The Sacramento Kings are in need of a quality point guard, and Rajon Rondo is in serious need of an improved image after his exit from the Dallas Mavericks during the playoffs.
Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe is reporting that the Kings could be a ‘darkhorse’ location for the free agent Rondo.
A darkhorse location for Rajon Rondo in free agency is Sacramento, where the Kings are entering a pivotal year in their franchise and could use a bona fide point guard. Darren Collison, coming off hip surgery, is the team’s scheduled starter for next season. Rondo, who didn’t appear interested in going to the Kings a few years ago, could use the club as a springboard to perhaps a larger contract if he signs a one-year deal. Rondo is also close friends with Kings forward Rudy Gay.
The Kings only become an option for Rondo if the Lakers and a few other big named teams pass on the enigma that once was a top five point guard in the league.
Rondo and Boogie Cousins would make for wonderful TV though.
