Rajon Rondo signs one-year, $3.3 million deal with the Pelicans

Rajon Rondo officially signed his one-year, $3.3 million contract with the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, a source confirmed.
The Vertical was the first to report the deal.
Rondo agreed to a deal with the Pelicans last Saturday, but the terms of the deal were not disclosed until Wednesday.

Rondo, an 11-year veteran, played 69 games with the Chicago Bulls last season and averaged 7.8 points, 6.7 assists and 5.1 rebounds.
The four-time All-Star adds his skills as a floor general to the New Orleans backcourt, and Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said on Tuesday that he plans on starting Rondo and point guard Jrue Holiday together to begin the season.
Holiday signed a five-year, $126 million deal this offseason that put the Pelicans over the salary cap, but New Orleans will use part of its mid-level exception to add Rondo.
The Pelicans are also expected to use part of their mid-level exception to add rookie guard Frank Jackson and forward Darius Miller to the roster.
According to ESPN, Rondo's deal leaves the Pelicans $486,000 below the luxury tax.
During Gentry's interview with the "Dunc & Holder" show on Tuesday, he said the Pelicans are still actively looking for players to add to the roster and bringing in perimeter shooting is among the team's top priorities.
