When the Los Angeles Lakers signed Rajon Rondo, they not only touted him as someone who would make contributions on the court, but off it as well. Rondo’s presence gave the team another veteran and championship voice in the locker room, and he could mentor Lonzo Ball.
While the two point guards have swapped starting roles since the beginning of the season, all indications are they share a positive relationship without any concern over who is in the lineup. In addition to being of value to the Lakers, Rondo has also worked to get under the skin of opponents.
