What I keep reminding people of is that Rondo never wanted to be here regardless of fit. You could just tell from his body language. And the fact that Rondo chose to play like star against his former Celtics to give something to the fans is further proof. I actually think Rondo can still play...when he wants to. He just never wanted to here. Why can be argued 1000 different ways, but I don't believe it ultimately came down to how he fit in the team.

The reason he wasnt happy and the reason people didnt think he would fit were the same thing. Neither he nor ellis has the mentality nor the skill set to play off the ball and excel.
