NBA Free Agency: 8 moves Knicks must make to put out the dumpster fire

Rajon Rondo

This is another risky move that the Knicks need to be careful about. It’s really double edged sword as it’s a good idea for the Knicks to sign Rondo but mostly a good idea if they don’t.

Adding Rondo would be a Knicks mistake we expect them to make, as it would be so useless of a move that it’s hard to fathom how it couldn’t happen given the history of the team. Rondo was a disaster with the Celtics in his final days with them and was much worse in his final days with the Mavericks.

He’s dropped to a third or fourth tier free agent who is going to use next year to try and restore his reputation. That will be the angle the Knicks look at, but in true Knick-ian fashion, they’ll overlook the atrocious rap sheet he has over the course of the last few years.

Jerian Grant needs to be coached up, but Rondo hasn’t gotten along well with people who will eventually take his job and pairing him with Grant is a good idea in theory but a classically bad Knicks move in reality.
