NBA extends signing period

“RajonRumor mongers who follow such players as Rajon Rondo(notes) have been given an extended time window by the NBA to talk about whether he'll be signed to a contract extension by the Boston Celtics or not.

The deadline for contract extensions for everybody who was drafted in 2006 was supposed to be midnight tomorrow night but the league is apparently giving everybody till Monday, according to ESPN.

Apparently that's a standard thing: If the deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday, it gets moved to the next business day.

    Rondo's camp wants $12 million a year. Celtics offering $9 million a year. I think $10 million a year is good for Rondo. Rondo puts up above average all-around numbers and is a top defender at his position. He's a PG who can rebound and he gets steals. You can compare his number to some of the top PG's and he's right there with them. But can he carry a team like D.Rose did with the Bulls? Dont think so cause he couldnt score enough. Another big issue is his marketability. Does Rondo put people in the seats like D.Will, CP3, Nash, or D.Rose? Nope. People wouldnt pay to see him like they would pay to see other PG's. So for all this, $10 million a year is a good fair deal. Who's gonna give him more beside maybe the Knicks? Any other team most likely will be a losing situation. Celtics have leverage because they are a winning organization so they can play hard ball and tell Rondo to take $12mil/yr and lose or take $10mil/yr and be in the championship hunt for a least the next few years.

    Rondo is going to make Celtics sweat after Ainge disrespected him by trying to trade him in the off season. He may not resign. Celtics can trade him to Dallas for Jason Kidd and you can have 5 over the hill players on one team..

    Dish the money out Ainge. This is a treasure, keep it. And to comment number 13.. "Celtics can trade him to Dallas for Jason Kidd and you can have 5 over the hill players on one team". Bro I'll take 5 vets any day of the week. They win games, age doesn't matter. Quit hating on the Celtics. Because the only argument you have against them is they are old. But if they win games and win a championship, then who really cares?

    Looks like the Lakers need to jump into the fire and find a player or two. The Clipps gave them a game and then a walk over by Dallas. Yeah! yeah! Gasol didn't play... While other teams were making leaps and bounds in the off season the Lakers were happy to swap Artest and Ariza. What about the rest of the bench.?
