Reacting to NBA Commissioner David Stern's comments that he wants player salaries cut by one-third, Rondo said he wants to be prepared.
Rondo is the Celtics' alternate player representative. He says he's "saving a lot of money this year."

Rondo is scheduled to earn $9 million this season.
:bang


I guess this means he's only buying two Maseratis this year?

Huh? Why wouldn't you save tons of money when you're making that much? Look at Eddy Curry's story and tell me what Rondo said is crazy.

People that don't make a lot of money look at the $9 million and think he gets to keep all of that......

After taxes, he is just at $5+ million....

Well good for him. At least we hear someone who saves amidst all the NBA bankruptcy stories.

I would hope anybody making millions of dollars a year would be saving a lot.

Pretty stupid in my book, he's been in the NBA for 4 years now, he shoulda been saving for awhile. Someone with a multimillion dollar salary shouldn't be living paycheck to paycheck.

20 years? Some study said 60% of NBA vets are broke 5 years after retirement.

That is retarded (sorry). An employee should not pay for his expenses on a business trip
