Rajon Rondo is reportedly expected to decline his player option

Rajon Rondo is expected to cash in on his incredible postseason performance with the Los Angeles Lakers and enter the free-agent market, per Brad Turner.

Rondo currently has a $2.6M player option in his contract with the Lakers. The L.A franchise has covered the starting point guard position by trading for Dennis Schroder, in a deal expected to go through early this week.

With Schroder’s contract on the books, the cap-space will be limited for Rondo ahead of the 2020 NBA free agency.

As a result, various teams expressed interest in signing the veteran guard this offseason with the Hawks and the Clippers being among the suitors, per various reports.
