Looks like the turmoil between star point guard Rajon Rondo and head coach Rick Carlisle has regained focus.
Prior to their game against Oklahoma City, Rajon made it clear to coach Carlisle that he wanted to call at least 90% of the plays. He cited that being the playmaker and floor general is what makes him strive his best, and what would ultimately help maximize the trade that Dallas made earlier with Boston. For those that are unaware, Dallas gave away some promising prospects, along with some valuable draft picks for the former defensive guru. Carlisle has strongly maintained that he doesn't want anyone except himself calling the plays.
Earlier in the week there were rumors arousing that Rick Carlisle simply did not believe that Rajon had the same tools, or even the same basketball mind compared to Jason Kidd. For those that are unaware, Rick and Jason had similar beef before Kidd ultimately won Carlisle over with his basketball IQ. In case people haven't realized yet, this is an april fools joke. Carlisle has been reportedly so upset with the way Rondo has been acting at practice, that he has talked to the front office, including Mark Cuban, to attempt to resolve these issues.
Rondo is a known hot head in the league, having told off reporters and his coaches multiple times. At this point it's not a matter for Dallas whether or not they will make the playoffs, and it's becoming a even bigger question whether or not the bigger focus is this post-season, or just attempting to survive this season to fix the roster that seems to be a bit broken after the trade.
Things are not looking up for Dallas. Rondo will almost certainly not have the same trade value that he did earlier this year, and Rondo has reportedly made it clear that he won't be back next year. This is interesting considering there are multiple teams that have cited his interest including Houston, New York and Los Angelos, the former two contemplating max contracts. With Dirk aging, Tyson's injury issues this year, and Monta reportedly wanting the max, Dallas future is unclear as ever, and it makes you wonder if they will be starting their rebuild sooner than expected.

you Rondo. Carlisle is the coach. Not you.
Please go to the Lakers. Please.
It's wierd though. The article made be fake but most of it its true to a point. Rowanda is really not fitting well at Dallas.
The Knicks are definitely dumb enough to try and get him.
I'm begging too
noPERIOD.
All jokes aside..he would be doing the Mavs a favour.. Look at these numbers for the Mavs starting lineup since Rnd
Rondo-Ellis-Parsons-Dirk-Chandler
Mins: 455
Off Rtg: 103.0
Def Rtg: 106.7
Net Rtg: -3.7
You switch Rondo with Nelson..
Nelson-Ellis-Parsons-Dirk-Chandler
Mins: 254
Off Rtg: 116.4
Def Rtg: 103.6
Net Rtg: 12.9
Are the Mavs better off just cutting this cancer now and hoping they can regain some of the old form in time for the playoffs? What are they not seeing?
Rondo to the Lakers would be one of the funniest signings in sports history, tbh..it would be the final chapter of their destruction..
The Ego of Mark Cuban.
Although the numbers look bad, check the schedules. Mavs played a ing easy one with Nelson, even Felton would have looked good. Rondo gives/gave the Mavs a shot at "more" than just an exciting team. I will wait until the Playoffs to say if it worked or not (or maybe i'm just still hoping...)All jokes aside..he would be doing the Mavs a favour..
