Big Al Jefferson is up for a contract extension, and so far it hasn't happened yet. I believe Minnesota has until Oct. 31st to get a deal done, so there's roughly 15 days left.
Its my biggest hope that Big Al truly wants to come back home to Boston, and doesn't want to re-up with Minny so that next summer he can suit up in a Celtics uni again.
Anyways, we'll be monitoring the contract negotiations to see what happens.

The poor guy so wants to be back in Boston--his heart is practically crying to be in Waltham's practice facility again with his Celtics family. I think if he knew that Ainge would somehow make the necessary room to bring him back, he'd avoid signing a contract with Minny.

But to make room for Jefferson, Ainge would have to move KG, PP, or Allen, and that is not happening. |

Minesotta offer to Jefferson extension for 5 years for $50 mill and he reject the offer, he will
wait to the next summer when he will be restricted free agent. Wow that's a big game from
him I don't know another so young player who will reject an offer for $50 mill just like that

$10 million is not fair market value for AJ.

$10 million is not fair market value for AJ. Agreed. I'd say Al will be able to get somewhere in the neighbor hood of a 5/60 or 5/65 contract no problem. When projects like Nene and Dalembert can 10 large without putting up significant numbers, you'd think Al could trump their contracts. |

How could the Celtics sign him this summer? Do you really think he is going to take that big of a pay cut, just to play for the Celtics? I think not. |

Yes, I think he would take a pay cut to be back in Boston.

Yes, I think he would take a pay cut to be back in Boston. Yeah, but not that big of a pay cut. He'd go from making 11-13 million a year with another team to making 5-6 mill a year to play with us (M.L.E.). heck, I'd be mad at Al for turning away that much money. Dude could do a lot of good for his family and community with that kind of scratch. |
