Your Morning Dump..Where Rondo Loves Being A Celtic

KWAPT (@KWAPT) November 13, 2014 Kendrick Perkins, Rajon Rondo, The Morning Dump 12 Comments

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

“From media day at the beginning [of the season], that’s what I said initially,” said Rondo, who offered an emphatic “yes” when asked in late September if he desired to stay in Boston.

Rondo is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, though both sides have expressed a desire for a long-term extension.

“Regardless of what’s going on in the season, my perspective hasn’t changed,” Rondo added Wednesday night. “I love being a Celtic.”

I know this stuff will not end until one of two things happen:

1) Rajon Rondo is traded by Danny Ainge

2) Rajon Rondo is re-signed by Danny Ainge

With neither of these most likely happening until closer to this year’s trade deadline, we’ll undoubtedly hear plenty more about it. But I think Rajon’s comments (see video below via Trags) last night post game and those of his close friend Perk mean a lot. Rondo wants this thing over as much as we all do. And Perk saying that he thinks Rajon should stay is big too believe or not. These guys are very close-brothers from another mother would be an understatement. And big brother (can you believe Perk is 30!) says stay:

“I think it’s a great place for him. I think he wants to stay here. We talk on the regular, and I think he should stay,” said Perkins. “If I was him, I’d stay.”

I know there are, and will be many more people giving Rajon their two cents on his decision. But guys that he really trusts like Perk telling him to stay will definitely weigh on his choice. In the meantime however, let’s just try and enjoy the gifted player we have here in Boston, and hope he gets a chance to lead us to another title-with a little help from some friends that Ainge brings in.

It really doesn’t mean much, as the C’s suffered an embarrassing, loss on their home floor, but Rondo was pretty impressive. The C’s PG came within one rebound of another triple-double, and seems to be recovering just fine from his ACL and hand injuries. Here are the highlights via Piotr Zarychta:

How are we not talking about the interview Perk did about Rondo last night?!

KWAPT, I think you need to modify event 2 to be:

2) Rajon Rondo is re-signed with a no-trade clause.

  i like that one Curt- you know Rondo would like that- maybe a little compromise- not an absolute max contract- but solid and a no trade clause-
  - Curt Hays
    
    Amen to that. A REAL hometown discount. “Rondo, give us a discount, and we’ll make this your new home as long as you want to stay here.”

Two plays RR made last night reminded me why I love how this guy plays…the dribble behind his back to himself, which just looks like it defies space and time…and the almost half court bounce pass to KO through multiple defenders. When he is firing on all cylinders, he is really something to watch alright.

Wouldn’t mind having Perk back at a discounted price after this season reuniting with his buddy Rondo. Rondo is all we have left from that 08 team, he’s pretty much where PP was back in 06-07, and like that time let’s build him a contender within the next year or two, let’s get it done Danny

  The way Perk is playing this season, I’d pay him market price. His offense and leadership has taken on a new personality this year.
  - Dave
    
    Not to mention he’s a vet now with championship experience so I’m sure a number of teams would be interested. Also one of the few guys in the league that doesn’t believe in the whole buddy buddy bs, a fine student from the KG school of toughness indeed.
