re: Anthony Davis says Rajon Rondo can ‘help take Pelicans to the next level’

Possibly, but I think you're overestimating how much of a market there will be if he does well. He'll be 32 and he'll still have every bit of baggage he had before. He's not not an a-hole just because the Pels are uniquely equipped to deal with him.

If things go well then the Pels can offer him a starting role on a rising playoff team. The most another playoff caliber team would likely offer him would be part of the MLE for a backup role. Non playoff teams probably wouldn't even look at him, too old with too much baggage.
