Maybe so, but Allen has one job. Get open. I am more than sure Rondo, being a great passer, wasnt ignoring near guarantee assists.

What were these reported fights about?

Exactly. Boston's been on the verge of a complete rebuild for at least 2 years with rumors flying every offseason that major trades were going to happen, but Allen should stay loyal, because we all know how important loyalty is in professional sports.

Lulz. So he should take less money than he can make on the open market to be "loyal" to a team that is low balling him in negotiations?

funny that you say that because I believe the issue was about his ball hogging and not passing the ball enough.

Ray was getting offered more money from Boston and a no trade clause.

Ray always looks like he's smelling something funny.

Yeah he got more money from Boston I am pretty sure. If not then I could understand him leaving to a point, but not that way.

The way he chews his gum, he reminds me of a deer. He'll always be a Buck to me.

Rivers isn't Rondo's biggest fan. Evidently he doesn't take well to instruction and criticism.

Yea I hate the loyalty argument for the most part in pro sports. People for some reason demand a players loyalty when he is "good" but beg for that player to be cut/traded as soon as he starts to fall off.

For every star player that leaves their current team for what they believe are "greener pastures", there are at least 20 players that stick with a team until they are cut/traded to that fanbase's delight.
