Rondo’s Agent Fires Back at Danny Ainge

by Marcel Mutoni I had an item up on the site yesterday afternoon about Celtics GM Danny Ainge throwing Rajon Rondo under the bus (which mysteriously disappeared into the web’s ether), but no matter, Rondo’s agent is here to keep the story alive. Rajon’s rep couldn’t understand why Danny Ainge spoke so harshly about his client, and chose such a public forum...

Celtics GM Ainge Throws Rondo Under Bus…Again

After the Celtics beat the Bulls in an epic first-round playoff battle in April, Boston PG Rajon Rondo was hailed as Boston’s point guard of the future. Multiple triple-doubles (and a series-saving flagrant foul on Brad Miller) in a playoff series will do that sort of thing for a young player. (Rajon Rondo, seen here being [...]

Allen : Why Are The C’s So Eager To Move Rondo?

Though Danny Ainge denied a rumored swap of Boston’s Rajon Rondo and Brian Scalabrine for Memphis’ Rudy Gay and Mike Conley during the Celtics GM’s Wednesday morning appearance on WEEI , Ainge hardly gave Rondo a vote of confidence, telling Dennis & Callahan, “he’s got to grow up in some cases.“  Under what circumstances would [...]

The Ainge-Rondo feud continues

Not saying there will be a deal tonight (although that Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo to Detroit for Rip Hamilton, Rodney Stuckey and Tayshaun Prince deal was out there a few days ago), but Boston is clearly not happy with Rondo as their floor leader. Danny Ainge has ripped Rondo publicly, and now Rondo's agent is doing the same to Ainge. Interestingly, I've heard Stephen Curry...

Agent for Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics hits back at GM Ainge

General manager Danny Ainge's verbal flogging of Rajon Rondo on Boston's airwaves -- one day after saying the Boston Celtics "love the kid" -- has drawn the ire of the point guard's agent.

Now is not the time

As far as we know, Rajon Rondo is still a member of the Boston Celtics. The draft has come and gone and Boston did not trade its starry point guard to Detroit, Memphis, Sacramento, Phoenix, Tri-Cities, or Real Madrid.
