 The Los Angeles Clippers finally addressed their biggest problem in their roster as they traded away longtime veteran Lou Williams for a veteran floor general in Rajon Rondo. Rondo was arguably their biggest free signing target for the Clippers in the off-season. Nevertheless, the Clippers did lose a good bench scorer in Williams, but finally have a natural playmaker in Rondo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rajon-rondo/]. The 35-year-old can be a difference-maker for the Clippers, especially in the Playoffs. Given his performance with the Lakers last season, the 4-time All-Star can be a steal for the Clippers. CLIPPERS’ SUPERSTAR PAUL GEORGE SPEAKS ABOUT RONDO’S ADDITION TO THE TEAM Clippers have been hugely dependent on both of their superstars, Paul George [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/paul-george/] and Kawhi Leonard for playmaking and distribution this season. The 30-year-old spoke about their new acquisition in a post-game press conference. PG said, “He’s a leader by nature and he’s a leader coming in into this team as is so it’s almost you know natural it’s organic. We know what he stands for, we know what he’s about. There’s no egos. We want everything that he brings.” He added, “I mean it’s never been a situation where it’s you know my team or Kawhi feels it’s his team like we’re in this to do this together and build something together and you know we’re here to win together. Same thing goes with Rondo. This team is his regardless if he’s played a game yet or not, he’s a part of this team. “He’s a big piece of this team and it’s just respect. We got a lot of respect for him when he’s been on other teams and his career and it’s continued respect even more so with him being on our side.” Rondo can be a key piece for the Clippers going into this season. The 34-year-old might be averaging [https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/r/rondora01.html] 3.9 points, 3.5 assists, and 2.0 rebounds, but much of it is due to the reduced minutes he was getting with the Hawks. With a much-advanced role in the Clippers organization, Rondo hopefully can replicate some of his form from the Lakers. His ability to take control of the game especially in the Playoffs can come in handy for the Clippers. Can the Clippers finally win a championship with Rondo on their side?

<h2>Paul George 2022: Net worth, salary and endorsements</h2>
Seven-time NBA All-star Paul George was born on May 2, 1990, in Palmdale, California. He played high school basketball for Knight High School and then two seasons of college basketball at Fresno State, before being selected by the Indiana Pacers as the 10th overall pick of the 2010 NBA draft.

After staying with the Pacers for seven seasons, George was traded to Oklahoma City Thunder. He played two seasons in Oklahoma before he started the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-2019-20-season-preview/">2019/20 NBA season</a> with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-2019-20-los-angeles-clippers-roster/">Los Angeles Clippers</a>.
<h2>Paul George with OKC Thunder</h2>
After playing for the Pacers for 7 long seasons, PG13 knew he needed a change in scenery. A trade to OKC Thunder followed. Paired up alongside Russell Westbrook, George truly showed his incredible potential in his second season.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-764647" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Paul-George-OKC-Thunder.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1281" />

After a disappointing first-round exit against the Utah Jazz in his first year, PG was a man on a mission. <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/georgpa01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Averaging</a> 28.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game, PG13 was one of the top candidates for the MVP trophy in the 2018-19 season.

But the playoffs certainly were a very big disappointment yet again. Despite having superior star power, the Thunder were simply outclassed by Damian Lillard and the Blazers. With the team's exit, George's exit followed, and in came the Clippers.
<h2>Paul George with LA Clippers</h2>
After acquiring arguably the biggest free agent in Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers knew they had to add another star. In a clear win-now move, LAC gave away some of their most talented young players and multiple picks to add George.

While the duo of Kawhi and George looked decent in the regular season, PG13 had a post-season run to forget. In the second round of the playoffs against the Nuggets, George only averaged 21.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists shooting <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/paul-george-stats-vs-nuggets-playoffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">43.5%</a> from the field, and garnered the nickname 'Pandemic P'. The Clippers blew a 3-1 lead as George had a horrendous performance in Game 7.

[caption id="attachment_674544" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-674544" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-06-13T014202Z_576701017_MT1USATODAY16247655_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PLAYOFFS-UTAH-JAZZ-AT-LOS-ANGELES-CLIPPERS.jpg" alt="LA Clippers player Paul George" width="1920" height="1280" /> Jun 12, 2021; Los Angeles, California, USA; LA Clippers guard Paul George (13) celebrates after a three-point basket against the Utah Jazz in the second quarter during game three in the second round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs. at Staples Center. Mandatory Credit: Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

But the now 32-year-old certainly redeemed himself in the 2020-21 playoffs. While the team lost Kawhi Leonard through injury in the middle of the second round, it was PG who led the Clippers all the way to the franchise's first-ever Conference Finals. While George's brilliant form continued, the Phoenix Suns comfortably beat the short-handed LAC.

With Leonard out for the 2021-22 season, the Clippers were reliant on 'PG' to shine for them. However, George faced many injury issues throughout the season and could only suit up for 31 regular season games. The Clippers still managed to finish 8th and clinch a Play-In spot but they couldn't make the Playoffs after losing to the Timberwolves and the Pelicans. George's absence proved to be vital.

For the 2021-22 season, although PG13 was the leading scorer for his team, he only played 31 games. He averaged 24.3 points, 5.7 assists, and 6.9 rebounds in the limited games that he played.

In the 2021-22 season, his averages were higher than his career average. While he played only 31 games, George had his best year in a Clippers jersey based on the averages.
<h2>Paul George's 2022 net worth</h2>
<a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nba/paul-george-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Celebrity Net Worth</a> estimates the net worth of Paul George as $90 million.

<h2>Paul George's contract details</h2>
While he was set to enter the free agency in the 2021-22 season, PG13 signed a contract extension with the Clippers.

With a four-year contract worth <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/los-angeles-clippers/paul-george-6892/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$176 million</a>, the Clippers now have tied down their dynamic duo of Kawhi and Paul George to long-term contracts and will hope that their gamble pays off in the near future.

Paul George with OKC Thunder After playing for the Pacers for 7 long seasons, PG13 knew he needed a change in scenery. A trade to OKC Thunder followed. Paired up alongside Russell Westbrook, George truly showed his incredible potential in his second season. After a disappointing first-round exit against the Utah Jazz in his first year, PG was a man on a mission. Averaging 28.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game, PG13 was one of the top candidates for the MVP trophy in the 2018-19 season. But the playoffs certainly were a very big disappointment yet again. Despite having superior star power, the Thunder were simply outclassed by Damian Lillard and the Blazers. With the team&#8217;s exit, George&#8217;s exit followed, and in came the Clippers. Paul George with LA Clippers After acquiring arguably the biggest free agent in Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers knew they had to add another star. In a clear win-now move, LAC gave away some of their most talented young players and multiple picks to add George. While the duo of Kawhi and George looked decent in the regular season, PG13 had a post-season run to forget. In the second round of the playoffs against the Nuggets, George only averaged 21.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists shooting 43.5% from the field, and garnered the nickname &#8216;Pandemic P&#8217;. The Clippers blew a 3-1 lead as George had a horrendous performance in Game 7.

Mandatory Credit: Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports But the now 32-year-old certainly redeemed himself in the 2020-21 playoffs. While the team lost Kawhi Leonard through injury in the middle of the second round, it was PG who led the Clippers all the way to the franchise&#8217;s first-ever Conference Finals. While George&#8217;s brilliant form continued, the Phoenix Suns comfortably beat the short-handed LAC. With Leonard out for the 2021-22 season, the Clippers were reliant on &#8216;PG&#8217; to shine for them. However, George faced many injury issues throughout the season and could only suit up for 31 regular season games. The Clippers still managed to finish 8th and clinch a Play-In spot but they couldn&#8217;t make the Playoffs after losing to the Timberwolves and the Pelicans.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Rajon Rondo: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Rajon Rondo went down as the 21st overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft to enter the league. Rondo holds a significant record to his name of being the second only player to have won a championship with both the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/los-angeles-lakers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Los Angeles Lakers</a> and Boston Celtics.?

Rondo was born on February 22, 1986, in Louisville, Kentucky, and attended Eastern High School in his hometown for three years. He excelled in his junior year, gathering averages of 27.9 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 7.5 assists, but transferred to a different school to complete his senior year.?

He had already established himself as a top-point guard when he joined Oak Hill Academy and managed to lived up to his expectations as a senior. Rondo averaged a double-double in his final high-school year with 21.0 points and 12.0 assists per game.?

He broke the single-season assist record at Oak Hill and also became the second All-Time bucket-getter in a game when he notched up 55.0 points as a senior.?

Rondo committed to the University of Kentucky after high-school and spent two years there. His promising displays earned Rondo a spot on the SEC All-Freshman team that year, even though Kentucky failed to advance to the final four of the NCAA Tournament.?

Rondo averaged 11.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 2.1 steals in his sophomore year, a slight improvement from his freshman numbers. However, his 87 total steals during his rookie season still stands as a <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/kentucky/leaders-and-records-season.html">record</a> in the Kentucky Wildcats? history books.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Rajon Rondo NBA career?</h2>
Rondo decided to forego his remaining two seasons at Kentucky and declared his eligibility for the 2006 <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> Draft. The Phoenix Suns selected him with the 21st overall pick and he went down as the first point guard to be selected in the draft.

Rondo was traded to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/boston-celtics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Celtics</a> which saw the dawn of a long-term relationship. The Celtics thrived with Rondo on the roster and vice-versa. His Basketball IQ proved to be of great value and he formed a great partnership with Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett at that time.?

The 6?1? point guard was an integral part of Boston?s 2008 championship team as he averaged nearly seven assists a game in the finals. His stint with the Celtics ended after 2014, and Rondo found himself leapfrogging between several teams in the association.?
