The Bulls have found a replacement for Derrick Rose in the form of Rajon Rondo. Chicago signed the enigmatic former Sacramento point guard to a 2-year, $28 million (there are conflicting reports that say he got $30 million) contract.
Rondo led the NBA in assists per game last season with 11.7, but earned himself a suspension after hurling a homophobic slur at referee Bill Kennedy.
