While it's true that Rondo couldn't do what Harris did with the Nets team, I don't see how that's a knock against Rondo. The only thing Harris has on Rondo is a jump shot and Harris is not an all-league shooter. Rondo is smarter with the ball and is simply better all around. I can see why people would gravitate towards Harris though. The Nets would keep Harris while the Celtics would keep Rondo, that's pretty much the end of that.

We could use another guard but no way is that our biggest need. Our guard rotation with House, TA (when he actually played) and sparingly used bums like Pruitt, etc., was fine. The Celtics didn't have a competent back up 3 or 5 last season and that is what we need most. Rondo is young, has great stamina and should be playing 38+ minutes a game. That would make our need for a back up guard even smaller. It's hilarious that Doc only gives him 32 MPG, while running our old heads into the ground.

Ainge was simply doing his job - attempting to sell high after buying low I doubt any Rondo talks were serious. He just wanted to see his value around the league.
