Just found out that there is a very high probability that Rondo will announce next week his intention to enter the NBA Draft.  This is not information to mortgage the house on (as was the Mike Dunleavey scoop of a few years back), but is something that, as of today, I am confident about.  Rondo is meeting with Tubby today, which may or may not have an effect, but that is the plan as of now from his end.  If something changes, I will post, but according to the word from my dreaded "source" (and believe me, I hate that term as much as you do), there is a plan for Rondo to announce his intention to "test the waters" this May.

Rondo announcement next week?
