Team Source: Rondo Won't Be Traded
RedsArmy.com - The Voice Of Celtics Fans —
... summer.” Only reason why Ainge wouldn't discuss the rumors involving Rondo - because there's some truth to them. Ian Thomsen of Sports Illustrated appeared on Comcast last night and didn't put much stock into the Rondo or Perk rumors. Thomsen, Mike Felger and Gary Tanguay speculated that Rondo's ego might be getting too big, and the Celtics are sending him a message by floating his name around in rumors.

Morning 1, 2, 3: Did Raiders draft the next Rashaun Woods?
Kawakami —
* I’m sure most Warriors fans have seen this already, but in case you haven’t: UCLA’s Jrue Holiday told SI.com that his agent , Dan Fegan, will not be setting him up for any work-outs with the Warriors.

But this is a terrible draft. Guys are going to screw up big time." He meant his peers. "A number of my colleagues are warming up to it, and I think they're making a big mistake." ...

... Here's the scoop on Brown from Scott Howard Cooper of SI.
Brown (13.7 points, 6.1 rebounds last season) is 6-8½ in shoes, great size for a small forward, has long arms to help with defense and rebounding, great leaping ability and a first step to be feared. In a sign of a player expanding his game rather than strictly relying on athleticism, he jumped from taking only 40 three-pointers the previous two seasons and making 15 (37.5 percent) to going 39-of-90 (43.3 percent) in 2008-09. NBA teams love to see a guy trending up like that. ...
