Despite the rumors that had Rajon Rondo going to New Orleans for Chris Paul, the Celtics' point guard is still on the roster and he says there are no hard feelings.
If Rondo was worried that he might have been shipped out in a trade over these last few weeks, he didn't show it on Friday.
"My heart has always been here since day one," said Rondo. "Through all the adversity, I'm still here. And happy to be here.
I don't use it as fuel. I'm pretty fueled up already."
Rondo recognizes that being involved in trade rumors, especially a trade for a player like Chris Paul, is a sign of flattery.
As of Friday, Rajon Rondo is a Boston Celtic and he's focused on a championship.
