On the other, non-local end of the spectrum, ESPN's The Undefeated NBA writer Marc Spears reported that Rondo would still be interested in a return to the Kings.

It's also possible that the Kings know something about Darren Collison's future that we don't. Collison is on an excellent contract, and based on his on-court play, I think most would be satisfied heading into next season with him as the Kings' starting point guard. That situation couldn't be less clear, which, from our perspective, makes it very hard to analyze the Kings' point guard situation heading into next season. They either have one decent option, or zero options, period. That is not a comfortable position to be in.
