5. player. 66. <p>The wild card in this scenario is the Phoenix Suns.</p>
<p>Everyone and their brother knows that the Suns love point guards and running a two-point guard system.</p>
<p>The team has Eric Bledsoe on the roster and he took a step forward in his first year as the point guard for the Suns despite the struggles of the team.</p>
<p>The team also traded for Brandon Knight at the trade deadline. While, at first glance Rondo doesn’t make sense, Knight is a restricted free agent and if the Suns don’t want to overpay Knight, they could go the free agency route for another point guard and a proven commodity in Rondo.</p>
<p>The Rondo connection could be made in the desert as well.</p>
<p>Suns general manager Ryan McDonough was in Boston when Rondo was drafted and McDonough had a big part in drafting him.</p>
<p>Rondo could slide right into the Suns lineup next to Bledsoe and the Suns suddenly have two point guards in the starting lineup again.</p>
<p>However, one of the biggest problems for the Suns in 2014-2015 was team chemistry. What was a strength the season before dissipated as players struggled with technical fouls and losses.</p>
<p>The parting of Goran Dragic at the trade deadline also left a black eye on the season.</p>
<p>The Suns might rather stay away from any possible chemistry issues. Still, Rondo would add a great deal of experience to the roster and McDonough running the show in Phoenix, knows what Rondo can bring.</p>
<p>If any team is a dark horse to watch in this situation, it’s definitely the Suns. If contract talks with Brandon Knight don’t pan out, then could definitely enter the running.</p>. Southwest Division. Western Conference. Phoenix Suns
