8 – Rajon Rondo, Sacramento Kings – 6’1″ Guard

The Kings are not going to put up a fight for Rajon Rondo, so it is very unlikely we see him in Kings jersey next season. Sacramento is going to send him one offer, and one offer only, and if Rondo thinks that is less money than he deserves, they are going to stick with Darren Collison and move on from the Rondo era.

Rondo is the second best point guard in the free agency pool this year and is going to be sought after by many teams in need of a pass-first point guard. Rondo last season averaged 11.9 PPG and led the league with 11.7 APG totaling almost more assists then he did points. This combination could be lethal for a team with a score-first shooting guard and a talented big man.

Rondo has proven time and time again that he is an assist machine, leading the league in assists in three out of his 10 years in the NBA. The bidding war is just beginning over this star-studded point guard.
