According to Celticsblog.com, Rajon Rondo is not on the trading block. Let us all collectively exhale.

Here's what was reported by Sam Amico of Pro Basketball News:

A source within the Boston Celtics organization insisted that contrary to reports, the team is not looking to trade point guard Rajon Rondo.

"Can he be frustrating at times? Absolutely. But no one is ready to give up on him," the source said.

"Whoever put the Rondo rumors out there obviously works for someone other than the Celtics."

The source added that the Celtics "are not looking to gut the team" following a 60-win season, which ended in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Orlando Magic.

Can we now please move on with this offseason? Let's just make it to free agency and sign some people, already. July 8th can't come soon enough.

Stay Tuned.
