Ainge sendir Rondo kveðjur

Ef einhver efast um að Boston séu að reyna að treida Rajon Rondo þarf viðkomandi að lesa þetta:

Ainge said Rondo needed to take more of a leadership role and revealed the 23-year-old was fined for showing up late to a playoff game. “We expect him to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader,” Ainge said. “There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I don’t know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and it’s just unacceptable.”

“As we saw in the Orlando series, they left him wide open,” Ainge said. “His presence hurt us in winning right now because his man went and doubled onto Ray [Allen] and Paul [Pierce] and made it difficult for us.” Ainge said Rondo wasn’t “that disruptive of a player,” but that he still hasn’t fully matured.

“He’s got to grow up in some cases, and I think he is, too,” Ainge said. “Slowly but surely Rondo is maturing. He’s getting a little bit more control over his emotions and he’s responding in a more positive way as he gets older and more mature in the league. We certainly would not trade him because of those things. We really need him as our point guard to be a leader than someone who thinks more of himself at times.”

Jamal Crawford líklega farinn til Hawks

NBA front-office sources say that the Warriors and Hawks will soon complete a deal sending Crawford to Atlanta for Acie Law and Speedy Claxton.

One source close to the process told ESPN.com on Wednesday night that the trade remains likely to be formally completed Thursday morning, but another source with knowledge of the Hawks' thinking told ESPN.com's Andy Katz that Atlanta coach Mike Woodson isn't sold on the trade and that Crawford's early termination option in his contract after next season is an issue.

Sonur MJ hættur í boltanum

Jeff Jordan said today that he’s not playing ball at Illinois anymore, and will instead focus on “life after basketball” and just being a student. Although he had scholarship offers from smaller colleges coming out of high school powerhouse Loyola Academy (Ill.), Jordan walked on at Illinois, where he scored a total of 58 points and 42 assists in 59 appearances. As a sophomore he averaged a little more than eight minutes per game.

Mike’s younger son, Marcus Jordan, just finished his senior year of high school and will be playing at Central Florida next season. Marcus is a 6-3 guard and is widely considered a better prospect than his older brother.

Rubio til í að spila frítt

Ricky Rubio's Spanish team, DKV Joventut, has a powerful bargaining chip. The buyout Rubio would need to join the NBA -- being negotiated down as we speak -- could be worth a similar amount as his rookie NBA contract. In other words, he could make millions from whichever NBA team picks him tomorrow, and he could give all or almost all of that money to Joventut.

He might play for years in the NBA without making a penny, (at least before endorsements are considered).

Rubio says that wouldn't bother him. "I have a dream," he said. "I want to play in the NBA." If his rookie contract nets him zero, he says, "I don't care."

Trade slúður: Ekkert verður úr BOS-DET trade

According to the infamous “league sources” and Yahoo! Sports, the Celtics proposed a trade to the Pistons: Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo to Detroit for Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stuckey. And the Pistons shut it down ASAP. Now why exactly would the Celtics want to trade the starting backcourt of a team that just won a championship one year ago? It can’t just be a money thing; Ray’s $19.7 million salary comes off the books in 2010, dwarfing Rip’s $11M expiring deal, and Prince is still owed $11 million in 2010-11. Stuckey has a team-option in 2010 for less than $3 million, and Rondo will be a restricted free agent that summer, meaning Boston would have given up $22 million of potential cap space to get back $14M at the most. So maybe the thought was that the Celtics needed to get something for Rondo rather than lose him in free agency.
