Okay, there's a lot to respond to so I'm going to take these one at a time.
bebop, the links you're posting don't actually support your argument.
Let's start with Ray Allen. In the article
you posted, this is what he said about Rondo:
No less an authority than Ray Allen himself said he didn't leave Boston because of Rondo. And Doc Rivers backs that up:
So Ray Allen says it wasn't about his relationship with Rondo and Doc Rivers says he's the one that pushed Rondo into more of a leadership role even though he knew Ray Allen felt marginalized in the offense.
Your source for Doc Rivers leaving Boston on account of Rondo is a blogger. He doesn't even have a quote from Rivers, just a lot of locker room hearsay and speculation and because he's a blogger, nobody is going to fact check him and hold him accountable. Let's look a little deeper.
Here's what Rivers himself said at the time Rondo was traded to Dallas:
Here's more on the topic of feuds with Rick Carlisle:
Does that sound like a bitter coach who left because of a feud with a star player? It sounds to me that both Rondo and Doc Rivers could see the beginning of a long rebuild in Boston and that's why they wanted out. Rivers is in a good situation in LA and Rondo thought he was going to one in Dallas, it just didn't work out.
Or what about what Rondo has to say about Doc Rivers:
This is after Doc Rivers left Boston. No doubt it sounds like a difficult relationship. As a coach it's probably uncomfortable having a player question everything you do. The difference is, Rivers was willing to work with him and they still have a relationship because of it. Carlisle wasn't and Dallas lost their best shot at a title this year because of it.
The next thing you did was link to an article supposedly pointing out how bad of a teammate Rondo is, but the accusations this guy is making are dubious at best. He has no sources other than himself and how he perceives the relationships in the locker room. Jeff Goodman says nobody likes playing with Rondo. Good for him. Let's ask the players themselves.
Paul Pierce:

Strike one.
Kevin Garnett:

Strike two.
Avery Bradley:

Strike three. I'm pretty sure Goodman doesn't have a leg to stand on with this claim. If anything, it sounds like Rondo refused to have a relationship with the media and that's what has played into this perception that he's a locker room malcontent. Most of his ex-teammates have very positive things to say.
What about this comment from Paul Pierce:

What about Rondo coaching his friend Rudy Gay through a tough situation in Toronto last year?:

I'll address this more as I respond to Larry David's comments, but it bothers me the way that a narrative gets started in the media like "Rondo is a bad teammate" and then gets parroted around from one pseudo-news source to another so it looks like multiple sources are corroborating it but it's actually just a lot of cut and paste. It's unfair to the players. I'd rather lean on comments from the players themselves. I'm sure there's somebody somewhere who doesn't like Rondo very much, but in general it looks like he's well-liked by the players who know him the best.
