The Cavaliers are in discussion to acquire Lakers guard Rajon Rondo, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The deal is expected to be complete by Friday, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Cleveland just lost veteran guard Ricky Rubio, who tore his ACL in his left knee, for the remainder of the season. Rondo, a strong veteran point guard, would help the Cavaliers in the absence of Rubio. They've also been without young star Collin Sexton, who suffered a meniscus tear on Nov. 7 and will miss the remainder of the season.
