Rondo is shooting 25% from the 3 pt line this year which is WORSE than the 26% he has shot for his career. You do have a point in the sense that he has a more consistent midrange game. He can now hit a 15 ft jump shot...sometimes. He still can't hit a wide open three.

I guess you could get something for Ray Allen's expiring contract. What though?

He's only taken 47 threes, so that percentage is pretty much meaningless, and he's 9-for-22 in the last two months from three (4-for-6 in February) after starting 3-for-25. I'd say that's considerable improvement. His midrange jumper is actually a legitimate threat now too, he hits that shot a lot more often than sometimes. Rondo's biggest problem continues to be free throws.

Rumors have linked Hinrich/Thomas, Monta Ellis and Kevin Martin to the Celts for Allen.
