The Los Angeles Clippers acquired Rajon Rondo at the trade deadline. Rajon Rondo was viewed as the answer to many of their problems revolving around playmaking. Rajon Rondo’s acquisition will give the Clippers a facilitator who can get Kawhi Leonard and Paul George the ball in their spots while running the rest of the offense.
Recently, Rajon Rondo spoke to Rachel Nichols about a variety of topics, including his fit with the Los Angeles Clippers. Rajon Rondo seems to think that he would fit right in with the Los Angeles Clippers while making their superstars’ lives a lot easier.

I’ve been doing it my whole life. I think what I pride myself on is making first ballot Hall of Famers’ job a lot easier.
Rajon Rondo has played with first-ballot Hall-of-Famers such as LeBron James and Paul Pierce. He is a two-time champion who has plenty of experience winning at the highest level. Rajon Rondo believes that the goal for this Clippers team is a championship. They certainly have the talent to do so: now it’s about putting all of the pieces together. Rajon Rondo will be particularly helpful in a playoff setting, and his last season with the Los Angeles Lakers showed that “Playoff Rondo” is still there.
Perhaps Rajon Rondo can be the solution that helps the Los Angeles Clippers beat the competition. Rajon Rondo’s basketball IQ is up there with the best of them, and it will certainly be useful to the Clippers. Rajon Rondo helped the Lakers in a title last season: maybe he can replicate that magic with the Clippers.
