The Boston Celtics are exhibiting a renewed willingness to pursue trade packages that include point guard Rajon Rondo, according to league sources.
As much as ever in his nine seasons in Boston, the Celtics have left strong impressions with rival organizations that they’re prepared to make a deal that includes Rondo, sources said.
Boston has been engaged in discussions described as “serious” in recent days, but no trade agreement is imminent. Boston's asking price for Rondo remains "pretty high", according to one league official.
