Well, maybe you guys are right, and Rondo's days as a Celtic are numbered.  On the other hand, I've been reading convincing arguments for the last five or six years at almost every deadline that Rondo is a sure fire goner.  Yet, he's still our point guard. 

I don't get the impression that Ainge or ownership are as eager to get rid of our point guard as many fans on this blog seem to be.  I think he would love nothing more than to find an agreement that keeps him as our point guard during the rebuild and beyond.

We'll see if they can make it happen.

We're just pointing out that he's probably not going to sign an extension -- the Celtics can still offer him more money than any other franchise, he just has to hit free agency first.

Despite the good arguments put forward by some of you, I'm still not convinced that he won't sign the extension this summer. 

It just seems like one of those deals that is fair for both sides.  I think Rondo may end up surprising some of you guys and taking that deal.

I don't think his agent will let him.  ;)
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

If he's willing to accept value and sign this summer, by all means resign him.

I rather doubt, though, that Ainge is going to rely - as some here seem more than ready to do - on Rondo returning the unrequited love of the fans by playing next year and then resigning anyway.

If Danny is, then I have clearly overrated his intelligence.

  Danny didn't tell you his plans himself?
