Rondo on the block because of money demands?

On Tuesday’s edition of Comcast SportsNet’s
Sports Tonight, ESPN Radio’s Ryen Russillo and Sports Illustrated’s
Chris Mannix shed light on the Rajon Rondo trade rumors. Both pointed
to same reason for Rondo’s inclusion in offseason talks: Money.

Russillo: Yeah I think there’s a bigger chance that
they’d move him than maybe Boston fans would think. I think when it was
originally rumored, whatever that Phoenix deal was with Amar’e
Stoudemire, I heard a lot of people say oh the Celtics would never
trade Rondo. But based on what I’ve heard the last couple days, I don’t
think that’s true. Look, I don’t think they’re trying to move him, but
I think they’re trying to throw some pieces around and let basketball
people know that they’d move some of these guys to avoid maybe having
to pay Rondo all the money they’ll have to pay and then pair him with
guys that are going to be two years older than they are right now.

Mannix: Well they don’t like his contract demands
first of all. Rondo’s not the kind of guy who’s going to take a
hometown discount to stay in Boston. He’s going to sign with whoever
offers him the most dollars at the end of his contract, whenever it’s
up. He’s going to be a guy who’s going to go out there and try to get
the most money. — WEEI
