    Probably depends on the cost. If it's vets minimum even Cookie might ok it. Plus we've had some good signings before this happened so maybe that lessens the blow.

    Guards will funnel defense to mr brow and mcgee. Vogal is a defensive coach.

    It shouldn’t. Caruso is restricted, we should be able to pay him whatever once everything else is all settled. Rondo also gets hurt a lot so we’d be wise to have backup options, letting Caruso go would be a Thomas Bryant type mistake.

    Wonderful move at the minimum. He's exactly what we needed in a bench creator while the big guys are sitting. He's got tremendous experience with Boogie and AD as well.

    I want Rondo/Cousins/Kuzma off the bench. That second unit could keep things stable.

    Yes, thank you! You will not hear me hating on the FO for this one. I will for sure lose it with Rondo almost every game, but for the minimum vs his $9 mil last season he is so much easier to live with.

    Happy to see the positivity here.. I know Rondo's limitations, but we needed a vet PG badly..

    Rondo had a +/- of -245 last season, ranking 501st out of 530 qualifying players.

    Perfect for the minimum. I'm fine with it. Hopefully this lessens the blow for Cookie!

    Good move IMO. Our roster is filling out very well.

    accidentally landed on page 1 of this thread and nearly crapped my pants when I read that Rondo signed for 9M. given this perspective, am ok with him back on a min deal.

    Never really wanted him back but for the minimum it’s ok. Needs to work on his effort and lazy passes. Having to root for Boggie has lowered my standards.

    This tells anyone what they need to know about the guy.

    My eyes do not deceive me. I hope the second year is a team option.
