New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony has already revealed that he believes Rajon Rondo would be a perfect fit with him in New York. The team’s interim head coach, Kurt Rambis, apparently agrees.
From Marc Berman of the New York Post:
The Knicks are campaigning openly to see if they can find a new starting point guard next season. Carmelo Anthony lobbied for free-agent-to-be Rajon Rondo earlier in the road trip — and he will grace the Garden on Sunday when the Kings face the Knicks. According to an NBA source, Rambis is high on Rondo and what he can do in the triangle.
Rondo has said previously this season that he doesn’t believe that the triangle would be “a good look” for him. The Knicks(at least Anthony and Rambis) seem to vehemently disagree with that statement, as they have both specifically talked about how well Rondo would fit in the triangle.
Rondo has had a nice bounce-back season for the Sacramento Kings this season after a lackluster one for the Dallas Mavericks last year. Rondo has averaged 11.8 points, a league-leading 11.9 assists, 6.1 rebounds, and 2 steals per game in 64 appearances(all starts) for the Kings this season, but the team has a meager 26-42 record.
