Rajon Rondo Takes Subtle Shot At Tyronn Lue And The Clippers In Introductory Press Conference

"Like I said, it hasn't been 10 years, " Rajon Rondo told members of the media during his introductory press conference Tuesday. «I don't think I've changed much, I don't think my game has declined. You're only as good as your coach believes in you and going forward this year, looking at the Lakers team and the roster, understanding where I am in my career, but at the same time, I do believe I can still bring a lot to the game. But my main focus is if we win, nothing else matters."

"Obviously, everybody wants to be wanted,» Rondo said. "Coach Frank — I talked with him early this morning. As far as his expectations from me, I understand that he missed my voice last year in the locker room, which meant a lot. I understand that I do have value here Frank was a big key, obviously talked to Bron, AD, we keep in touch all the time. Rob's been true to me from Day 1."
