Rondo on Celtics drafting PG: 'I don't have too many feelings involved in this business'

Rajon Rondo ain't mad. It's all in the game, more or less.

The Boston Celtics may not be openly shopping Rajon Rondo, but with just one year and $12.91 million remaining on the point guard's contract, they sure seem to be putting a contingency plan into place.

First, the Celtics drafted Marcus Smart with the No. 6 pick in the draft. Then, they re-upped Avery Bradley for four years. They've been loosely tied to Isaiah Thomas in restricted free agency, too. That's a lot of guards, and though Smart can play some shooting guard and Bradley is a more natural two, some have taken these moves to be writing on the wall.

"I don't think nothing of it," Rondo told the Boston Globe, however, and he sounds like a guy who means it:

No. That’s fine. I don’t have too many feelings involved in this business. I’ve played my heart out for the game, but business is business. I can be here today, gone tomorrow. You never know. For me to get bent out of shape, or to feel threatened by the Celtics drafting a point guard, it means nothing.

With how often his name has been in trade rumors the past few seasons, Rondo has probably built up an immunity to speculation. He also probably knows that with free agency looming in 2015, his focus needs to be on showing teams he's back to 100 percent this season, not looking over his shoulder.

As for the players - Smart and No. 17 pick James Young, Rondo thinks, "We got some good picks, some really good picks." He also drew comparisons between himself, Bradleyand Smart when it comes to demeanor and drive on the floor, and it's easy to envision the three of them creating a devastating defensive backcourt.

In the short term, anyway.
