That’s too much. I’m sorry.

Hopefully this pays off like the Coby deal

I expected him to get 4/$80 million so not bad. Still needs to earn it.
Let’s see if with DeMar likely gone and LaVine also possibly gone he can take the next step
rhovickkkkkk
with how the contracts are inflated now, this is a good value in the long run

That Patrick Williams???
Brad-Stevens
Coby/Ayo/Giddey/PatWill/Buzelis
If the Bulls didn’t fuck up the Lavine and Vuc contracts they could actually be cooking up something but alas…
The_Living_L
With the way contracts are that could be a great deal, wanted raps to go after him but looks like bulls are heading for a rebuild so doesn’t make sense to move on from him
JoJonesy
Huh. That’s… I mean $18m/yr isn’t *that* much for a young player who’s shown some potential but hasn’t really put it together, but I wasn’t expecting a *five-year deal*
At the very least it’s not comically bad, which for the Bulls FO is a step up. Certainly *could* end up being a steal, the guy’s only 22, and if he doesn’t become a good NBA player I don’t think it’s enough money to become an albatross either
SourBerry1425
I know people aren’t big on him, but I think this could become one of the best contracts in the league possibly.
iro3
thats cheap and not bad
hopefully terry plays next year tho lol
aligreaper19
we are in a world where a player like pat williams can make $90 million dollars
transizzle
I’m not sure you can overpay a wing when every one of them has a 9 figure contract these days
bullpaw
W pat’s gonna be really good I havent given up hope like half of chicago
paranoidmoonduck
Patrick Williams has played 213 NBA games and has scored 20+ points in 10 of them.
AllTheHolloway
There’s a world where this looks like an amazing steal of a contract in 2 years. And even worst case scenario for his development, I’d only see it as mildly bad contract for a team that won’t be contending in the next five years anyway.
whitefang0824
18M per year for the next 5 yrs is already a big win
TraMaI
Just need a couple of young bigs to really round out the youth movement. Sanogo re-signing is a start, Dalen has shown potential. We move off of Zach and Vuc and I like where we are as a rebuilding squad honestly. Lots of young players with lots of upside, project players and on very good deals to see where they go.
MN-Jess
Good gamble
That’s a great contract if he can take the things he does well to the next level. From a good defender to a great one. Upping his volume on 3s while maintaining his percentage.
If he stagants, its a slight overpay. Nothing that can’t be moved.
Paw_Opina
Are the Bulls tanking?
Earl-Thomas-a-Raven
Like the player and the profile of what he could be but man, it’s a lot for a guy that is constantly hurt and hasn’t showed much.
On the flip side, it could be great value in a few years. It’s truly a 50/50 but the Bulls are a million miles away from winning anything so might as well lock down young talent, they’ll have to reach the cap floor somehow if they manage to get off the Vuc and LaVine deals.
ThatBull_cj
He’s done nothing in the NBA and always hurt but he does have good size and some talent, it’s possible this could be a value contract in a couple years
Phenomenal2313
DeMar’s most probably gone , that’s about 24-27ppg that’s missing
If Pat can score even 17-18ppg , that’s a huge win for Chicago
ygog45
He’s gonna be the next Aaron Gordon / PJ Washington esque player to get traded to a contender
GhostOfJiriWelsch
Man if he can get it together this becomes an absolute steal of a contract
Even if he just takes another small leap or two, $18M isn’t even close to what it used to be.
gf2020
No one really noting that this is also the initial report, most favorable to the player/agent. There’s a chance this is even less money if it includes incentives or trade kickers.
But as a Bulls fan, I love the deal. It’s better than that awful Deandre Hunter contract the Hawks gave out and that was in the old cap environment.

This is going to be an absolute steal of a contract
airmagswag
So weird seeing somewhat normal numbers. I’m still in the mindset of
Perennial all star: 28-35m
Fringe all star: 15-20m
Promising young player: 10-14m
Rookie: 6-9m
tugnuggetss
I like this deal and I will continue to root for the Paw
FickleFred
Pat is a long athletic wing that shoots over 40% from 3 and is a versatile defender. Hes shown flashes of a great offensive tools he just had a timid mentality and also has been like 5th fiddle behind Demar, Zach, vuc, and Coby. Hes also only 22. I think this is a great deal and expect to see him take the next step offensively but even if he remains strictly a 3 and d roleplayer wing, this contract will be good value. Hes been a disappointment primarily because he was over drafted and the roster hasn’t been a great fit for him to expand his offensive duties and grow his passive mindset with the vets.
Zorak9379
I like something this front office did.
Weird.
Anibunnymilli
Everyone getting shiny new deals
StefonDiggsHS
18mil isn’t that terrible for him, worst comes to worst he’s easy to move
CarcosaBound
Crazy money in the NBA, but this a solid contract.
$18M per year is about 13% of the soft cap this coming season and will be around 6-7% at the end of the deal. Even if he doesn’t develop much and just ends up being a rotation guy, it’s not gonna fuck our books up. If he makes the leap, the contract is a steal for the front office
Win-win. Rather have young guys with upside getting paid while we tank. If we’re really cleaning house, we’re gonna be taking bad contracts w/picks just to hit the spending floor.
MuletownSoul
I don’t hate this? What an odd feeling.
livelaughloaft
Always kinda forgot how young he still is, 4 seasons in the league turning 23 this summer
newvpnwhodis
Here’s hoping he can stay healthy.

Chicago finally rebuilding good to see
dawnofthedunk_
This is a good contract. Fair value. Good work.

This extension is essential for the tank. At least we can pretend we developing players for the time being ✌️
