Ainge:They talked to Rondo about contract extention

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Hate to be this guy...

But it could also be a move to eliminate any low ball offers for Rondo. Leaking this puts it out there that the Cs aren't desperate to move him. Place Danny in a better place if he does negotiate a trade. Similar to when Utah came out of know where to trade Deron Williams. The vultures circle when they think a play can be had at a discount.

interesting

Rajon Rondo said he is open to staying with the #celtics long term: "Always. I like to stick to the script. I don't like change much."

More Rondo: "I wouldn't mind staying here the rest of my career. I wouldn't mind extending another 10 years." #celtics

I'm awaiting whatever duplicitous/negative spin the detractors will put on this comment.

I don't think the most negative poster could put a bad spin on this, if Rondo is content at his 11 million salary than its a great insight into his attitude towards this team and his future. Makes me love the guy even more, these are the things the captain is supposed to say.

Hopefully we can somehow land a top 5 pick while keeping RR, I think he could be a huge benefit to the development of our new young core.

Declined the 2 year extension because he wants a 10 year contract. Sounds cool.
