Check out my blog, CELTICS 17, tomorrow for a live commenting thread and rumors all day.

I don't have ESPN Insider, so thankfully CelticsBlog gave us a quick update on Rondo rumors, which seem to be piling up each minute we wait for the NBA Draft to begin. Here's the latest:

Chris Broussard: Rajon Rondo is definitely on the market. I'm told he's very hard for Doc Rivers to coach, and that although Rondo gets along OK with his teammates, he's far from a great teammate. The fear in Boston is that if Rondo is this difficult to handle on a rookie-scale salary, he'll be a monster once he earns big money.

One GM told me, "They won a championship with this guy, and he's coming off a tremendous playoff performance ... and they're looking to trade him. That tells you how bad things are."

Marc Stein: The Celtics scoffed with vigor Tuesday night when we presented them with a Rajon Rondo/Brian Scalabrine-for-Rudy Gay/Mike Conley scenario.

It certainly does make more sense that the Celts wouldn't surrender Rondo without getting the second overall pick back in the swap, but it's clearly getting harder and harder for them to convince folks that Rondo.

This is hard for me to say, but I'm really beginning to believe that Rondo is going to be on the move, whether it be tonight, tomorrow morning, during the Draft, or post-Draft.

There are just too many rumors to have a deal fall through—too many GMs confirming that yes, Rondo is being shopped. Too many experts, like Chad Ford and Chris Broussard, are telling us that despite Danny's denial, Rondo is on the block.

Maybe the biggest suspicion is the number of teams that would be interested in Rondo. Don't forget, Minnesota has four first-rounders. Timberwolves executive David Kahn says that they will not give up both the fifth and sixth pick for Memphis' number two.

Could Minnesota and Boston be brewing up a blockbuster trade once again?

I believe so.

Without Randy Foye, they obviously have no true PG. Rubio may be one of the most hyped prospects and one of the more exciting point guards out there, but he's not as NBA-ready as people are projecting him to be.

As for Rondo—like the GM said—he won a championship with Boston, and he's coming off his best playoff showing yet—averaging close to a triple-double and keeping the C's from drowning when the Bulls were on the verge of upsetting the then-defending champions.

What do you guys think?

 

NOTE: There will be a commenting thread tomorrow (on Celtics 17. Link is above the article) I'll have up early in the morning so we can discuss the Draft-day trades (potential or real) and rumors. Make sure to comment!
