Lakers Reach Out To Rajon Rondo

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Fri Jul 3, 2015 4:07 am

The Los Angeles Lakers reached out to Rajon Rondo with a call on the second day of free agency.

Rondo has most strenuously been pursued by the Sacramento Kings.

The Dallas Mavericks acquired Rondo last December, but it turned out to be a bad fit.

He is probably just saying that to stir up intrest. They just drafted a PG that's going to start. I can see Rondo doing well in China!

Not even just "once" but been mighty for a lot more and lengthy of time. All this other "fans" keep on bashing the Lakers when their own team, if they have "one", doesn't even produce a single or multiple successful years. Yeah we know, people of this generation are people of the moment. They tend to forget that this mediocre Lakers franchise of today just won BACK TO BACK championships 5 years ago.

Please no. I'd rather have no Rondo and watch Clarkson and Russell develop.

I heard White Mamba is also being pursued by the Lakers, potential max deal signing. Black Mamba might be at the meeting though, so don't cross your fingers.
