The Milos Teodosic to the Chicago Bulls rumor started even before the Jimmy Butler trade. It didn’t make sense then and it made less sense after the Bulls finally decided to blow it up and rebuild. Luckily, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune is here to share some common sense on the ridiculous rumor.
If you have no clue who Milos Teodosic is, join the club, but apparently he’s an excellent passer. I looked him up when the first report came out from EuroHoops.net, connecting the Bulls to Teodosic and guess what, he’s 30-years-old!
The sad thing is that despite his age and the Bulls already having Rajon Rondo on the team (at the time of the original report) and before the team deciding to rebuild, it would actually be the perfect GarPax move. Sign this 30-year-old point guard who’s played in Europe and team him up with the alphas.
But, Jimmy Butler was traded and the course was set. The rebuild is on and leading the way is point guard Kris Dunn. Despite the Butler trade, the Teodosic to the Bulls rumor kept on going as late as Thursday. Tony Jones, who covers the Utah Jazz for the Salt Lake Tribune, tweeted this.

Remember, during this time we all knew that the Bulls were about to waive Rajon Rondo, which they eventually did on Friday, and yet they were going to go after another 30-year-old point guard?
K.C.! Bring us some sanity.
The Bulls aren't involved in the Milos Teodosic talks, per source. This is a rebuild. All about the young players.

Bulls fans, forget what happened last summer, this team isn’t signing any aging players to play any significant roles. We’re going to see a lot of all the young Bulls, so going after a 30-year-old point guard isn’t on the wish list right now.
Anyway, this Milos guy, has bust written all over him.
Mark it down, bust.
