Free agent guard Rajon Rondo and guard-forward Marco Belinelli reached contract agreements with the Sacramento Kings on Friday, according to multiple reports.
Rondo agreed to a one-year, $9.5 million contract, ESPN reported. Belinelli's three-year deal was projected to be worth $19 million.
The 29-year-old Rondo joins the Kings after a brief stint with the Dallas Mavericks last season that included a one-game suspension following an altercation with coach Rick Carlisle. He left the team during Game 2 of a first-round playoff loss to the Houston Rockets with what was announced as a back injury but later discovered to be a mutual parting.
A four-time All-Star, Rondo enjoyed success with the Boston Celtics, who won an NBA title and played in the finals during his 8 1/2 years with the team. He led the league in assists twice while in Boston and has career averages of 10.8 points, 8.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game. He suffered a serious knee injury in 2013.
The 29-year-old Belinelli averaged 9.2 points and 2.5 rebounds and shot 37.4 percent on 3-pointers last season for the San Antonio Spurs but missed 20 games because of injuries. The previous season, Belinelli averaged 11.4 points and made 43.0 percent of his 3-point shots in 80 games.
After the Spurs lost to the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals in 2013, Belinelli signed a two-year contract. The seven-year veteran made $2.8 million last season and was seeking more money in free agency.
Belinelli's career averages with Golden State, Toronto, New Orleans, Chicago and the Spurs are 9.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 502 regular-season games.
