Jabari Parker Officially Signs with Chicago Bulls on Two-Year, $40 Million Deal

Following the Chicago Bulls using most of last year to build a new identity, the team struck gold this weekend – officially inking Jabari Parker to a two-year deal. The contract is reportedly worth $40 million, with a team option in place if he gets injured again next season.

The versatile forward now joins the starting roster, as the Bulls are now looking to build for the immediate future. Last season, the team was plagued by injuries, with Zach LaVine missing most of the year to rehab his torn ACL after knee surgery. In that span, the team used time to help adjust international draft lottery pick Lauri Markkanen to the pace of the NBA – which was a success.

With no. 7 overall pick Wendell Carter Jr. also showing out in summer league play this month, the Baby Bulls have a nice young nucleus, if they can all stay healthy. For Jabari, his time in Milwaukee was over after they agreed to a deal with Brook Lopez and extended Ersan Ilyasova.

Let us know in the comments what you think of the move.

Chance the Rapper – Work Out / Wala Cam / I Might Need Security / 65th Ingleside

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Chance the Rapper was releasing an official album, before his pending 7-track collaborative effort with Kanye West. Well, Chance unfortunately debunked the story, saying that we weren’t getting an album this week; but said he was still in the studio. Luckily, Chano III kept his word and has blessed the public with four new songs for the summer. Here, you can listen to his new cuts: “ Work Out ” “ Wala Cam ” “ I Might Need Security ” and “ 65th Ingleside ” – serving as an appetizer to the full project later this year. Sorry no album this week, def been in the stu tho. 😎 — Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) July 17, 2018

JAY-Z Calls Out Philly Mayor Over ‘Made in America’ Move

JAY-Z has written an op-ed for the The Philadelphia Inquirer, after Philly mayor Jim Kenney stopped Made in America from taking place on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in 2019. “We are disappointed that the mayor of the city of Philadelphia would evict us from the heart of the city, through a media outlet, without a sit-down meeting, notice, dialogue, or proper communication,” JAY said. “It signifies zero appreciation for what Made In America has built alongside the phenomenal citizens of this city. In fact, this administration immediately greeted us with a legal letter trying to stop the 2018 event.”
