New Benny, and Other changes (Bulls offseason)

[SpongeWorthy]

Rondo's a douchebag but this is a pretty good deal.

[Sammy Sofa]

Rondo signed 2/28

There was no logical reason for the Bulls to sign Rondo.

 

The front office is doing their best to drive away the fanbase, though.

I look at it this way, it won't drive away the casual fan who will be like "omg rondo I remember him great job GarPax". The die hards will expect this to fail and will hope it fails so badly the Bulls get a good pick and GarPax is fired. And then there's a small 1% sliver of a chance that against all logic it will work.

Isn't one of the central parts of Hoiball to have everyone shoot well from outside? I really haven't paid much attention the past couple years, to be honest. Signing one of my least favorite players in the NBA won't help that at all.

The good news is that Rondo can't shoot from anywhere on the floor

Another big part of Hoiball is transition offense and Rondo blew the league away in assists in transition. So there's that. It's a good deal. And only 2 years. So I'm okay with it.

Solid upgrade at the PG position.

[David]

I hate him but this is far from a bad move in terms of basketball

[Derwood]

In this year's salary environment, he's basically free

Eh all I've read about him is that he's ball dominant (jimmy won't like) sells out for assists gambles on defense and isn't actually all that good anymore defensively and every single coach he's had going back to high school has had issues with him.

[Ryne Ween]

Watching Rondo and Jimmy completely disregard Hoiberg will be fun.

[Andy]

Screw Rondo.

[WrigleyField 22]

Sounds like year two is a mutual option, so this is really a one year commitment. It also brings them right around the salary floor I believe. So they may still shop Taj and MDJ a little or if any interesting flyers are left after the craziness, bring on another guy, but this is probably the roster.

 

Rondo-Grant-Calderon

Butler-Valentine-Snell-Dinwiddie

McDermott-MDJ-Zipser

Mirotic-Gibson-Portis

Lopez-Felicio

[Derwood]

If this is the way they're going, horsefeathers it, get Wade

[Sammy Sofa]

Rondo is a gross bridge troll who has sucked 2 of the last 3 seasons. This couldn't be more of a meh signing.

This is kinda like the Cubs signing Edmonds except I doubt he will be as awesome and even if he is it won't matter because it's the NBA. I don't watch the Kings ever. Is he still at least decent at defense. Him and Butlers defense at the guard position interests me if so.

[Sammy Sofa]

Literally the only thing Rondo and Edmonds have in common is unlikability and brought to a Chicago team when theoretically their careers should be all but done. Edmonds could play; Rondo was an overrated hump at best.

That's a lot of what I meant. I hated Edmonds and hate Rondo and now they play for my team. I'd be shocked if Rondo wins me over.

Edmonds put up -0.7 WAR in the year and a half before coming to the Cubs.

[Sammy Sofa]

I was talking about their careers.

Lopez looks like the horsefeathering Encino Man. horsefeathers, hes from that area too
