A meeting between Bill Duffy, the agent for Rajon Rondo, and Celtics GM Danny Ainge apparently netting nothing but major difference in how each side perceives Rondo's worth. Duffy, according to Yahoo! Sports, wanted Rondo amongst the top 5 highest paid point guards while the Celtics didn't feel that strongly....
"We’re not going to do an extension right now,” Duffy told Yahoo!. “The conversation has been cordial. We’ve been talking the last couple of weeks. There is a difference between the perception of him in their eyes and our eyes. With that being said, the focus is on Rajon to have a fantastic season and concentrate on winning a championship.” More
This also rots. Rondo and the Celtics were apparently 10-15 million dollars apart, the years were right but the money wasn't right. I heard a rumor that 5 years, 50 million dollars were going to get the deal done, and I believe the Celtics would have done that. The Celtics offered a 5 year 45 million dollars, and Rondo wanted between 55-65 million dollars, which was different then the 5 year, 50 million dollar deal Cedric Maxwell said. The Celtics still have until Saturday to get this deal done, but I'm thinking it won't happen.
