Beijing time on November 22, Yahoo Sports reporter Chris Haynes took the lead to report that the Eagles and Rajon Rondo signed a two-year $15 million contract with no team or player options. The eagle took a fancy to his leadership ability.
The Lakers and Clippers have both intentionally signed Rondo, but he will return to the Eastern Conference. The Hawks are optimistic about Rondo's leadership and presence in the locker room. They will hit the playoffs in the new season.
As of now, Rondo is the third experienced player signed by the Hawks after the free market opened. The other two are Danilo Gallinari and Chris Dunn. The famous Adrian Wonaroski said that the Hawks are determined to improve the defensive ability of the backcourt. This is one of the reasons why they signed Dunn and Rondo.
Last season, Rondo played an important role in the Lakers. With his help, the Lakers finally succeeded in winning the championship. After entering the Disney park, Rondo once fractured his right thumb, but fortunately he caught up with the playoffs. In 16 playoff games for the Lakers, he averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists as a substitute. He refused to implement the player option of the veteran's basic salary and entered the free market.
Earlier this week, reporter Frank Isola first stated that the Eagles are expected to provide Rondo with a two-year, $15 million contract. ESPN salary experts revealed that the Eagles currently have as much as $20 million in salary space, and they may continue to sign in, such as the introduction of players like Bogdan Bogdanovic.
