Boston Celtics trade rumors 2014: Rajon Rondo has told team he 'wants out,'
Publicly, Rajon Rondo and the Boston Celtics have supported each other strongly. Rondo has said "I don't like change much" and "I wouldn't mind staying here the rest of my career." He has repeatedly backed Danny Ainge, offering "complete faith" his boss will put together another contending roster. Rondo has hailed Brad Stevens and even decided, apparently for the first time ever, to spend the majority of his offseason in Boston.
Likewise, the organization has stood in Rondo's corner. Stevens has said he loves coaching the point guard. Wyc Grousbeck has said he loves Rondo, period. Despite consistent Rondo trade rumors, Ainge routinely scoffs at any mention of moving the four-time All-Star.
But maybe the relationship isn't as strong as the Celtics indicate or Rondo is already sick of rebuilding. During a behind-the-scenes clip of ESPN's Around the Horn, which the show posted Wednesday on YouTube, the great Jackie MacMullan suggested Rondo has already made it clear he will not stay after his contract expires next summer. (See video below.)
When Frank Isola raised the topic of trading Rondo, MacMullan replied, "Oh, I hope so. Just get it done. And it will happen because he's told them he wants out. And no one believes me, but that's the truth."
