Chicago Bulls Re-Sign Nikola Mirotic As A Core Member For A Rebuild
Nikola Mirotic signs an agreement to remain with the Chicago Bulls. The news of Mirotic’s contract signing was announced just hours prior to the news that the Bulls made the decision to buyout superstar guard Dwyane Wade, according to Bleacher Report.
The move to keep Nikola Mirotic sends a clear message that he has the opportunity to be part of the Chicago Bulls’ rebuilding process. If he can attribute himself well as the Bulls’ top offensive options, Mirotic could become the long-term fixture the franchise envisioned him to be when they traded for him in the 2011 NBA draft.
According to Slam Online, the Chicago Bulls and Nikola Mirotic agreed on a two-year, $27 million deal. The Bulls protected themselves by making the second year of Mirotic’s contract a team option. This season the Bulls will give the fourth-year forward an opportunity to audition for a spot as a core player.
