One day closer to the October 31st deadline, and still no ground gained on the Rondo extension: (http://www.weei.com/sports/boston/this-just-in/214748/rondo-celtics-talk-monday-night)A source close to the situation has told Jeff Goodman of WEEI.com and FoxSports.com that the Celtics offered point guard Rajon Rondo a contract extension worth five years and $45 million, with Rondo's representatives asking for between $55 million and $60 million over the same number of years. The Celtics presented their offer to Rondo's reps in a meeting, Monday night. Rondo is eligible to become a restricted free agent at the end of the 2009-10 season. All I can say is that I hope this gets done soon. With so many teams clearing cap space for next summer, there will be more than a few teams with the cash to pony up for R2D2 next off-season.
