Ainge wouldn't dare. He already disgraced himself with the Perkins Fiasco.
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.
The Lakers attempting to move Gasol in a deal in December for Chris Paul.

If true, Ainge is an idiot.
Ainge wouldn't dare. He already disgraced himself with the Perkins Fiasco.
Bull , Celts laugh in the Lakers face ...
I do wonder why so many Rondo rumors pop up every year though. He cant shoot but the kid can play ...
KG would be EXACTLY what Gasol needs. He would toghen his ass up quick ...would never happen Lakers and Celts are REAL rivals not media ones. They have traded before ...but usually when they both suck ...OK maybe it does happen.
Even if false, Ainge has already shown himself to be an idiot numerous times.
I don't know why people are acting like the Lakers would be the clear cut winners in this trade, maybe the age factor, but for now and the immediate future this looks like a pretty even trade, in fact looking at the talent pool in both positions I would rather have Gasol than Rondo.
Pau is a better player and a big ...not saying they "win" but Rondo means more to them (no offense to Pau who helped bring 2 les) the Pau means to us.
And maybe Pau means more to them that what Rondo currently means to them.
celtics should focus on rebuilding and that means keeping rondo. they must be delusional if they thing they can win with pau gasol. rondo and pierce turning back the clock are the only things keeping the celtics afloat.
I call BS
Why would the Lakers do that?
They have an edge in the paint with their twin towers, and Rondo can't shoot (even though he has improved in that area)
Yes, he s on Fisher, but still ...
lakerfan
First: why would the Celts ever trade away their best player.
Second: Why in the would it ever be to the LAKERS?
I'm just waiting for the next Boston headline:
"Ainge floats Rondo trade offer for sesame seed bagel with cream cheese"
with great quotes like
"Look, if you can make a trade for a bagel, and not just a bagel but a bagel with some schmear on it, and you're a hungry team, or a hungry person for that matter because you missed breakfast, well, you can't pass up a chance to look at that deal."

Agree
But they trade Odom for nothing..they could do it again
Anyway they are done. Same Celtics.
I remembering hearing the same thing after the '08 Finals, when it was still 4-3 Duncan.
tee, hee.
Hey, you got your purple and bold.
What is Rondo going to do for this team? He's an upgrade over Fisher for sure but he's not worth losing Gasol, especially when Kobe dominates the ball and Rondo can't shoot for , which is one of the Lakeshow's problems isn't it?
LOL good, Lngrr ...
Like I said, I just dont get all the rondo trade rumors ...Doc clearing the way for his son?
Rondo did the upside down headband because the logo is Jerry West, a Laker. Rondo would never cooperate in LAL, any LAL fan would be against a trade like that for that fact alone
You all cheered for Malone's ass after he was afraid of getting buttsexed by Magic on the floor, so you'll cheer for Rondo too.
Nope I never really cheered for Rodman or Malone. I admit I did appreciate his passing skills and BBall IQ, but I dont like every player that dons a Laker uniform. At the end I dint care much for Shaq either, not that I took his side in the Kobe/shaq thing I just hated the fact he allowed himself to get fat ...
