ESPN's Chad Ford has heard that Doc Rivers finds Rajon Rondo "stubborn" and "impossible to coach", and Celtics GM Danny Ainge revealed on Wednesday that Rondo was fined for being late to a home playoff game last season.
The Celtics recently included Rondo in a low-ball trade offer to the Pistons, and it looks like they're trying to unload him before he becomes a restricted free agent next summer. Ainge said bluntly, "[Rondo's] presence hurt us in winning right now because [against Orlando in the playoffs] his man went and doubled onto Ray [Allen] and Paul [Pierce] and made it difficult for us." Ainge doesn't feel Rondo deserves a max contract, and his trade value is probably at its peak, so expect his name to continue surfacing throughout the summer. Jun. 24 - 11:54 am et
