KG On Track For Training Camp

he’s the season…KG=Healthy=#18…plain and simple….2 things kill the Lakers..size up front & speed/quickness at the point..we got both with KG

Obviously KG will heal very well but Rondo’s contract still being talked about? Are you kidding me? EXTENSION HIM NOW! LOL

I say don’t extend Rondo’s contract. If I understand correctly, a restricted free agent means Danny can counter any offer received. Like Glen Davis, the Celts should see what the market will bear. how the economy is, and how good a season Rondo has.

i’d pay the extra bucks it takes to get rondo now. there’s all kinds of risks involved but let the guy know we want him and reward him.

Optimistic? sorry but theres no hip hip hoorays from me
they originally told us to 2-3 weeks for this injury, and kept telling us he would be back in the season and for the playoffs…well he wasnt, and hes still not cleared for full court scrimmage
Im suppose to be optimistic? well im not…sorrryyy….
as for other posters being worried about rondo…..nahhh not at all, him not being signed long term is motivation to be better and get bettter, we have him this season regardless, no worries there

…clearly fell short of saying, “KG is back!!”

I was hoping for more.

you do it without hesitation. Maxwell said that he spoke to Rondo and Rondo himself said 10 million per for 5 years would get it done.

I’ll say what I have been saying since January of his rookie year… Rondo will be an MVP of this league.

A stretch? If the C’s made it to the finals and LeBron did not, Rondo would have been a top candidate for Playoffs MVP. It’s not a stretch. He is a singular talent, and he has held back and deferred to the big 3. As they age he will continue to assert himself as you saw in the Chicago series.

Put another way, I would leave my wife for Rajon Rondo.

I say let rondo work hi taai off this year to get more $$$ next year. He’ll be worth the money next year, and we’ll get crazy production from him this year. As for kg, he should be fine now that the bone spur is gone. Bring on banner 18!

For Celtics fans post 2010 you should be worried about RONDO!

This guy almost averaged a triple double in the playoffs, if it carries over to this season, he’ll have CP3 value starting somewhere around 13-14M per, forcing BOS to either pay him max dollars or let him go somewhere that will. And the timing couldn’t be better for Rondo the summer of 2010, think of all the teams with cap space that could offer a huge contract. LAC, NYK, MIA, OKC, MEM, among others. Not likely Rondo would end up in any of these locations, but it forces BOS hand to pay another player max dollars, further limiting other roster moves with a shrinking cap. BOS may be faced with the dilemma of choosing between Rondo and Ray Ray, unless Ray would be willing to take a significant pay cut. (like AI to MEM)

If Ainge is smart he extends Rondo NOW for 10M. If Rondo really becomes as uncoachable as he’s been rumored to be, BOS simply trades him, his contract would look like a bargain given his skill set.

Everything Danny said about Rondo was told to him by the university of Kentucky before the Celtics drafted him. We have to sign him now or be qute and cheap and pay more or be left with nothing.
