During a mailbag published Friday morning, MLive.com's David Mayo suggested the Detroit Pistons continue to hold interest in trading for Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo.

Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge and head coach Brad Stevens have both supported Rondo at every chance, calling him a franchise cornerstone and Boston's new leader. But no matter how many times they back him publicly, rumors will persist.

Without any internal knowledge of Ainge's plans, I assume no Celtics are safe from being dealt. The current roster seems constructed almost specifically to maximize the amount of options Ainge has while moving forward, meaning trading just about anyone -- for the right price, of course -- could be in play.
