Rondo may end up being our best signing.

I think Gallo is gonna be a huge difference maker for us as long he's doesn't get hurt.

Well thats because he won't be getting minutes in the actual season.

You want to make an avatar bet on that? Seeing as you don't have one, there's nothing to lose.

The Rondo interview was really really good. It made me truly appreciate the signing and his mentality.

Some key statements

Whats like going from a championship to a team that missed the playoffs 3 straight years? 
"I mean, When I first went to LA they missed the playoffs 7 years in a row so it's not new for me, Im here to build this thing back up and be apart of the upswing for the franchise"

What did you learn from your time in LA? "Nothing"

Did they tell you about what your role will be? "Not really but Ive been doing this for a while, I know Im not here to start or play 30 mins a night. That's not what they brought me here for. Im going to come off the bench, help be a mentor to the young guys and an extension of the coach on the floor off the bench"

Do you know anything about the city?

"Y'all already know my brother, Josh Smith, lives here. I've been staying with him every night until I find my own place. Atlanta is a great city. I remember during the 08 playoffs being here and the energy in the city, the fans. I want to bring that back."

Good Stuff. Rondo is very self aware and yet optimistic about this team too. I expect good things this year

No because I see him rising up and becoming an integral part of our playoff run

Sometimes people just be sayin shish.  At least when I do it, I'm semi-entertaining.

I'm sure @bleachkit would be more than happy to do a bet based solely on the regular season.

His max is 25% of the $109 cap, tops out starting at $27 mil.

I don't think he gets the Rookie designation where he can get up to 30%.

IMHO his 4 year extension will look like this:

Year	salary
1	25000000
2	27000000
3	29160000
4	31492800
Total	112652800

Josh hasn't been offered a coaching job by anyone?

For what? He wasn’t the most cerebral player by any means. All athleticism and idiocy
