The Bulls sign Jabari Parker for a $ 40 million two-year contract

It is official. Jabari Parker returns home

The former star of Simeon High has verbally agreed to sign a two-year $ 40 million deal with the Bulls after the Bucks have striven to cancel their bid qualifying. This made Parker an unrestricted free agent and allowed the Bulls to negotiate with him without signing him on an offer sheet.

The Bulls discussed with Parker's agent, Mark Bartelstein, based in Chicago. He and his agency also represent Bobby Portis and first-round pick Chandler Hutchison

The Bulls were interviewed and did not confirm or deny whether or not they had made a promise to Hutchison and his agency to select it at # 22 In last month's NBA draft, Hutchison retired from the NBA draft and did not work for the teams.

Parker, who led Simeon to four championships in a row, also told people that he would rather play for the Bulls, joining his home team with a younger core of players. Parker, 23, has averaged 15.3 points in four seasons, resulting in twice his left ACL tear.
