Of all of the signings the Los Angeles Lakers completed in free agency this summer, perhaps none was more surprising than the addition of veteran point guard Rajon Rondo.
After nine highly productive season with the Boston Celtics, Rondo was labeled as a personality problem due to bad years with the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings. However, his time with the New Orleans Pelicans saw Rondo start to return to his old form.
In his prime, Rondo was one of the game’s elite playmakers, and the Pelicans were able to recapture glimpses of that. Now, with the Lakers, Rondo may be forced to accept a role off the bench.
