That ranks 104th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 10.9% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $54,000,000 in guaranteed money.

Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 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 25, the deal covers his age-25 through age-27 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.
He is the 4th 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.
