Rondo is all ready one of the top five point guards in all the NBA. He is also a project. He hasn't reached his potential nor is he close to doing so. His assist totals are going to go up every year, his scoring will also increase as the big 3 age. His defense needs to improve in a few areas such as keeping his man infront of him, and contesting jump shots. As far as I can tell there isn't a ceiling on his potential. So with that said if danny can lay a fair number out for rondo and he agrees to it great. I hope we lock him up sooner than later. But if for some reason we can't I'm ok with it because rondo will play harder and we cAn match any other teams offer. The risk in waiting is rondos play could drive his price up and it may cause an even larger rift between rondo aNd the celtics head many danny.

That the C's should lock up Rondo now, before he inevitably takes another leap up the ladder of NBA stars. While I understand your points, I would only like to point out that none of the restricted free agents you brought up are nearly as good, or have nearly as high a ceiling, as Rondo does. Even when the economy is down, stars will be paid. I don't want to risk that there won't be a team willing to overpay Rondo next summer, especially when Boston's future is largely in his hands.
