Rajon Rondo is everything that the Lakers culture finds as a perfect match. It is true that their initial choice to fill the same roster spot was Isaiah Thomas, but Rondo was a better option. So just as he reached a buyout with the Grizzlies, the Lakers secured his services with a $2.6 million check.
The Laker fraternity is excited to have their man back for his third inning in the golden and purple. But so is Playoff Rondo, and his recent words proved the same.

Stepping into his glorious NBA career’s 16th year, The Yoga Instructor is coming off a season where he played with two teams.

Why is Johnny a great fit for the Lakers?
The Lakers already had enough guards to rotate the rosters when they brought in Rajon Rondo as a filler. So, one can expect Rondo to spend fewer minutes on the court than he did in his last two seasons with the Lake Show.
However, there is an important role that will need his expertise. After Jared Dudley’s surprising move to become the Mavericks’ assistant coach, the Lakers are short of a leader in the locker room. Now, Rondo is himself an aspiring coach and great at leadership, making him a perfect swap to fill the shoes of Dud.
