The New Orleans Pelicans sent a contingent of officials to Louisville on Thursday to meet with free agent point guard Rajon Rondo about a possible one-year deal, league sources told ESPN.
One source briefed on the meeting called it, "excellent," and the Pelicans and Rondo could begin deal talks as soon as today, league sources told ESPN. There's enthusiasm on both sides to try and work out an agreement, league sources said.
The Pelicans re-signed Jrue Holiday to a five-year, $126 million guaranteed deal that could be worth over $150 million-plus with incentives, but they remain intrigued by the possibility of shifting Holiday off the ball for large chunks of games, sources say.
