    Sam Cassell, the newest member of the Celtics, claims that he's not in town to steal Rajon Rondo's starting spot, according to the Boston Globe.

    "I'm not here to challenge for his job," Cassell said. "I'm his backup. I want to make that clear, first and foremost. He is the starting point guard for the Celtics. I may be the calmest backup he ever had in his career."

    "Because I don't want his job. I am here to make his job easier. And that's what I told him: 'I'm going to push you, I'm going to prepare you for how it's going to be for the postseason.' But so far, so good. He's ready," he added.</div>
