Rajon Rondo has returned to All-Star form this season, and teams around the league have taken notice.
The New York Knicks, who host the Sacramento Kings on Sunday at Madison Square Garden, seem particularly interested in the soon-to-be free-agent point guard.
Not only is interim Knicks head coach Kurt Rambis reportedly "high on" Rondo's abilities to run New York's triangle offense, but Knicks GM Steve Mills is said to have met with Rondo's agent Billy Duffy, according to Marc Berman of the New York Post.

Knicks star Carmelo Anthony has openly expressed interest in Rondo as well, and the point guard himself has backtracked on his past criticism of the triangle, per the Post's Ryan Lazo.
“I had a comment earlier about it, but if I put my mind at it, I think I can be good at anything,” Rondo told the Post.
Rondo was also very complimentary of New York's home floor.

“It’s one of those arenas ... Madison Square Garden is the mecca of basketball, so it’s always great going there," Rondo said.
The Kings were able to lock up Rondo on a one-year, $9.5-million deal for 2015-16, but the 10-year vet is expected to field significant multi-year offers this summer.
