Danny Ainge has dismissed suggestions that he has spoken to teams about trading Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo.
Despite the 27-year-old being repeatedly linked with a move away from the team in recent months, the Celtics have not yet confirmed that they would be willing to allow Rondo to leave.
Recent reports have claimed that Ainge has been contacted about Rondo's availability, but Celtics' president of basketball operations rejects those claims.
"Rondo is coming off an injury and I think people know how much we love Rondo, so I don't expect anybody to inquire, quite honestly," Ainge told the Boston Globe.
"People know that Rondo is a big part of our future and that we're not going to trade him."
Rondo has been on the sidelines since January due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
