The Goods Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 When his name was mentioned so prominately in trade rumors, we should have know that Celtics president Danny Ainge has some kind of issue with guard Rajon Rondo(notes). According to the Boston Globe, Ainge was critical of Rondo's maturity and other issues, during an interview Wednesday on a Boston radion station. Ainge commented that Rondo "has to grow up'' in some areas, according to the Globe. Ainge said Rondo has to take a bigger leadership role 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." Ainge was also critical of Rondo's play during the Celtics' second-round loss to the Magic. "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." http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/rumors/post/Ainge-on-Rondo-He-s-got-to-grow-up-;_ylt=AsFNNZXby.zPygNhPYwO1ay8vLYF?urn=nba,172770 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurbyFX Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Going to be interesting to see how this affects Rondo's game this upcoming season. All the trade talks, the attitude problem and the lack of a consistent jump shot could hurt the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtics3420 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Going to be interesting to see how this affects Rondo's game this upcoming season. All the trade talks, the attitude problem and the lack of a consistent jump shot could hurt the contract. Thats what Ainge wants. He's basically trying to lower Rondo's overall value. Rondo's agent has expressed that Rondo wants to be a MAX player, and he obviously isn't worth Max. I'd settle for a salary from the 7-10 Mill range, but most definitely not MAX.
