19. Rajon Rondo, UFA

If the 2014-15 NBA season hadn’t happened, Rajon Rondo likely would’ve been a Top 10 free agent. He’s an all-time facilitator, a lockdown defender when focused and a nightly triple-double threat.

Unfortunately, the 2014-15 debacle did transpire and Rondo’s ranking pays the price for it.

At his best, Rondo can be a legitimate game-changer for any team he plays for. He’s led the league in assists twice, steals once and has four All-Defensive Team appearances to match his four All-Star Game berths.

If it were talent alone, Rondo would be a Top 10 free agent. It isn’t.

The question is, which Rondo will a team get?
