By next I mean this one, I'm still in off-season mode.
I thought it was 11M per year...So it starts at 9 and goes up? And how the will he make 2M next year?

He's a good player but he's overpaid for sure.
Did anyone mention that this may be a way to vet Rondo to play well this yeR without worrying about forcing shots to get a good deal on the open
market? It wouldn't surprise me if they overpaid with the knowledge that their window is closing and they need Rondo at the top of his game.
It doesn't really matter whether you think Rondo just got overpaid. Fact of the matter is, if you want him happy this season and playing hard, you have to give him a contract. They want to contend for a le again, so they need this. Seems like a fair contract (by current NBA economics) to me.
The only X-factor as I see it is that the collective bargaining agreement may go down in 2011 after the impending negotiation/strike. That could leave teams regretting big contract signings made around this time.
That using Parker's contract as a gauge as to whether or not Rondo is overpaid is a flawed argument. By those standards almost every player making between 10-12 million is overpaid.
Allanon, did the Lakers winning the championship make you this stupid? This is an excellent deal.
$55 million for a guy that can't shoot? What happens when he doesn't play with 3 All-Stars? Would another team be dumb enough to throw $50 million next summer? Any team with Rondo as one of it's top 2 players will fail.
Well when one of them went down with an injury last year his numbers went up so......
It may have made me stupid but I've always known you were stupid.
Yes. Overpaying will be happening a lot after teams realise that the top 2010 free agents are gone. If you are going to give Bargnani 50 million, then giving 55 million to Rajon Rondo is justified.
I take my words back. You are just ing insane. Take your meds and go sleep.
Haha, and you're a ing idiot. What else is new?
You getting a mental illness is something very new. Same goes for your mom.Haha, and you're a ing idiot. What else is new?
Hahah, my mom?
You're right though, your mom is old news to me. A little worn out and dirty but I like it like that.
I don't think he will ever deserve that kind of money, but props to him for getting the max he could, he's surfing on the hype and not the first one to do so. He's not blatantly overpaid like quite a few players in this league (I think Jerome James is still making $5m this year because of a double-double he had in the playoffs 5 years ago).
And comparing a contract to Parker's is unfair, especially since Parker is at the tail end of his current contract.
Rondo is probably a $9m/year guy, paying him $11m to ensure he will play hard in the twilight of Garnett's career isn't that dumb, and they will ship his ass as soon as Boston's Big 3 goes into retirement, that's for sure. You can always count on the Grizz, Bucks, Kings or Knicks to help out in this case.
I dont know how I feel about this. I'm holding my judgement.
It is certainly an excellent deal for Rondo, his family, and his agent.
Like I said, if Bargnani can get 50 million for playing well for half a season, Rondo should get 55 million for being a good defender and excellent playmaker at the PG spot for the past two seasons. The last guy to average a triple double in a playoff series was Jason Kidd, no one came close to that except for Rondo. Besides, he has made things very easy for the "Big Three" of the Celtics, if you consider Ray Allen still part of it. Otherwsie, it would be safe to assume that Rondo is now part of that big three.
That's your opinion, I disagree. Never really understood the point of comparing contracts like that. So some other team overpaid some other player. Boston overpaid to keep the guy happy. They made a judgment. Good for them.
We'll never know Rondo's market value because he won't hit the market. You think Boston got an excellent deal. I think they overpaid. Just as Toronto overpaid Bargnani and Portland overpaid Aldridge.
Lets do it this way, we all know Parker's contract. So I won't list the average. Oh ya, players do get paid depending on their age and potential, this year, Rondo is 23 and improving.
1. Gilbert Arenas - $19m
2. Chris Paul - $15.6m
3. Deron Williams - $15.6m
4. Baron Davis - $13.5m
5. Chauncey Billups - $13m
6. Steve Nash - $11m
7. Rajon Rondo - $11m
8. Monta Ellis $11m
9. Jose Calderon - $9.6m
10. Kirk Hinrich - $9m
11. Devin Harris - $8.8m
12. Mo Williams - $8.8m
13. Jason Kidd - $8.5m
14. TJ Ford - $8,5m
15. Jameer Nelson - $7m
16. Beno Udrih - $7m
17. Andre Miller - $6.5m
18. Mike Bibby - $6m
19. Chris Duhon - $6m
20. Derek Fisher - $5m
I got this from a poster in RealGM. Tell me who is a better player than Rondo is this list.
It doesn't matter.
Every player's market value is set by the conditions that exist when he becomes a FA. The cir stances that existed when each of those players hit free agency will not exist in the summer of 2010. Furthermore, Boston would have been able to match any offer that Rondo received next summer.
The real question to ask is:
Which team with enough projected cap space in the summer of 2010 would be likely to sign Rondo to an offer sheet well in excess of 5/55?
Alot of the young players are gettin paid around 10m anyway.....you dont see max type players no more...
Well, players of the caliber of Duncan or Shaq aren't getting drafted every year, that's for sure. But when you see the money guys like Paul or D-Will make, they are doing good.
