Despite the fact that the Detroit Pistons have recently traded for point guard Brandon Jennings, reports are that the team still hasn't cooled on Boston Celtics star Rajon Rondo.
From Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe:
Just because the Pistons acquired Brandon Jennings in a sign-and-trade deal with the Bucks doesn’t mean they’ve lost interest in Rajon Rondo. In fact, they could eventually use Jennings as a trade chip and seek to acquire Rondo. There are going to be several interested parties in Rondo, and that number could increase when he shows he’s fully recovered from anterior cruciate ligament surgery.
It appears that Joe Dumars is happy with the acquisition of Jennings, but if he can find a way to pry Rondo out of Boston he'll do it in a heartbeat.
The only way this happens is if Rondo gets so disenchanted with the losing in Boston that he becomes a force so detrimental to the team that he has to be traded. Also, Jennings would have to be the same player he was in Milwaukee, clash with head coach Maurice Cheeks and ruin the Pistons' chances at a playoff spot.
I don't know if it'll happen, but I'm sure Dumars has Danny Ainge on speed dial if a deal is to be made.
