Danny Ainge confirmed that the Boston Celtics never offered Rajon Rondo a five-year, $70 million extension prior to trading him last December.

A report from Yahoo! Sports this week indicated that the offer was made to Rondo.

"No, that's not the correct number," he said. "We wouldn't even be able to do that under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. I'm not sure where those numbers came from, but we would not be able to do that."

A shorter deal was offered by the Celtics.

"It was more like a two-year extension," said Ainge. "It would've been for a percentage of what he was making, so probably in the $11-$13 million range."

Rondo eventually signed with the Sacramento Kings on a one-year, $9.5 million deal.
