Max Kellerman: "Relialbe NBA Source says RONDO is a Lock to Sign w/ Lakers"

[Sccit]

Max Kellerman of ESPN is proclaiming to everyone including to John Ireland that he has a reliable NBA source saying Rajon Rondo is signing with the Lakers this summer for the max.

http://espn.go.com/espnradio/losangeles/play?id=12614223

- Says he has a very reliable source in the NBA saying "Rajon Rondo is a mortal lock to sign with the Lakers."

- Says Lakers and Rondo have mutual interest and Lakers will offer Rondo the max.

- Reports are out now that Lakers are prioritizing Rondo because they know they can't get Dragic.

- Gives his own opinion that this is "Stupid Lakers, stupid!" But understands Lakers have to use 90% of the cap per League rules, and there's no other free agents they believe they can realistically acquire.

- Says hopefully the Lakers are able to sign Rondo to a short term deal with the most money he can get, because he doesn't want Lakers paying max dollars to a 35 year old player who can't shoot and is twice as slow as he is now.

if Rondo returns to form then he's worth every penny but he's clearly not a good fit in Dallas - i don't watch their games at all being on the east coast so I couldn't imagine what the issue is but when Rondo was in his prime he was the best defensive PG in the league.

when Kobe retires after next year and the Clippers are still banging out playoff appearances for years to come with CP3 and Blake I bet Sccit will be a Clip Show fan.

From what it sounds like the Lakers are ready go pay him around 68-72mil/4years. Kobe probably hopes to become a spot-up shooter while getting 20 assists per game from Rondo so he can play until he's 40.
