It's a pretty big deal, 50 some million for 5 years. I think they could have signed him a little cheaper had they waited.

I think Rondo is the future though. Garnet/Pierce/Allen probably only have 1-2 maybe 3 years of top notch performance left in them.
I am wondering if they are going to take the same approach as Spurs with keeping a top notch point and look toward the future. I think Rondo is pretty amazing from here. During that fantastic series against the Bulls I felt he was the catalyst for the win.
I hear what your saying about the fact it does seem like they did not need to waste the money just yet.
Anyhow.
Celts are still undefeated right?
