The five-year deal keeps the guard in Chicago after producing an
average 24.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game last
season, helping the Bulls to the post season for the first time
since 2017.

moves that included All-Star Bradley Beal agreeing on a
five-year maximum contract worth $251 million to stay with the
Washington Wizards Thursday and back-to-back MVP Jokic's deal.
The Serbian and four-time All-Star agreed to the largest
contract in league history after a blockbuster season in which
he averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game.
