Buddy Hield Contract & Salary

Buddy Hield is on the books for $9,658,536 in 2026-27, the 7th largest cap hit on the Chicago Bulls roster and 5.9% of the team's $164.7M payroll.

That ranks 176th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 5.9% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $19,756,096 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $9,658,536 in the first year up to $10,097,560 in the last, a 5% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 player option.

The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.

At 33, he is on the far side of the aging curve, and the deal still has him on the books through age 34.

He is the 7th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Chicago Bulls' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $164,694,624.

Chicago Bulls sit at $164.7M in payroll and are currently classified Cap Space, with +$42.0M of room below the first apron.
