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.
