One NBA writer believes the Phoenix Suns should sign veteran point guard Rajon Rondo. Ben Stinar of Sports Illustrated believes the Suns need a point guard who can set the table for everyone.
The Suns traded Chris Paul to the Washington Wizards in the Bradley Beal trade, so they need a new floor general. Rondo is not only one of the top passers in NBA history, but he also played for new Suns head coach Frank Vogel on the Los Angeles Lakers.
Rondo and Vogel helped the Lakers win the 2020 championship over the Miami Heat in seven games at the Walt Disney World bubble in Orlando, Florida.
The 37-year-old Rondo has career averages of 9.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 7.9 assists with the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Pelicans, Lakers, Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers. He has won two championships and three assists titles and made four All-Star teams and four All-Defensive teams.
