Five Questions
1. Where does Rajon Rondo stand?
Rajon Rondo has quickly become one air max shoes of the top point guards in the NBA and both sides of this contract extension negotiation know it. He wants either max money or close to max money and during all of this process, he wants to feel as much respect as KG, Pierce, and Ray get. They weren’t the only ones on the court when the Celtics won banner number 17 and he wants to get something better than the treatment Tony Parker got when he was the starting point guard of the world champion Spurs at age 19 and his team kicked around the idea of acquiring Jason Kidd. But here’s the problem with a young player like Rondo – Danny Ainge is negotiating with him on this potential extension and it’s his job to keep the price as low as possible.
There was plenty of controversy this summer when Ainge was “shopping Rondo around.” Obviously, Rondo felt disrespected because he was coming off a ridiculous post-season performance of nearly averaging a triple double. But how far is he willing to take this feeling of being wholesale jordans slighted? While we’ll never know if Rondo would become this good without the veteran leadership of the three HOFers, we do that he is actually this good now and will want to be compensated fairly for it. Ultimately, Danny Ainge will probably pull off this situation. He can’t give Rondo a max contract because he’s not a max player. But he can’t get away with anything under eight figures per season. He’ll allow the market to be set in restricted free agency, bump up that value a little, and retain Rondo. Hopefully for Celtics fans, Rajon will be able to put the business side behind him and aim for banner number 18.
2. Is Kevin Garnett healthy?
We honestly have no way of knowing if he is healthy or not. One day, he’s limping all over the practice court. The next day, he’s cramming unbelievable alley-oops. Then he’s jordan shoes suffering from shin splints and completely under conditioned. And after that, he’s playing well in preseason games and looking like he’s ready for the 82-game campaign. So what do we make out of his knee injury? Is it healed? Has he overcompensated for his injured knee and put the rest of his lower extremities at risk of suffering from injury?
