RAJON RONDO RUMORS & GOSSIP
A Pair of 9s: The Parallel Paths of Rajon Rondo and Tony Parker
As a nineteen year-old Frenchman with no college experience, Tony Parker was not a highly touted prospect in the 2001 draft. At little more than 6 feet, 175 pounds, he was short, skinny, and a poor shooter, nearly falling into the second round before San Antonio snagged him with the 28th pick.
After an up-and-down rookie year, many considered Parker to be the Spurs' weak link...
Now is not the time to trade Rajon Rondo
One of the many question marks facing the Celtics this offseason is the future of Rajon Rondo. While the trade rumor mill is seemingly always spinning when it comes to the Boston point guard, it makes very little sense for the C's to deal him this summer. According to the Boston Herald's Steve Bulpett, one NBA general manager had this to say about the situation:
“I...
Ford: With the 16th Pick, The Boston Celtics Pick Dennis Schroeder
As I posted earlier, there is a huge difference among mock drafts as to who the Celtics (and everyone else) are going to pick. Of the 38 mock drafts I checked out at the time, there were 17 different players projected as the Celtics pick at 16. With the lottery in the books and teams holding workouts and players moving up and down in scouts' opinions, things will more than...
Mock draft: Dennis Schroeder is a young Rondo
ESPN’s Chad Ford has the Celtics taking German point guard Dennis Schroeder (6-2, 195) in his latest mock draft. Here’s the write up on the 19-year-old Schroeder:
Analysis: With Rajon Rondo‘s future up in the air, could the Celtics take the guy who many scouts compare to a young Rondo? Both are quick, long and have huge hands. Both play a frantic style of basketball and both...
The Return: Rondo's Masterful Game 4
A unique talent, Rajon Rondo is truly unlike any player we have seen before. With tremendous quickness, fierce will, and unparalleled creativity, #9 has dazzled basketball fans ever since coming to Boston in 2006. After being selected as an All-Star starter for the first time in his career, Rondo's season ended all too soon when he tore his ACL in January. Though the devastating...
Green Kick Of The Season R1: Rondo Hyperposites v JET Kamikaze II’s
The 2012/13 NBA season did not pan out the way it was supposed to for the Boston Celtics. One positive we can take away from the season was the shoe game of many Celtics. They stood up in the kick department and showed us some heat.
To celebrate this season’s best kicks, I have selected the best 16 kicks from the weekly Green Kick Of The Week to battle it out. It is now up to you...
We need Rajon Rondo back in order to get the good Avery Bradley back
The Boston Herald's Mark Murphy wrote and article yesterday entitled "Rajon Rondo the linchpin." Murphy notes that Rondo's ACL tear will likely lead to the Celtics receiving only "trash offers" for him on the trade front this offseason. Murphy also suggests that Rondo is a very attractive piece to have in attempting to lure free agents, mentioning...
Your Morning Dump… Where Rondo is the new era
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
Even if Ainge decides to free up cap space by parting with his two elder stars, he needs something to attract free agents. Rondo would be that lure — the facilitator that players such as Al Jefferson and...
What do we do with… Rajon Rondo?
The offseason is here for the Boston Celtics, and in just a couple of months, they will begin the process of putting next year’s team together. We will take a look at the current Celtics and try to figure out what to do with each of them. We continue today with Rajon Rondo.
The injury seemed innocuous enough. Rajon Rondo landed somewhat awkwardly on his right leg in a late...
Rondo seated ringside for Floyd Mayweather fight
Rajon Rondo was spotted (wearing a sparkly t-shirt) in a ringside seat at Floyd Mayweather’s fight last night in Vegas.
I was a bit surprised to learn that Rondo had left Boston on Friday and was not on the bench for Game 6 vs the Knicks. He’s taken a well publicized assistant coach/mentor role in the playoffs.
I don’t want to jump to conclusions and blast Rondo for abandoning...
