Rajon Rondo wants out?

Longtime Celtics beat writer and Hall of Famer Jackie MacMullan left no doubt that Rajon Rondo's days as a Celtic are numbered, going so far as to say that he wants to leave.

"It will happen because he's told them, he wants out," MacMullan says. "No one believes me, but that's the truth."

Considering the Celtics are in rebuilding mode and that Rondo is entering what should be his peak years as a player, the idea of not playing for an elite title-contender isn't appealing.
