This is a change from what we've heard before, but should come as welcome news. Even the most ardent Rondo supporters should be on board with the idea of keeping him if the price is right, but letting him walk if the price is wrong. The question still remains, though, what exactly is the price the Kings would be comfortable with?
Letting Rondo walk isn't inherently a good or bad move. It depends on the price he fetches, what else the Kings do with the cap space, and how the Kings address the point guard position if Rondo isn't retained. We'll continue to watch the situation, and I'm sure we'll have plenty more updates in the coming months.
