Nikola Mirotic finally has his new deal from the Chicago Bulls. Just a day before the opening of training camp, Mirotic agreed to a two-year, $27 million deal, according to The Vertical’s Shams Charania and other media reports. The second year of the deal is a team option, meaning Niko has the right to veto any trade in the first year of the contract.
Even as the summer dragged on and Mirotic didn’t have a new contract, most people figured he’d be back in Chicago. Both sides were open about a desire to get a deal done, and Mirotic spent the offseason working out at the Bulls’ facilities.
