The Rajon Rondo saga took another turn as the Celtics’ All-Star has denied the reports that he has demanded a trade out of Boston and insisted that his relationship with the team is very positive.

According to the Boston Herald, Rondo and his agent, Bill Duffy, are both denying that the point guard has asked out of Boston. Alyson Furch, a spokesperson for Duffy’s office, released a statement on behalf of both Rondo and Duffy.

“Neither Bill nor Rajon know where this has come from, but it didn’t come from them,” Furch said in a text. “They want this on the record. Neither has spoken to anyone about this.”

Trade rumors started on ESPN's Around the Horn when reporter Jackie MacMullan shared that Rondo had demanded a trade from the Celtics; since then the rumor mill hasn’t stopped spinning as to where the All-Star point guard will end up.

The video of MacMullan and New York reporter Frank Isola discussing Rondo’s value and potential destinations has since been removed from YouTube. Reports of the New York Knicks, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns being interested in Rondo have since emerged, but nothing concrete has come of the rumors.

Rondo is entering the final year of his contract with the Celtics and is set to make $13 million this upcoming season. Rondo has made it clear that he will test free agency, but he did not eliminate resigning with Boston as an option.

The Celtics drafted point guard Marcus Smart in the first round of the NBA draft and he is expected to see some time at both point and shooting guard this season.
