I have no idea what's gonna happen with Rondo this summer... but I'm sure the Lakers (and/or Knicks) will throw max money at him. If we try to match that, and since we'll be able to give him 5 yrs as opposed to 4 yrs, we'll be paying him $24million in 2020 (according to a link I clicked in a post above). That's terrifying. People think Amare getting $23mill this season from the Knicks is bad... if we give Rondo that 5 yr max, and if his play doesn't improve from what we've seen this season (or God forbid it gets worse), that could go down as one of the worst contracts in NBA history.
