This has been a rumor for years, but with the news of Rondo apparently wanting to test free agency next year this wouldn't surprise me.

I like how you link to a blog post where the majority of the text is quoting Chris Forsberg's opinion that basically answers your question with a "no".

If you don't like my post, then just kick me off of the site. Is it really necessary to continue the conversation with sarcasm? ESPN.com does the same thing but of course that's OK.

ESPN.com is often stupid.

You're in for a rough time if you can't handle sarcasm.

I can handle sarcasm, it's the troll attitude that's masked as sarcasm, LOL! :P I thought that Rondo possibly being traded was more than just a simple "NO!" answer.

If you need more than just a simple "NO!", how about "What Forsberg said" as an answer?

I see what you are saying, sorry for the sarcastic reply, but nobody really knows what's in Rondo's head, maybe he wants a change, maybe he doesn't.

God I hope so. Rondo is extremely overrated.

ESPN does it to generate web traffic though.

I think Rondo stays in green and I would prefer it that way.

I also think he re-signs with us next summer and we go all out for a big fish (Aldridge, Gasol, Jordan.)

As bleak as our immediate future looks right now, I hold out hope that next summer our team is going to be back in the conversation.

Maybe he is, but what's the alternative?

Marcus Smart hasn't logged a single second of nba action.

So? What have you seen so far to make you think that he'll be a bust? Everything seen and heard (from Team USA practices) has been glowing so far. We aren't contending this year so give him the starting PG spot and let him develop.

If being called out on producing "content" that contains a larger quotation than what you wrote is troll behavior to you, then the internet is not a place for you.

But I did click your link, so your mission was accomplished.

Sorry, but you are like a spam. I read this blog regularly and there is a lot of talk here about Rondo. It was dissected for pieces. I don't like people who act like they didn't know the topic was discussed ad nauseum (it's not just you). It's nothing new in it.

Other thing: I don't like your gif (any fast gif) , when you post a lot in a thread my head is spinning.
