Free agent Rajon Rondo has reached agreement on a one-year deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, league sources tell The Vertical.
TP. Will be interesting to see how the Twin Towers of the Pelicans function together.
Rondo is certainly someone they need (guy who can pass the ball to them well lol).
As long as they keep their attitudes in check for the most part, Pels could be a 6-8 seed at best (West just got too stacked now).
Hoping it works out. Always going to root for Rondo and the NBA is a better league if that Pelicans team is competitive.
That being said if they flop and are forced to move on from Anthony Davis for a boatload of picks and young assets that would be just fine too.
I agree. I was excited to see Rondo come back to life in the playoffs, and was even more excited to see that he couldn't single handedly beat the Celtics for the rest of the series!
I understand that people didn't like Rondo's personality (and some antics like the SAC game), but I was and still am a big fan. He is a game changer- no doubt about it. He has the ability to take over in the playoffs, which is a unique characteristic. He seems to come up big when it matters the most. I think/hope Marcus Smart has this trait.
I hope this experiment works out. New Orleans could use some winning- not sure the Saints are going to deliver.
