See I just don't agree with this because Rondo didn't have to be 2008 Rondo or even close to it for this to work. He didn't have to play off the ball and excel. He just didn't. Yes, it hurt the offense, but Rondo could have made it work if he wanted to. To quit on your team during the playoffs means you are extremely unhappy. I don't believe you become that unhappy by just a fit problem. Rondo could have easily showed or tried to show up Ellis with a competitive nature. There was a time where people wanted to keep Rondo over Ellis even with the offensive troubles. To quit like he did means he didn't care either way. Why? He didn't want to be a Maverick.
