  • Knicks reached out to Rajon Rondo

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    The Knicks have reached out to free agent point guard Rajon Rondo but have not set up a meeting, his agent Bill Duffy told ZAGSBLOG.

    The contact was first reported by Michael Scotto of Basketball Insiders.

    The Bulls waived Rondo at the end of June to save about $10 million of the $13 million he would have earned next season. The Lakers and Clippers have also been linked to Rondo, who played at Oak Hill (VA) Academy, as did Knicks star Carmelo Anthony.

    Rondo, 31, averaged 7.8 points, 6.7 assists, and 5.1 rebounds in 69 regular season games in 2016-17. He fractured his thumb during Game 2 of the Bulls’ first round playoff series loss to the Celtics.

    The Knicks are looking for an experienced guard to mentor Frank Ntilikina.

    Free agent Derrick Rose met with the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday and is slated to meet with the Clippers.

    “He’s the youngest MVP of the NBA history, I can learn from [Rose],” Ntilikina told the New York Daily News. “It would be good. He’s done a lot of things in his career. For sure it would be good. I’m not controlling what management is doing. I trust the management and the coaching staff to do what’s best for the team.”
