NBA Trade Rumors: 5 Stars Guaranteed To Stay Put At Deadline

Rajon Rondo, PG – Chicago Bulls

At this point in his career, Rajon Rondo just can’t seem to find a long-term home. After eight seasons with the Boston Celtics, he spent one year apiece with the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings before landing with the Chicago Bulls this offseason.

Now, as it turns out, Rondo may not even last the full season in the Windy City.

The latest from the Chicago-Sun confirms the Bulls are actively shopping Rondo after a disappointing first half of the 2016-17 campaign. Not only has Chicago struggled in the win-loss columns, but the bipolar point guard also appears to be going through somewhat of a meltdown.

Since heading to the bench, Rondo has become an afterthought for the Bulls. Head coach Fred Hoiberg appears hesitant to give him significant minutes, and the veteran is doing little when he does actually see the court. In January, Rondo has averaged 3.9 points, 4.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 34 percent from the field.

So why won’t Rondo be traded before the deadline? Because no one is going to give the Bulls a decent offer for a wildly inconsistent 30-year-old point guard. Rondo’s trade value is so low right now, there’s simply no reasonable market for him.
