Serious question,will Delonte be in the league in 2 more years? Since he has serious issues (I hope he does)..and btw his talent is nowhere near Rondo's..only thing Delonte does better is shoot.

you hope for someone to have issues

Delonte gets to the basket and defends better too. Rondo is quicker, but Delonte is harder to guard cause he is a lefty.


But Rondo is a way better PG, and overall player.

Bad news for the Knicks. Another player out of 2010 running for either Knicks to get (which wouldn't happen anyway) or other teams to use cap space on. Darn.

Yes, all transactions must be seen on how it affects the Knicks.

[PleezeBelieve]

Lol at people not being in shock and awe at this ludicrous extension.

Delonte gets 4 mill a year. Ariza makes 6.5 mill a year. BOTH are arguably better than Rondo...and no one is dismayed here?

11 f*cking mill a year?

Seriously?

good fro rondo

He doesn't fit our system anyway.

He's so overrated that he would've gotten more than as a free agent. The Celtics are just trying to lock him up now.

A bit more than I expected (I was thinking around $9 million per) but its still not that outlandish, and it amy even seem like a bargain towards the end when this run is over.

[bagelred]

The reason he got his money is because the Celtics are gunning for a title the next 3 years or so, and it would be impossible to get a PG of his quality in open market. So they had to pay him.

It's that simple. If you just "let him go", that could ruin Boston's championship run. If Rondo is the difference between titles or no titles, then it's worth it. If he's overpaid in 3 years, you can try to trade him then, when Allen, Pierce, and KG are old or retired.

Dude would not have gotten this deal on the open market.

[DukeDelonte13]

Celts can afford it. I don't see what the big deal is.

[2LeTTeRS]

Bill Duffy used the media to perfection. That was a great job of getting leverage to get his client the deal they wanted all along. A+ agenting right there.

[PleezeBelieve]

If Rondo is worth 11 mill just cause he fits Boston's system - - I guess Jameer Nelson is worth 10 mill a year playing in the Magic's system.

[B-Diddy=2Easy]

Terrible. Rondo isn't worth 11 mill a year. CP3 said it best.. Rondo is fortunate to be playing with the big 3.
