If Rondo were willing we could sign him to a vet minimum deal and then at the end of this coming season we'd have his early bird rights to give him a raise on his next contract. However that's a big ask. The only thing that might tip it to our favor is Rondo has played around the league now and he's been in some bad situations. Maybe he likes it here enough to take one for the team.
