In today's look into Celtics rumors and news, Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo has huge aspirations for the team's upcoming foray into the free agent market.
Speaking with ESPN's Numbers Never Lie, Rondo positioned the Celtics as contenders for the services of New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony - while conceding that the Chicago Bulls may have the best chance to land the perennial All-Star:
“You never know what Danny [Ainge] is capable of doing,” Rondo said, via Jesse Blancarte of Basketball Insiders. “I can’t tell you too much. We want to be contenders as well next year. We don’t plan on being down for too long. I think Danny has a lot of wiggle room with what he’s been able to do the past couple of years in the draft. So I’m looking forward to what’s going to happen. Hopefully [Carmelo Anthony] doesn’t go to Chicago.”
“I think after we try to get ‘Melo and add an additional piece, then who knows? The sky’s the limit,” Rondo added. “I play to try to win a championship every year. With ‘Melo, I think it’s very possible.”
