Good read.  Discussions should get serious over the next 20 hours.  Still a chance we keep him.

Great article with what will be the same ending...Hopefully!
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

  Kind of highlights how ridiculous all the claims we've seen in the past about needing to trade Rondo because he'd be so upset about the trade rumors were.

Awesome article.

Is it bad that I really sympathize with the guy? I can't recall a player in the NBA who has had their name dragged through the trade muds as much as Rondo.

I found this interesting:

Quote
Rondo was on board with the deal before it happened. It’s not like Ainge would just trade an All Star’s best friend without running it by the guy first. In this case, Rondo signed off, and Perk was sent packing. This happens to coincide with the time that Rondo’s game (or it seemed, his effort) turned more inconsistent than ever.
