Ainge Denies Discussing Trade Of Rajon Rondo

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Boston Celtics are not discussing a trade of Rajon Rondo despite new trade rumors in media reports.

"I haven’t talked to any teams about Rajon Rondo," Danny Ainge told the Herald on Monday morning.

Ainge has instead received a number of calls from other teams asking if there is truth to the rumors.

"It's frustrating," Ainge said.

Rondo continues to rehab from ACL surgery.

Did they even interview him or are they just using an old interview from any of the last 7 years?

"I Haven't tried trading Rondo"

...however teams have tried trading for him.

he's probably pulling some fine line read the fine print stuff.

What else is new...Ainge lies, players suffer, and the Celtics drop further and further out of the picture.

teams are just trying to buy low on Rondo. It makes little sense to shop Rondo and get fair value in return when he has ? marks about his health.

i actually believe ainge this time...i think he wants to see how rondo plays under stevens for a full year before deciding whether to trade rondo or not.
