The Chicago Bulls have reportedly found their Derrick Rose replacement.
The Bulls have signed point guard Rajon Rondo to a two-year deal worth $28 million, according to Marc J. Spears of the Undefeated.

Rondo is coming off a one-year stint in Sacramento, where he averaged a double double in the form of 11.9 points and 11.7 assists per game. He’s a ready-made Rose replacement for a Bulls team that doesn’t appear willing to commit to a full rebuild. A backcourt pairing of Rondo and Jimmy Butler is dynamic and talented, but one wonders how they’ll both get enough touches to be successful and happy.
Rondo had interest from the Brooklyn Nets as well, but after they signed Jeremy Lin, it turned out to be Chicago or bust for the veteran point guard.
