Behind the scenes before going to air on 'Behind the Horn' this week.
Just a little off season banter from Jackie Mac. She seems to swear by it? Who's her source? There can't be that many people who would know about this. Hard part about watching this is realizing they are off air and she's just talking candidly about it.
*says he's told them he wants out
*says she's not sure who the Celtics can get any kind of equal value back from because the Knicks have nothing and Rondo has said he'll never re-sign in Sacramento.
*Interesting point she makes is that Doc is 'done' with Rondo, and Rondo drives him nuts.
*Says Bledsoe may work, but she says this is just her speculation because she says she's got no idea who can give us decent value in return.
I've always thought there's a serious chance Rondo leaves us with this crappy roster- we are quite a few pieces away from contending and we'll need a lot of luck to become even a top 4 team in the East.
But this hit home with me seeing how emphatic she is about this. Of all the clowns in the media she's one of those still holding some integrity (to me at least) and she seems convinced that her source is reliable.
If Rondo is gone, we are looking potentially looking at a potential 5-10 years before sniffing a championship again. Brace yourselves if this is true.
