It is 6 teams in 5 years.  Doesn't really say much.  The situations with the teams were different.  Role players on 1 year contracts move around a lot.

Will always love Rondo.

His Lakers team isn't beating ours anytime soon, though.

He is going to help that team.

If he can bring his tenacity/competitive nature and influence lonzo, that would be worth the roster spot and money that the lakers gave him.

From Ball's interview on NBATV, looks like this is already happening.

Lonzo said he is learning a LOT from Rondo so far - even going over game footage.

For all of his complexities Rajon Rondo has a great basketball mind and brought me a lot of joy watching him in Green.

If he turns Lonzo into something I will never forgive him ;)

That's the right choice. No way is Ball the better player right now.

I'd like to see them start the 3 of them. See how they can work.

I still think Ball is better as a secondary ball-handler / creator than the primary one. I think he can work well (at SG) alongside a PG like Rondo.

I agree but to work Ball has to shoot a lot better.

They couldn't offer as much as the Lakers. The best they could do was ~$6.3 million ($8.6 million full MLE minus the $2.3 million they signed Elfrid Payton for), while the Lakers gave him $9 million

Yeah, you can hardly afford to start Rondo (over the last 3 years shoots .439/.351/.534) next to Lonzo, a member of the rare 30/30/40 club

On the other hand, the passing would be incredible.  Has there ever been a team with that much elite passing talent in their starting lineup?

I guess this is the Laker's payback for Shaq playing his final season with the Celtics.
