If Rondo was on his best behavior, was a willing mentor to Frank, things could turn out well. High Risk/Reward. Maybe not contract wise, but chemistry wise. Better than Rose though.

Rondo seems to have been a headache on every team he has played for. Not to mention the guy still can't shoot. I would pass on Rondo. Only takes one guy to destroy a locker room.

I agree, I would pass. If Rondo is signed however, he would be the best playmaker we've had in a long time. 2 years tops. A 2 year deal and least he could be moved if things didnt work out. 4 years and Rondo falls back on his old ways, the Knicks are likely stuck with his contract at this stage in Rondo's career. 2 years is the only deal that I could digest.

Also keep in mind Rondo is most effective (in his prime) when you just give him the ball and allowed him the freedom to create on his own. The triangle seems like it would've been the worse offense for him. Not sure what type of system Hornacek is going to run, but that greatly impacts whether Rondo would be a good fit. He's not the type of player who you can plug into any system and see him flourish.

I would love to see the Rondo/Rambis dynamic if Kurt continues to be employed by the Knicks.

A two year deal sounds reasonable. I am not crazy about Rondo but he is not lazy, plays hard and he always plays to win. I don't think he would come here knowing we are not going to win a lot of games. But if he does, I will take him
