uncomfortability of passing the torch. happens all the time in sports. last most notable example was ladanian and philip rivers. ladanian used to always look at philip like "this young, dumb mofo, fukkin up AGAIN" then he started that downside and philip was like :stopitslime:

On the low I believe this shyt started when Obama made the comment to Rondo about his shooting (Barack asked Rondo why he didnt ask Ray Allen for help with his jumper). In Shaqs book he said that comment fukked Rondo's confidence up for that whole year (10-11) which was why he wouldnt take open shots last year. That was the beginning imo.

On to the best breakdown I read on it
For all the past indignities – real or imagined – Rondo was the issue that hadn’t gone away, that would still be there come training camp. They don’t like each other, and it had become a bigger and bigger drag on Allen, sources said. Each had culpability for why things had gone awry, and yet each was better on the court because he had played with the other.
Rondo has had a polarizing impact within the Celtics' locker room, and his relationships with teammates and coaches have fluctuated over the years. Allen and Rondo never had arguments this year, never got into it. In fact, one source said: "Ray mostly ignored him." After the season, Rivers tried his best to mend the relationship between Rondo and Allen – make it manageable on some level. And yet, as one source with direct knowledge of the coach’s efforts said, the relationship was "too far gone."
Whatever the issues, everyone agreed: Rondo and Allen never brought them onto the floor. They played together, played well, but Allen had grown increasingly disillusioned about dealing with the disconnect. The friction started in the 2009-10 season, after Rondo signed his five-year, $55 million extension, sources said. It wouldn’t be long until Allen started to hear his name in trade talks, and he began to make the correlation that Rondo’s salary played a part in the Celtics looking to trim payroll – starting with Allen.
"Ray is prideful," one source said, "and he was always wondering: 'Why do I have to be that guy?' "
[Also: Kobe Bryant says Steve Nash makes Lakers a title threat]
Those were some of the conflicts that Allen had with Rondo, but the stubbornness of the point guard worked to exacerbate everything. Rondo and Allen were non-confrontational, but much of the behind-the-back sniping to teammates and those around the team took a toll. So much of it was sandbox stuff, the kind of grating, ultimately petty issues that occur in every locker room, every workplace. Rondo didn’t chase Allen out of Boston, but their relationship did become a drain in the locker room. Their cold war was something Allen discussed with associates, something that became a concern of management and the coaching staff.

Allen and Rajon Rondo didn't openly feud, but their relationship had deteriorated. (Reuters)
"When it comes to basketball, Rondo is the smartest player on the team – one of the smartest players in the league," one locker-room source said. "And Ray considers himself a smart guy. But at some point, it became hard for Ray to be corrected by a guy so much younger than him."
No one ever blamed Rondo, and no one blamed Allen for it. This happens in sports, happens everywhere. As one staff member said: "In a lot of ways, they’re polar opposites. Ray is a military child, has the ultimate respect for authority. He does everything hard every day. Rondo’s different. He’s a free spirit. He’s unbelievably bright. But when Ray is taking everything seriously, Rajon can be lackadaisical. Doc has done a tremendous job coaching him, and he's gotten better every year – but there’s still a big difference between them."
Some believe it was pure jealousy on Allen's part, too, that he had blame for the disconnect. Within the Big Three, they teased Allen for his political nature. Whereas Rondo, Pierce and Garnett would speak in brutal, honest terms, Allen was forever measured, even. He was a military child, a relentless worker, a player who found great comfort in the daily routine of his shooting and conditioning. Yet eventually Rondo’s greatness expanded the Big Three to the Big Four, and Allen’s next contracts with the Celtics were paid on a different scale than Rondo, Garnett and Pierce.

It's simple. The Big 3 was Ray KG and Pierce and they had Rondo like the lil sidekick kid that helps them on missions. Rondo got older and better at a rapid speed while Ray deteriorated rapidly and then Rondo took his spot. Rondo became the main man who ran the show, which he should because he's the point, and Ray wasnt feeling it. Rondo would tell Ray, "move back, set a screen, come around for the ball" and Ray would :rudy: him and get salt and disobey because he felt Rondo had no right to all of a sudden tryto be the leader of the team. This is my theory and to me it seems Ray Allen is just a diva, which is why he chose Miami over Boston and 6 million more dollars.

Most of what you said was pretty feasible but :usure: about this nikka detriorating rapidly? The nikka just had his best two 3pt shooting seasons of his career.

it comes down to celtics management

1. dude got rid of perk out the blue and destroyed that whole ubutu shyt
2. he's been trying to trade rondo for years
3. he's been trying to trade parts of the big 3 for years
4. he's fukkn danny ainge

Its funny how everyone seems to forget that this entire squad was just on the trade block....why would you want to play for someone who doesn't want you
