The Los Angeles Lakers continue to stockpile former All-Stars this offseason, and Rajon Rondo is the latest.
Rondo, who reached a buyout agreement with the Memphis Grizzlies over the weekend, plans to sign a one-year deal with the Lakers, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
After they sign Rondo, the Lakers will have six players on their roster who were named All-Stars in 2012. As ESPN’s Matt Williams notes, Anthony Davis wasn’t even in the league at that time.
The 35-year-old Rondo was previously with the Lakers for two seasons from 2018 to 2020. He split time last year between the Atlanta Hawks and the Los Angeles Clippers before being traded to Memphis this summer as part of the Patrick Beverley-Eric Bledsoe swap. He won a title with the Lakers two seasons ago.
