There is speculation that the Boston Celtics are looking to trade veteran star Ray Allen and that they might also part with point guard Rajon Rondo to make the right deal happen. There appears to be a small riff involving Rondo in the Celtics' organization. GM Danny Ainge made the following statements:
"He's stubborn," Ainge told ESPN's Jackie MacMullen. "He doesn't always take direction well. He's very bright and knows what he needs to do to be successful. But sometimes he doesn't understand what the team needs to be successful."
Earlier in the season, head coach Doc Rivers said this to Rondo:
"Do you know your teammates hate playing with you? ... The point guard has to be the guy that brings energy to the team. You can't be the guy that sucks it away. Your moodiness is affecting us. Change it."
Despite having the support of several veterans, including Paul Pierce, it seems possible that Rondo could be traded if the Celtics can find a trade they like.

Rondo was always a jerk. Great player, but a jerk. Now he's a rich jerk. A wonderful combination.
