Utah Jazz Trade Rumors: Mike Conley trade, Ricky Rubio departure and more

#2 Bulls are interested in Ricky Rubio

Rubio will become an unrestricted free agent in the summer

Ricky Rubio was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the fifth pick of the 2009 draft, and the Spanish point-guard went on to spend six seasons with the team.

Ahead of the 17/18 season, Rubio was traded to the Jazz in exchange for a first-round draft pick, and in his first season in Utah, the 28-year-old enjoyed the best campaign of his career to date.

Nevertheless, Rubio will become an unrestricted free agent in the summer, and Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun Times is reporting that Rubio could be heading to the Bulls:

Multiple NBA sources have told the Sun-Times that not only have the Bulls been scouting veteran point guards as the Feb. 7 trade deadline approaches, but they are focusing on veteran point guards who are going to be free agents this offseason and deemed fiscally responsible for some summer shopping, headlined by Ricky Rubio

Injuries have hampered Rubio so far this season, although the point guard has still managed 47 appearances, averaging 12.9 points and 6.1 assists per game.
