Rondo and Rivers nearly came to blows

One piece of information that has not come out during the alive/dead/alive/dead Celtics-Clippers trade talks is Rivers' motivation in wanting to leave the Celtics. It isn't just that he doesn't want to be a part of a rebuilding situation; it is because he has an intense dislike for point guard Rajon Rondo. A source tells Chris Sheridan of SheridanHoops.com that Rondo droopped an F-bomb on Rivers in the locker room, and Rivers went after Rondo and tried to fight him before the fracas was broken up. That piece of news is revealed in this interview with Bill Lekas of SiriusMadDog Radio.
