I think TxBamanut also stated something to the effect of KP has a fragile ego (me interjecting, similar to Monte Ellis) who seems to gravitate toward the negative. Put Rondo here and similar to the Ellis end here, Rondo could get in KP's head and create more than what is there. We should be weary of that IMO.
The big red flag I struggle to get past (other than my personal dislike of him based on his prior stint here) is that the guy's been on 6 different teams since his time with the Mavs, and none of them wanted to keep him around more than a single season outside of the Lakers who had him for two. The Hawks gave him a two year deal and traded him at the first opportunity, and the Clippers did the same thing after half a season.
It just seems like the dude brings so much negative energy that the juice isn't worth the squeeze, and I'm not sure that doing nothing would be a worse option than signing Rondo (but I'll be the first to admit that I am very biased against him since he's my least favorite player).
