The Knicks’ search for a veteran point guard to pair with rookie Frank Ntilikina continues, according to Ian Begley of ESPN.com, who reports (via Twitter) that the club has reached out to Rajon Rondo and Darren Collison.
New York has been linked to a number of free agent point guards since free agency opened and in the weeks leading up to July. Many of the team’s rumored trade of free agent targets – such as Jeff Teague, Ricky Rubio, and Jrue Holiday – are already off the board, but the Knicks appear to have no shortage of candidates for their point guard spot.
The Knicks are said to be considering a reunion with Derrick Rose, and are among the clubs with some reported interest in Michael Carter-Williams. George Hill is viewed as the Knicks’ top target, though he’s probably more of a long shot, given the club’s inability to make him the sort of lucrative, competitive offer he’ll get elsewhere. A source tells Marc Berman of The New York Post that the Nuggets and Pacers are a little “further along” on Hill.
It remains to be seen which point guard the Knicks will ultimately land, but expect a veteran addition of some sort — the club doesn’t believe Ntilikina is ready to start, per Berman.
If Boston packages Crowder, Smart, Rozier, and picks for a star they are suddenly in need of a backup PG… Rondo reunion? He can still play pretty well.
Boston won’t make a move. They scared
Yep and I’m not sure why. After seeing what George and Butler went for Ainge better have something up his sleeve.
Celtics be scared
Rondo is a bad locker room presence for an emerging team. No chance the Celtics or any other up and coming team want him.
Rondo is still one of the best Pg in the Liga right now he can help every team
Lol Rondo is most cet not one of the best anymore
Liga is the Spanish league. The NBA uses the English term league. Also no
So he can play overseas!
Yes send him to France please! He can become the next Marbury.
Knicks sign rondo pleaaaaase
