That contract would be a bargain
Agreed, Rondo might take it. I'm not sure his agent would though!
He sure didn't like some of what Danny was giving him.

Was this before or after Danny bent him over on the radio?   ;)

haha well, I think he's said this before on weei. I saw this on the realgm boards 2 weeks ago:

For what it is worth Maxwell was on the radio today while they continued to discuss the Allen/Rondo for Amare/Barobosa and this has legs for a reason.

Maxwell said that he has talked to Rondo about money and his expectations and Max asked him if Ainge offered you 10 mil a year and Rondo immediately interrupted and said "where is the pen?" His salary expectations are not as out of whack as some on this board have for him.

I'll draft the papers up right now if that's the case.

Maybe this whole thing was to lower Rondo's self esteem to sign a proper deal.

Yeah i have heard this from Max before. Unfortunately, players get way more than they would settle for because of their agents. Its kind of surprising that Rondo would even discuss a number to a member of the media.

That's a great contract for both parties. I would love to see Rondo sign for that--its a lot of money, but not an overpay like Rashard Lewis' contract.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

I think it'd be overpaying a little, but somebody is gonna overpay him a lot if he goes on the market next summer. I'd do it.
Go Celtics.

Well, I'll be glad to provide the pen.


EDIT: Just noticed this was my 2500th post. I like that it was made to sign my favorite Celtic. Do I get a silver coin or something for 2500? ;)

Remember that verbal scuffle between Rondo and Max that turned out to just be about a card game? I guess I can imagine secrets coming out over the poker table :P

  Thank god Danny hasn't been able to unload Rondo because of those crazy contract demands I keep reading about...

unfortunately, what Rondo actually wants in contract extension is kind of irrelevant at this point. this "Rondo wants an unreasonable contract" notion has taken on a life of its own.

and putting out the fires is a lot tougher than starting them.

anyway, 10-11 mil per is an extremely reasonable contract for him. I say lock him up if that's what he's looking for...
