Rajon Rondo wants out of Boston?
Published on September 9, 2014 by Scott Shirley · No CommentsIt has been no secret that Rajon Rondo has not always been happy in his time Boston.
ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan added some thoughts about Rondo wanted out of Boston. Here is what see said and the panel on ESPN’s Around the Horn:
Frank Isola: Hey Jackie, now that Kevin Love’s traded, you know who’s next up? Your boy.
Jackie MacMullan: Oh, I hope so. Just get it done.
Isola: Now it’s gonna be the Fall of Rondo.
MacMullan: I know it. And it will happen ‘cause he’s told them he wants out. And no one believes me, but that’s the truth. And I don’t see how you get 80 cents on the dollar for him. Tell me where. Tell me where. I mean, you know, the Knicks? People keep saying the Knicks. Yeah, well, who are they going to give you? The Kings want him, and the Kings will give you Isaiah Thomas and the big kid, McLemore.
J.A. Adande: They lost Isaiah, the Kings. Isiaah’s down in Phoenix now.
MacMullan: Oh yeah, that’s right. Yeah, you’re right. God, that’s right.
Isola: They do want him, though.
MacMullan: Yeah, and they’ll give up McLemore. But the thing is, Rondo’s already told ‘em flat-out, I will never re-sign with you. So that’s no good. Where do you go?
Isola: I wonder, you know — maybe something with Houston and the Brooklyn Nets. Maybe some kind of three-way?
MacMullan: Houston has interest in everybody, right? They always do. But the piece there was supposed to be Asik, and he’s gone now. So, I don’t know.
Isola: And so is Jeremy Lin. There was talk about Jeremy Lin and Asik. What about a team like Dallas?
MacMullan: I don’t know. Does Dallas want him? Who do they give you back?
Isola: We know the coach of the Clippers — I mean, they have Chris Paul, but I don’t think he’d ever take him.
MacMullan: He doesn’t like Rondo, remember that. I mean, he’s done with Rondo. They went a good, long way together, but that guy, Rondo drives him nuts. And they have Chris Paul anyway. They don’t need him. I thought maybe Phoenix might be interested because Ryan McDonough knows him, and they’ve got Bledsoe so maybe that works. Maybe that works, I don’t know. But then the Celtics have the same problem, unless they think Bledsoe’s worth a max
