According to ESPN, the Lakers and Celtics may have already worked on a trade that would have sent Rajon Rondo to the Lakers:
While there are no active talks between the two franchises involving a trade for Rondo, sources said the teams did have a brief discussion a few months ago.
It’s not clear which team initiated the call.
Should the teams re-engage in discussions about Rondo, sources indicated Boston likely would ask for at least one first-round draft pick. The Lakers owe their own first-round pick to the Phoenix Suns unless it falls within the top five picks. They also own Houston’s first-round pick.
Kobe Bryant and Rajon Rondo had breakfast together in Boston.
