It’s been nearly 10 years since Ray Allen turned his back on the Boston Celtics to join LeBron James and the Miami Heat.

Rajon Rondo is officially back with the Los Angeles Lakers, joining other guys rewinding it with the squad, including Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza and Wayne Ellington.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are catching a lot of flak for being a roster filled with old heads.

Rajon Rondo will back up Russell Westbrook at point guard for the 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers. Bringing Rondo back into the Lakers’ locker room makes sense for numerous reasons.

After Ray Allen bolted the Boston Celtics for the Miami Heat back in 2012, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo held grudges to their former teammate.
