PLAYERS: Rajon Rondo
TEAMS: Boston Celtics
Despite the injury, the Boston Celtics have made Rajon Rondo available for trade.  However, a deal is unlikely.  If the team were to get anything done, it would probably have to be after the season.  Right now, Rondo is rehabbing from a torn ACL. According to ESPN Boston, if the Celtics received an offer for Rondo, they would not immediately turn it down.  It's not beyond the realm of possibility for a club to reach out for a trade involving an injured player, but they would have to get that player at a discounted rate. Rondo suffered the season-ending injury last month, but he is expected to be ready for the start of training camp next year.  For a team on the verge of competing, it would be an interesting move.  They would have to give up something now for the chance at success next season.Rondo has averaged 11.1 points and 8.3 assists per game in his career.  Prior to the injury, he was averaging 13.7 points and 11.1 assists per game.

  • I would like to the Celtics trade Rondo to Sac Town for Cousins and Jimmer. Sac Town would get rid of Cousins, who is unhappy and being ruined by that Smart guy. Smart would get rid of a bench player in Jimmer who everyone seams to be critizing the coach for not playing. The Celtics wold get a young big man who would be coached by a real coach (Rivers) and mentored by a big man who would help him become an All-star in this league. The Celtics would also get a young guard that could come off the bench to provide a scoring punch that they need. Sac town would get the kind of player that would distribute the ball to all of the "give-me-the ball" players that Smart has surrounded himself with. They wouldn't get worse then they are now, and maybe win a few more games next year.

Report: Celtics Willing to Trade Injured Rajon Rondo If They Can Find ‘Right Trade’

Rajon Rondo is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, but apparently that won’t stop the Celtics from moving their point guard — if they can somehow find a deal they like. That probably won’t be easy, but ESPN’s Chris Broussard reports (via Twitter) that the Celtics would trade their injured point guard if they were able to find the “right trade.” What exactly...

Boston Celtics willing to trade Rajon Rondo if the deal is good enough

No one is untouchable on the Boston Celtics ... even Rajon Rondo. The Celtics star point guard, who is recovering from season-ending ACL surgery, is available if the price is right, ESPN's Chris Broussard reported. This makes sense if Boston is serious about acquiring Los Angeles Clippers point guard Eric Bledsoe, who has been discussed as the potential centerpiece of a deal...

Report: C’s want the world in a Rondo trade

There isn’t a single Celtic that hasn’t been mentioned in some trade rumor somewhere.  Yesterday, Chris Broussard threw an “update” out there that Danny would move Rondo in the “right deal.” Anyone that knows this team, even a little bit, knows Danny Ainge will listen to any offer and move on something that he feels makes sense for the team.  Apparently, what makes...

Rajon Rondo Says ‘It Still Seems Like We’re Trying to Replace ‘

Many Celtics fans were relieved Thursday at 3 p.m. when the NBA trade window closed and Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett had not been dealt away. Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge, in a rare move, decided to play his current hand rather than trading key pieces for the promise of youth, a future or salary cap space. It hasn’t always been so, though, and the thought...

Report: D.J. White in Celtics’ Sights for 10-Day Contract to Fortify Slim Roster

The Celtics may be looking to add a big man to their core, and one name that has popped up is DJ White. According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Boston Celtics will look to sign the former Charlotte Bobcat to a 10-day contract. Hearing that...

Rondo's agent assured Rondo will not be traded

Agent for Rajon Rondo, Bill Duffy, tells USAT that Boston GM Danny Ainge assured him today the Celtics PG won't be traded. Story to come. — Sam Amick (@sam_amick) February 20, 2013 Another update in a crazy time before the trade deadline, this new information seems to be pretty plausible. Rondo is currently out with a season-ending injury, so his value would not be very high...

Ainge is pissed at opposing GM's with loose lips

Boston Herald: But the Celtics leader was upset that the allegedly private conversations had been revealed. “Hogwash,” was his initial response. “You know what? I don’t comment on any trade rumors at all. It doesn’t do me any good to make any comments at all.” Reminded that each report had come in perspective, with the Celts asking more than a Rondo’s ransom, Ainge...

Afternoon Delight: Immediate Opening

The trade deadline netted Jordan Crawford for the C's - who should add depth to the 1 and 2 voids created by the injuries to Rajon Rondo and Leandro Barbosa (now with the Wiz).  But many feel the Celts came up short at the deadline in trying to plug their hole(s) at the 5 - and most certainly adding a "big" would now be Boston's primary goal. The expected route...

Jeff Green Helps Celtics Work Past Injuries to Rajon Rondo, Jared Sullinger, Leandro Barbosa
