Depth.

Rondo would be a tremendous mentor to Trae.

Yup.  Folks need to do their homework.

Do we need him though? Seems like a lot of money for a player who's not going to be playing much.

[ATLHawks3]

Rondo's playoff performance sold me that he still provides value to NBA teams. An on court coach and a guy that'll hold his teammates accountable.

How much do top assistant coaches make? How much more would you be willing to pay a coach if they could provide you with a few quality minutes on the floor and depth insurance should the unfortunate happen in an unprecedented time for the game?

[ATLHawks3]

We have great insurance in the case that Trae gets hurt (God forbid).

[GameTime]

We have to make the playoffs now to see Playoff Rondo.

If there are enough minutes to keep them happy, I'm game. 

Schlenk must have listened to TLC because he's bringing in no more scrubs...

I like this signing. I never thought I'd ever see Rondo in a Hawks uni, but here we are. Has the same feeling as when we signed TMac and Stackhouse except he'll contribute more than both. Welcome!

This makes Dunn a non sense signing, and he played 20mpg with Lakers, the champs. He is going to be really pissed off his PT is going to decrease at a borderline playoff team, this history is not going to end well

Oh . . so we're SERIOUS about rebuilding the roster, huh?

- Got a shooter that can play the wing or on the frontline, that also has the ability to start

- Got 2 defensive minded PGs, with one of them being a 2-time NBA Champ

- Got another shooter for insurance.

 

And we STILL have room to add another shooter if need be.

 

On paper, good job Travis.

Now lock John up and be done with it.

I give it a 4.5 on the 10-pt joke scale.

I don't understand it all, but I'm here for it................

You just hate everything.   You're worse than me.

I get a lot of folks concern, but my Big Blue Heart is soaring. I've always loved Rondo. He's a shadow of is former self, but I think he'll still be a positive impact. 

The only person that needs to be concerned is Lloyd. Rondo actually knows what's up and CLP gonna need to step up his game.
