This week the Los Angeles Lakers lost out on one of the league’s biggest available stars:
“According to Marc Stein of ESPN, the Los Angeles Lakers have lost out on Rajon Rondo as the Boston Celtics make a deal with the Dallas Mavericks.
The Celtics started talks with teams such as the Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets but according to reports, the most advanced discussions have been with the Mavericks. Who, incidentally, followed each other on Twitter today.
Marc Stein reports this in regards to the Lakers:
“The Lakers recently offered the Celtics multiple draft picks — including a future first-rounder — and point guard Steve Nash, who is in the final year of a contract that pays him $9.7 million, sources told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. Nash has been ruled out for the season with a back injury, and the majority of his salary is being paid by insurance.”
