After just meeting with the Bulls in Chicago last Friday, the unrestricted free agent point guard is now officially a Chicago Bull. Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated released the news via Twitter:
Bulls to sign guard Rajon Rondo to a two-year, $28 million deal, he confirmed to @TheUndefeated.— Marc J. Spears (@MarcJSpearsESPN) July 3, 2016
"I'm excited. Great organization with pieces around me that I'm excited about," @RajonRondo told @TheUndefeated about going to @chicagobulls— Marc J. Spears (@MarcJSpearsESPN) July 3, 2016
The Bulls agreed to sign Rondo in a $28 million worth of a two-year deal, according to ESPN.com and NBA.com. Rondo has been doing great lately for the past season with the Sacramento Kings, after leading the NBA in assists with 11.7, in addition to that, he also averaged 11.7 points and six rebounds. As a point guard, he was a stat-sheet stuffer. He made 37 double-doubles and six triple-doubles.
Although, there have been also problems with Rondo's attitude. Last season, Rondo was suspended after he targeted a referee by using a homophobic slur. He also clashed with different coaches, Rick Carlisle of Dallas Mavericks and Doc Rivers, who was still coaching with the Celtics at that time.
Chicago did a right move in trading Rose, but we can't still conclude if Rondo will be able to mesh with Chicago Bulls' coach Fred Hoiberg, who has an easy-going personality.
After all, Rondo said that he is excited to work with the Bulls. Let's just wait on the things he will bring to the table for the upcoming NBA season.
