Highlight: Rondo Leads The Break

I love this decision-making from Rajon Rondo. While leading the break, you can see him eyeballing Ray Allen, who runs the wing and spots up on the arc. The Sixers have a 1-2 disadvantage but are mostly concerned about Allen’s three balls, which allows Mickael Pietrus to make an unmolested baseline cut behind the defense. [...]

Do the Celtics Really Have Rajon Rondo By the You-Know-Whats?

There’s been a lot of worry about how much money Rajon Rondo might command on the open market next season, including in these parts. But we often overlook the fact that Rondo is not really going to be on the really, really open market, since he’ll be a restricted free agent. And John Hollinger makes an interesting point: Considering what’s going on with this year’s class of restricted FAs, will Rondo be in a strong bargaining position? 

Money excerpt: In turn, this has to be chilling news if you’re Rajon RondoLuis ScolaRudy GayLaMarcus AldridgeAndrea BargnaniRonnie Brewer or Foye, all of whom will be restricted free agents next summer if they don’t sign extensions by opening day. (Brandon Roy, who is all but certain to get a maximum extension, needn’t worry.) The restricted free agents in the class of ’09 couldn’t get a sniff of big money even in a very underwhelming free-agent market; what can they possibly expect a year from now when the likes of LeBron JamesDwyane WadeChris BoshDirk Nowitzki and Amare Stoudemire could be available unrestricted?
