Celtics Interested In Rondo For Gasol Trade?
Feb 08, 2012 10:11 AM EST


Mitch Kupchak recently talked openly about the Lakers' desire to acquire a young, talented point guard ahead of the deadline.

“Well, if there were a way for us to get a 25-year-old, All-Star, ball-handling guard we’d love to do it," said Kupchak to Mike Trudell of Lakers.com. "But that’s not likely in February. So you look at other alternatives, and see if it’s better than what you have. That’s all.”

Rajon Rondo is the player that fits that description, possibly the only one in the NBA.

Sources say the Celtics have interest in acquiring Pau Gasol for Rondo.

I think Kupchak was bitterly referencing how the Lakers got screwed out of Chris Paul, not secretly broadcasting behind the scenes talks about Rondo.

I don't see this happening straight up...maybe if LA throws in a draft pick or another player.

If I were the Celts I'd pass unless there is something going on behind the scenes we don't know about. Like a health issue or locker room issue. Rondo should be the last in that group to be traded. He's 25 and still playing well. Not easy to find a PG that good.

Doesn't make sense to me from the Celtics position.

crzymdups might be on to something.

Can't see Rondo and Kobe meshing.
