The $100 Million extension is thrown around in the NFL but you rarely get it in the NBA.
According to NESN.COM Boston’s only legit player Rajon Rondo is expecting either a massive extension next year or he gets let go.
Rondo, who can become an unrestricted free agent at the end of next season, has taken the team’s drafting of Oklahoma State point guard Marcus Smart as writing on the wall that his days in Boston are numbered.
You’ve got Smart, the young kid, and you’ve got (James) Young, the other kid, from Kentucky, both guards. And in the NBA system right now, the way they’re being paid, you would pay both those guys probably about $4 million for one year instead of the $100 million right now that Rondo wanted to ask for.
That’s a good point. Two are better than one. Yes Rondo is good, but not that good.
It’s crazy to think that the Celtics would ditch one of the purest point guards in the league. I’d have him on my team any day of the week.
