Rajon Rondo Benched, Meets With Bulls GM About Future

The Rajon Rondo experiment in Chicago may be over before it really starts. With a healthy Michael Carter-Williams back in the Bulls rotation, Rondo has been glued to the bench and picked up a DNP-Coach’s Decision in last night’s blowout loss to the Bucks.
Following the game, Rondo made it sound like his days in Chicago may be coming to an end, telling ESPN that he and GM Gar Forman “will talk” and he will “absolutely” try and find a new team if he doesn’t get minutes:

“Gar and I will talk,” Rondo said. “We’re going to talk tonight and we’ll go from there.”
 
Rondo acknowledged that if the Bulls continue to keep him on the bench, he will speak to management about trying to find a new team.
 
“Absolutely,” he said.

Rondo acknowledged that he expected things to be different playing with Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler, but head coach Fred Hoiberg told him that he would be still be able to call his own plays:

“I’m coming off a pretty good year in Sacramento,” Rondo said. “I was able to do a little bit of things differently, but obviously I knew coming in here playing with Dwyane and Jimmy would be different. That was OK with me. Fred and I talked in the beginning, said I would be able to call a lot of the plays. But the flow of the game and throughout the season, things may change. Fred and I spoke earlier, and we talked about it.”

Since being traded from Boston in the 2014-15 season, the point guard has bounced around between Dallas, Sacramento and Chicago. He is averaging 7.2 points, 7.1 assists and 6.5 rebounds for the 16-18 Bulls. Earlier this season, he was suspended for “conduct detrimental to the team” after he reportedly threw a towel at an assistant coach.

if they try to trade him, who bites? at this point hes a bad fit on any team because of his attitude

 

[Hurricane Season]

Should have never been signed in the first place.
 
"Younger and more athletic"
 
Incompetent front office.

 

[buzzy]

Kind of a miracle how effective he was in Boston

 

[elcheato]

All Rondo needs is 3 Hall of Famers, it's an easy formula. 

 

[Hurricane Season]

Sorry ass Bulls can't even get 2 hall of famers.

 

[Paulius]

Fucking waive his ass , mcw 10 times better than this bitch

 

[Mexi]

No room for guys who cant shoot anymore unless theyre elite defenders

Idk what happens to rubio either

Maybe if he masters the midrange he could be the new livy

Keep saying Hardwood Paroxysm say on twitter that he'd be a good fit in Golden State but I don't see that... at all lol

 

[cavsfan817]

This man was talked about as an MVP candidate one year in Boston lmaoooo

 

[AiRuPtHeRe]

Dude has fallen off a Cliff since leaving Boston. Shame cause his style of play was fun to watch.

 

[Dannyboy77]

What a bum. MCW is a lot better for the time being.
 
To the constant idiots who bash the front office with the "younger and more athletic" comments really need to stfu. What were we gonna sign? Allan Crabbe? Bulls tried a 1 year experiment and it failed. By the way this roster is full of young guys and very favorable contracts. MCW, Valentine (if he can stay healthy, Doug (please give him the ball more). Just sayin. The team wasn't going anywhere this year anyways. Package him with a first and prospect or two and get a legit role guy or solid starter.

 

[Pugz]

i dont think the bulls can afford to trade away and first round picks. hoard them all for the time being.

No point to hoard if they're gonna be 14-20 overall. Those are role players usually. And we have several. Idk it's weird to judge this team. No clear direction.

 

[buzzy]

Some people argue that next pick could be anywhere between 1 and 14. 

 

[Pugz]

hoard because they are actually worse than they look. take the chance. no point in trading it in a package for a player who doesnt move the needle.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Some people argue that next pick could be anywhere between 1 and 14. 

And one boy is certain the pick will be in the 15-17 range.

 

[Mexi]

I feel like his career is over
But that just sounds so drastic
