i'm not upset about how this played out.
look, getting Love would have kept Rondo here, plain n' simple. it didn't happen, there weren't many better alternatives to Love for a quick(er) rebuild.
was danny planning on just letting Rondo walk after this yr.? I actually believe so. I think BS and Rondo clashed and have clashed throughout their time together(the infamous B-day incident last yr.), and now the recent benching. I think between the time of the benching and yesterday either BS or Rondo or both went to Ainge and said "it aint workin, one of us needs to go".
I believe this because of the suddenness that one day we hear "renewed interest in moving Rondo" and such. and then the very next day, he's gone? when the trade deadline isn't until Feb., there really was no rush to move him even if we were trying to lose because we weren't winning with him anyway. but all of a sudden he gotta go? I don't know, seems there was more to it than that.
