Yes but he's still making $2M more per year than Rondo through this contract and I don't even consider him on Rondo's level. Love is making about $2.7M more per year which I believe is a max extension.
I think you're significantly underrating Aldridge. This season sucked but he's a baller.
Also, KYLE MOTHALOVING LOWERYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Absent a freak stomach virus that sidelined him a lot of the season, he was the leader of a team that looked like it was a playoff lock (until he went down), putting in 14 pts, 6.6 assists, 4.5 boards, 41% shooting (not great), 37.4% 3pt shooting (decent), 4.2 FTA's per game (at 86% shooting), and all in just 32 minutes.
Couple that with the fact that he's a all-nba level talent defensively and he is locked up for the next 3 years at like 17 million total or something (or right around 6 million per).
Kyle Lowry.
