Updated · 2026-27 season

Norman Powell is on the books for $21,500,000 in 2026-27, the 3rd largest cap hit on the Chicago Bulls roster and 13.1% of the team's $164.7M payroll.

That ranks 86th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 13.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $44,075,000 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $21,500,000 in the first year up to $22,575,000 in the last, a 5% rise across the deal.

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

The option year belongs to the team, which makes that season a decision point rather than a commitment: it can be picked up cheaply or declined outright.

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 one of the three highest-paid players on the roster, which puts him in the group the payroll is actually built around.

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.
