Bobby Marks ESPN
Here are the salary cap implications for the Bulls on the Jabari Parker contract: Chicago will need to renounce Noah Vonleh, David Nwaba and waive Paul Zipser and Julyan Stone to create the $20M in room to sign Parker. The Bulls will be right at the cap and have the $4.5M room midlevel exception available. For 2019-20, Chicago still has $17M in room that takes into account the free agent holds of Cameron Payne ($9.8M), Bobby Portis ($7.5M) and $20M team option of Jabari Parker.
Sources: Parker's Bulls deal worth $20M annually
Chicago native Jabari Parker is returning to his hometown after signing a two-year, $40 million deal with the Bulls, according to sources.
