Rondo has the second-worst TS% of any player in the last 10 years to take at least 400 shots:

And those numbers are even worse since he started playing for the offense that was the best of all-time before he arrived! He's absolutely horrible. Any team would be crazy to pay him $10MM a year. I can't think of one team in the NBA where he'd be useful as the starter. Any team bad enough on offense that he wouldn't bring them down would be better off just developing a younger player since they're obviously not going anywhere any time soon anyway.

I guess the Lakers could be a good fit for Rondo on a 1-year deal since they're hamstrung by the Kobe contract anyway so they could double down on the "hidden tank" strategy, guaranteeing themselves a Top-5 draft pick and tons of cap room going into the 2016 offseason.
