Chicago Bulls: 5 reasons they should keep Rajon Rondo

Now that the Chicago Bulls have decided to hit the reset button, will they cut ties with Rajon Rondo? Here are five reasons why they should keep the veteran point guard.

When the Chicago Bulls signed Rajon Rondo last summer, it was deemed as a questionable move at best. This was partly because of how Rondo carried himself in his previous two stops.

He and Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle didn’t exactly see eye-to-eye on things, which resulted in Rondo being benched in Game 2 of a first round playoff series against the Houston Rockets back in 2015.

Rondo didn’t see in any playing time for the rest of that series.

This unfortunate trend continued during his lone season with the Sacramento Kings. He often clashed with former coach George Karl and was suspended after targeting an official with an anti-gay slur.

Taking those factors into consideration, it is understandable why this move was questioned in some circles. While Rondo did have his fair share of memorable moments with the Bulls during the 2016-17 campaign, here is a look at five reasons why they should consider making his $13.4 million contract fully guaranteed for next season.
