One year to try to improve his value before the cap rises.

Couldn't wish a more mercurial, hard to accommodate "star" on a franchise less equipped to handle him.

As long as they give him the ball 100% of the time and let him create, he should succeed there.   There's a couple shooters on that team.

This is annoying to me, because the rumor was that we had been trying to trade Rondo for Ben McLemore and their 2014 1st (ended up #8), but that Rondo refused to re-sign in Sacramento.  Also, Rondo reportedly wanted a 100 million max offer from Boston.    Now he ends up signing in Sacramento?

On the flip side... wow...  Danny Ainge just cost Rajon Rondo a TON of money by trading him.   Had he played out the season for Boston, he would have continued putting up inflated stats and the Knicks/Lakers would have offered him max money.

Hope he succeeds there.

Kings F Rudy Gay played an instrumental role in convincing his close friend Rajon Rondo to come to Sacramento, a source told Yahoo Sports.

Boy, talk about a fall from grace for this guy.

Predictable from both ends.  Figured it'd only be a one year deal too.  The team may still be terrible, but Rondo on his own HAS to have a good season.  This includes the stats, behaving himself, not clashing with Karl, being a good teammate, giving a full effort every night, playing defense, etc.

He also has to show a decent improvement on his jump shot and free throw shot.

I fully believe Rondo is playing for his NBA life this coming season.  If he continues to be a train wreck on offense, clashes with the coach, and quits on his team at all, he'll be playing basketball overseas in 2016

Rondo has nobody to blame but himself.  Totally detonated his value in Dallas, not to mention the way he handled the end of his time in Boston.

Hard to think of many examples of a player detonating his value so completely as Rondo has done.  Lamar Odom is the only one that comes to mind.
