Celtics pulled off a bargain with Rondo. They used PR and media to poke holes at his game or his ethic, to help at the negotiating table, all the while knowing they would have paid anything to keep him.

And he replied, 'and I'm the best decision this organization has ever made.' I was stunned. The amazing thing is he didn't say it to be arrogant...he was sincere. I went home and told everyone about it." - Bob Kraft

I don't think so mav ... desperate teams might have paid more for him but he's not the kind of guard who can carry a team. He knows it and the Celtics know it. He needs to be on a team with at least 2 stars ... even rondo and 1 star would not cut it. He got fair market value IMO.

Look around at how many players have gotten max contract. Rondo is better than most of them. The Celtics got a bargain in keeping Rondo here for 5 years and not at max contract.

He could improve his jump shot, but he doesn't need to 'be on a team with at least 2 stars'. Last year with Garnett out and Ray Allen's corpse out there, Rondo was the best player on the team during the playoffs.
