Rockets Want Rondo; Celtics Want Parsons

Sources familiar w/Rockets thinking say HOU has absolute interest in trading for Rajon Rondo. But that alone doesn’t mean we’ll see a deal.

Close relationship between Danny Ainge and Daryl Morey means talks are always easy to fire up but Celts’ demands for Rondo are very high.

Celtics got a first for Doc Rivers and multiple firsts for Pierce/KG, as covered today on Stein Line LIve. For Rondo they’ll want even more.

Celtics, I’m told, would insist on Chandler Parsons in a theoretical Rondo deal. And Rockets, by all accounts, NOT willing to surrender CP.
