Apparently Rondo had zero interest in resigning in SAC so you can rule them out.
Why does Sac care right now?? So every team that wants to trade for Rondo will ask if he will stay after his contract before wanting to make a trade?
Yes. But more accurately since it doesn't make economic sense for him to sign an extension now, they'll ask if he's interested in staying.
If he says "Hell no!" like he probably would've if the Kings asked, then the buyer's gonna drop their price hard or move on entirely.
Sac should just take a chance. They can change his mind. I mean they got all of next year to try to entice him to stay
Its a good deal. If they took out one piece of the offer bc rondo is not sure he will stay, Danny still might do it
"bc rondo is not sure he will stay"
Yeah... it sounds like he was pretty sure that he doesn't want to stay. No competent GM should be willing to give up valuable assets for a guy who says flat out he doesn't wanna play for you. It drove nuts that Danny chased after CP3 so hard even though it was pretty adamant in reports that he didn't want to play here.
And I could def see Rondo taking less money to leave Sacramento in free agency. He's said he feels like he's making good money now and then he signed that 8-year sneaker contract with Anta.I don't think money is going to be the deciding factor for him.
He is friends with Gay. Unless Gay is also not interested in resigning.
Yup, so it makes you wonder the type of conversations they're having. The interesting part is that if Gay opts in next year (with $19m, it's hard picturing him not opting in), they'd both be free agents at the same time. Maybe Gay is already planning to bolt.
Even if these players want to bolt now, they can also get attached. It's not just easy to leave a team you play (played) for, even if its for one year .
If Gay and Rondo start winning in Sac, they will likely stay imo. It's also not easy to go to the same team together.
I bet you guys if this rumor is true, Gay is speaking to Rondo right now trying to get him over.
If this trade happens , i wonder if sac will try to get Josh Smith next
