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. [...]

(Video) Rajon Rondo Continues To Dominate In Postgame Interview

Rajon Rondo is a tremendous player, but he tends to have a little bit of an issue scoring the ball late in games. I won’t go as far as saying he is scared, but he does pass up shots and defer to teammates in crunch-time….well a lot. Last night though may have been his coming [...]

C’s Extend Qualifying Offer To Green, Exercise Bradley Option

On this final grim day before the lockout, the Celtics extended the qualifying offer to Jeff Green (for $5.9M). As a result, Green becomes a restricted free agent this offseason and can solicit offers from other teams. The Celtics will have ten days to match any offer Green receives (although this time period could be shortened in the next CBA).

For the Celtics, Green’s return is no sure thing. Should he receive a multi-year offer at unfavorable money from another team, Boston will have to balance the value of his services and future trade value against maintaining cap flexibility in 2012-13. It’s likely Danny Ainge would prefer Green return for a single year at the QO and that may also suit Green, who, with a strong season, could pump up his value heading into unrestricted free agency in 2012. The other option — if it still exists in the new CBA, no sure thing — is a sign and trade.

Additionally, the C’s exercised their 2012-13 option on Avery Bradley. Bradley becomes Boston’s third player under contract for the 2012-13 season, joining Paul Pierce ($16.8M), and Rajon Rondo ($11M). 2011 draft picks JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore are ineligible to be signed until a new CBA is in place.
