Rondo Agrees to Deal with Bulls

Sunday, July 3

Rondo confirmed he has agreed to a two-year, $28 million deal with the Chicago Bulls, per Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated.

On Friday, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune, citing sources, reported that Rondo sat down with the Bulls.


Rondo Not Expected to Return to Kings

Sunday, July 3

SacBee.com's Jason Jones cited league sources on Saturday when reporting that the Sacramento Kings "don't intend to re-sign" Rondo.

Spears reported on Friday that the Kings were interested in bringing back Rondo.


76ers, Pelicans Linked to Rondo

Friday, July 1

Spears reported the Philadelphia 76ers and potentially New Orleans Pelicans are interested in Rondo. Spears noted Pelicans star Anthony Davis is "a Rondo fan."


Rondo to Meet with Brooklyn

Thursday, June 30

The Brooklyn Nets appear to be interested in Rondo, as the two sides will meet when free agency begins on Friday, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post

The Nets have a hole at point guard, as the team waived Jarrett Jack on Thursday. Brooklyn is in a good position to land Rondo, one of the best free-agent point guards on the market, since the 30-year-old is hoping to go to a major market, per Lewis

Rondo may not have the same type of success in Brooklyn as he found with Sacramento. The Nets have no real scoring threats outside of Brook Lopez, who averaged 20.6 points a year ago. Joe Johnson is no longer with the team, and the Nets traded Thaddeus Young to the Indiana Pacers before this year's NBA draft. 


Rondo Looking to Build On Bounce-Back Season

After a disappointing stint with Dallas in the 2014-15 season, Rondo experienced a career revitalization with the Kings, averaging 11.9 points and a league-leading 11.7 assists per game last year. He also hit a career-high 36.5 percent of this threes.  

Rondo can still dish the rock, but he is not a legitimate scorer. Still, he can help lead the Bulls' offense after the departure of Derrick Rose.
