Rondo opens up and pressure arises in Sacramento

Former All-Star point guard, Rajon Rondo became the second veteran player on the Kings to validate the obvious concerns of fans and pundits from last season on an episode of ESPN’s “The Jump,” with Rachel Nichols.

Not long after Caron Butler told “First Take” that players and coaching staff “couldn’t co-exist,” Rondo, who left the most volatile of situations in Dallas – where his relationship with coach Rick Carlisle prompted the team to end his season in the midst of a playoff series – noted the dysfunction in the Kings’ locker room.

“As far as locker room chemistry, it wasn’t the best, and I’ve been around a couple teams now, this is my 10th year,” Rondo told Nichols Monday.
