Lakers Guard nearing a trade with LeBron James’ former team
This trade forces the Cavaliers to clear a roster spot to make way for Rondo. Therefore, they can either trade a minimum contract player with the Lakers or waive a player and complete the deal using cash and picks. While these details about the trade don’t have any confirmation yet, we confirm that the former champion will yet again be on his way out of the team.
