Jared Sullinger on Rondo: 'Hopefully he'll be back by December'

Found August 25, 2013 on Pro Sports Daily:
PLAYERS: Jared Sullinger,  Danny Ainge,  Rajon Rondo
TEAMS: Boston Celtics
Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge has stated publicly -- several times -- that point guard Rajon Rondo wants to return from ACL surgery by training camp and play on opening night. Yet while speaking with WSYX Columbus on Friday teammate Jared Sullinger shared a different timetable for Boston's four-time All-Star. "He's back working out again and hopefully he'll be back by December" said Sullinger. Obviously we don't know how much Sullinger knows but he has hopefully (if you're a Celtics fan looking for locker room camaraderie) stayed in contact with his longest-tenured teammate.

Video: Sullinger drops hint that Rondo may miss the first couple months of the season

Via Celtics Life  |  August 25, 2013
Jared Sullinger sat down for an interview this week with WSYX in Ohio. He obviously sounds excited to be returning to the court, but also mentioned that he hoped Rondo would be back by December (2:28). We've heard conflicting reports on when Rondo will return. We've even heard that he might be back by the start of camp. I think it's much more likely here that Rondo misses...

Free agent forward Kris Joseph has made a decision where he's going to play this...

SQ13#41—Most Valuable Celtic This Year

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  August 26, 2013
I suggest that the most valuable Celtic this year will not be a player.  This is a building year.  The most valuable Celtics’ builders will not be players but the coach and GM.  Danny must finagle the pieces and Stevens must develop, groom, and build a cohesive chemistry.  This organizational process will be far more important for the course of this franchise than this year’s...

Jason Kidd sets a very Rajon Rondo-like goal for Deron Williams of 10 assist per game

 On Sunday, Brooklyn Nets head coach Jason Kidd told the media that one of his goals for point guard Deron Williams this year is for Williams to average 10 assists per game, a number that immediately made me think of Rajon Rondo and his amazing streak of 37 games with 10 or more assists last season.
