ANALYSIS: After helping the Lakers secure their 17th championship, Rajon Rondo is expected to command free-agent interest from across the league and the Lakers likely do not have the budget to pay Rondo what other teams are willing to. Recently acquired Dennis Schroder will try to fill the void of Rajon Rondo for the Lakers second unit.
