Rajon Rondo Traded from Lakers to Cleveland – Keep Westbrook

The Lakers were clear that Rondo wasn’t going to be relied on as much for his production as he was his basketball mind. But he was still open to returning to the Lakers after winning a title with the team in 2020.

However Rondo is not upset. Actually he wants to be traded so he can get more playing time.

Rondo is eager for the chance to play a bigger role with an ascending Cavaliers team in the absence of Ricky Rubio, sources said. He has been positive on the deal since it was presented to him as an option Thursday.
