Over the summer, a report surfaced that Rondo wanted out of Boston. Rondo and his camp have since denied the rumors and both he and the Celtics continue to say they’d like to work out a long-term deal.

Over the weekend, it was revealed that Rondo had a broken hand and speculation about why began. That’s just another reason many believe the Celtics are indeed looking to trade Rondo.

However, according to both Ben Rohrbach of WEEI and Baxter Holmes of The Boston Globe, Rondo continues to say he wants to remain in Boston.

Does Rondo want to stay in Boston?"Yes. The fans, the people make me want to stay."
