Danny Ainge is expecting to see an improved Rajon Rondo (knee surgery) when he returns next season.
I think Rondo is a smart guy, and he got to see the strengths and weaknesses of our team and the players," said Ainge. "I think he actually started to see it even before he was out, but when you’re out, you can see things in your team and your teammates that maybe you didn’t see before." Ainge also said that Rondo "doesn't listen to everything you say, but he's got his own ideas of what he can do to get better, as well." Ainge concluded with "Listen, I think Rajon has matured every year. He has gotten better." Rondo wants to return faster than Adrian Peterson, but that seems like a lofty goal. There is no firm timetable for his return. Jun 12 - 9:00 AM

Rajon Rondo could be dangled in trade talks "in case a deal makes sense," according to the Boston Herald.

We've heard Rondo could be traded in the "right deal" for a while now, but Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook or someone of that nature is not walking through the door. The C's will only move Rondo if it's a trade that unquestionably makes the team better, and it's not expected that scenario will be available to Boston. The Boston Herald writes this "nearly annual look into Rondo's trade value has to eventually reach a limit," but we wouldn't expect it to be during the offseason. The Celtics don't even have a true backup in place at point guard.

Danny Ainge reiterated that Rajon Rondo (torn ACL) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp next season.

Rondo underwent surgery in mid-February, so if he's able to be ready at the start of training camp, it will be a pretty speedy recovery for the Celtics starting point guard. Rondo recently said he's still not walking or jumping in his rehab yet, so it sounds like the bulk of the work to be done in his rehab will be done during the summer months. We'll get multiple updates on his progress between now and then, but so far, so good.

Rajon Rondo (torn ACL) said he's still not walking or jumping in his rehab yet.

"I can’t jump, I can’t walk, so right now I don’t know if I’m on schedule," said Rondo. "I don’t know where I am, because this is the first time I’ve had ACL surgery." Rondo is expected to be ready for training camp next season, but this summer will be critical in achieving that goal.

Rajon Rondo said he didn't hear a "pop" when he tore his ACL and thought he could play through the injury this season.

Rondo said he felt something wasn't right in the knee during his pregame ritual and then went to the hospital to get tests. Incredibly, Rondo said he first heard news of his ACL tear on the radio. "I was like, 'We just got the results, there's no way possible,' " Rondo told ESPN of hearing the reports of the injury on the way back from the hospital. Rondo said he's undergoing an "intense" rehab process and is basically re-learning how to use his leg. He's expected to be ready for training camp next season.

Rajon Rondo (torn ACL) took part in warmups with the Celtics on Wednesday wearing a brace on his right knee.

Rondo underwent surgery on the knee in mid-February. The fact that he was on the court shooting free throws is definitely a good sign but it's far too early to determine anything about where Rondo is in his rehab. The Celtics expect him to be ready for training camp this season.

Celtics GM Danny Ainge sees Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley as the backcourt of his future.

There's been some chatter that Bradley is better as the point guard, not playing off the ball as he does when Rondo is healthy. Ainge isn't buying that. "I think that combination last year proved to be spectacular, they just didn't get a chance to get together much this year, so it's a little bit unfair," Ainge said. ESPN Boston points out that when Rondo and Bradley were on the floor at the same time last year, the Celtics had a plus 14.7 point differential.

Rajon Rondo has been rehabbing his surgically-repaired knee twice per day and should return to Boston in a couple of weeks.

This is nothing more than an update on Rondo, who is out for the season. The team expects him to be ready for the start of training camp next season.

Rajon Rondo's agent Billy Duffy has been assured by Danny Ainge that Rajon Rondo will not be traded before Thursday's deadline.

Well, that was fun while it lasted. While deals can still happen after a player has been assured he won't be moved, it would be a monumental surprise to see Rondo moved. It's also probable teams aren't interested in giving up a ton of value for Rondo, who won't contribute this season.

Sources told ESPN's Chris Broussard that the Celtics would be "willing to trade" Rajon Rondo in the "right deal."

We can't imagine the Celtics getting the "right deal" with Rondo out for the season with a torn ACL, and we're not expecting Danny Ainge to sell on Rondo's stock when it's at a low point.

Rajon Rondo underwent successful ACL surgery on Tuesday.

Rondo's surgery was performed by Dr. James Andrews in Florida, and the initial expectation is that Rondo will be ready to play by training camp. There is a long road between now and training camp, so that timetable is anything but certain to hold true.

Rajon Rondo, who is set to undergo ACL surgery next week, is only expected to be out for six months and could be ready for the start of the 2013-14 season.

Rondo has a partial tear of his ACL rather than a full tear, which is great news for his short and long-term outlook. "It's still too early to tell for sure," his agent Bill Duffy told CSNNE.com. "But we are very optimistic about his return now that we know his injury is only a partial tear and not a full tear."

Rajon Rondo will get a second opinion on his right knee before undergoing ACL surgery.

The esteemed Dr. James Andrews is the favorite to give a second opinion, but it's possible another doctor is called. A second opinion isn't expected for "at least" four or five days with the amount of swelling still in Rondo's knee, and Rondo is also expected to meet with at least a couple of other athletes who have torn their ACL's previously.

Celtics GM Danny Ainge expects Rajon Rondo (ACL surgery) to return in time for training camp in October.

"Rajon will get surgery in 10 to 14 days, when the swelling is right, and we anticipate that he'll back and as good as ever in training camp," Ainge said. How Ainge could possibly establish a timetable before Rondo's surgery is rather baffling, and while Ainge can say he expects Rondo to be ready for training camp, the reality is he has to have an incredible recovery in order for that to happen.

Rajon Rondo will have ACL surgery in 10-14 days, sources told Sports Illustrated.

The doctors want the swelling in Rondo's knee to go down before the operation, a standard move for operations of this nature. It's too early to speculate on Rondo's timetable to return, but he'll face a serious challenge to be ready for opening night of the 2013-14 season.
