PG Rajon Rondo

Buyout candidate

6-foot-1, 186 pounds (30 years old)

Career averages (11 seasons): 

10.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 1.8 steals per game

46.3 percent shooting on all field goal attempts, 29.3 percent on three-point attempts

What he can bring to the Cleveland Cavaliers:

Rondo brings intelligence and pure-passing ability to the Cleveland Cavaliers if he reaches a buyout agreement with the Chicago Bulls and chooses to sign with the Cavs. With signing Rondo comes a level of weariness at his potentially volatile and explosive nature but if Wade and Taj Gibson are going to bat for Rondo, then there’s a chance that Rondo has changed his attitude enough for that not be a concern. On the court, Rondo will be able to set up the Cavs bevy of long-distance shooters for clean looks provided he plays with energy. He’s not a strong three-point shooter by any means but should be able to knock in the corner threes with some level of consistency. Defensively, Rondo should be hid on a slower player as Iman Shumpert (when J.R. Smith returns) and DeAndre Liggins take on the best scorers in the second unit but with his long arms and quick hands, he should be able to make impact plays so long as he stays active and alert.
