If he's looking for big money and willing to walk away from being on a Lebron James team, then I don't see how he ends up in Celtic green.
You can't pay him max...with Rondo then expecting the same for his new contract because, you know, he HAS worn the green all these years...and still be able to bring in the support necessary to make this team a champion.
Now, if he wants to come to Boston next year...to be part of the Celtic tradition, to take a lower than max salary to try to give the team the flexibility to repeat the success we had with our last Big Three...and Rondo signs on to the idea, with both giving up salary to bring in another superstar...I'm good with that.
If he's all about the benjamins, then he'll end up elsewhere IMO.
