Barbosa also suggested that in a little while we will get a surprise. Perhaps there is a trade already in the works. Barbosa has shown an ability to contribute offense off the bench and put up some quick points. It's nice to have a player like that on the bench and so I can see why Danny wouldn't want to trade him. But if Barbosa is unhappy, it may be in the best interest of the team to try to trade him to a team that needs a guard and could give him more playing time, since on the Celtics he has Rondo, Bradley, Terry and Lee all a...

Take note - You should NOT look down if you ever shake Rajon Rondo's hand.  John Anderson had to learn this lesson the hard way.

Video: Rondo and Garnett discuss possibility of being named All-Star starters

Via Celtics Life  |  January 17, 2013
Rajon Rondo and Kevin garnett were both on pace to start the All-Star game with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony. Rondo is basically assured of the spot, but KG was in a tight race with Chris Bosh. Would suck for Rondo to have to start with 3 Heat players and Carmelo Anthony. Hopefully Celtics fans voted a ton these final days and got KG the nod. Videos courtesy of Chris Forsberg.
