All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo says he will test free agency in 2015, but the Boston Celtics will not make trading him a priority as they get closer to the season.

Josh Smith Potential Replacement For Kevin Love?

According to The Boston Globe, the Celtics will let Rondo test the free agent market and trading the All-Star isn't a high priority for them this coming season.

"While the Celtics are trying to figure out ways to clear roster space before training camp, moving Rondo is not a high priority. First off, Rondo will be a free agent next summer and fully intends on taking the LeBron James-Carmelo Anthony tour of teams and extending the negotiation process deep into next summer. It is highly unlikely Rondo would sign an extension this season with an interested team, especially the Sacramento Kings. Second, the Celtics don't feel pressed to deal Rondo because they are still trying to determine if he's part of the future and they are intrigued to see him in action a full 18 months following ACL surgery."

Rondo will experience the free agency tour that the likes of Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony have made famous and will choose between teams that will look to offer him the best pitch. Rondo isn't expected to get the same treatment as those two players, but he could always increase his stock as the season goes on.

Kings Revisit Rajon Rondo Trade Talks

Rondo is returning from a torn ACL and is the Celtics franchise player going into the 2014-15 season. Rondo’s desire to test the waters doesn't mean Boston is completely eliminated from re-signing him, but it doesn't make its chances any better.

The Celtics finished 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 25-57 record in 2013 and then drafted Marcus Smart and James Young in the first round of the NBA Draft. Smart is seen as a potential All-Star point guard so the Celtics could have been preparing for life after Rondo for months now.
