Danny Ainge addressed all the Rondo rumors. Here are his quotes, via the Herald:
“I anticipate him being here for a long time”
“Rondo and Doc get along fine,” said Ainge. “That doesn’t mean there aren’t bumps in the road. But I think Rondo and Doc are actually better now than they have ever been. But there are other issues that concern us a lot more than that. There’s nothing new to this.”
Unless he's lying, this essentially refutes any rumors. If that's not enough for you, here's the clearest message yet:
"These rumors have never stopped, but I haven’t made a call mentioning Rondo’s name since last summer,” said Ainge. “That was during all of the Chris Paul stuff.
“Now, this time of year you’re going to get a lot of calls from other teams,” he said. “But that’s just normal. I don’t anticipate anything happening.”
Of course, the "I don't anticipate anything happening" leaves the door open for a "surprise" deal… but "I haven't made a call mentioning Rondo's name since last summer" flies in face of what Chris Broussard is reporting. And considering Broussard's track record, that should suprise absolutely no one. That doesn't sound like anyone is aggressively being shopped.
