Adrian Wojnarowski

of 'Yahoo! Sports' has revealed the agreement reached between the

Chicago Bulls

and

Jimmy Butler

so that the shooting guard continues to be linked to the franchise that drafted him in 2011 with the number 30. Now, after his first four seasons in the NBA, the time has come for the Marquette University graduate to sign his first big professional contract:

$95 million over five years

(although other sources mention a amount of $90 million). The maximum, although the player has a

Player Option at the end of the fourth year

to terminate it.

This new contract reflects the last great season completed by Butler in which he won the award for

Most Improved Player

and played in his

first All Star Game

In addition, over time, it can be seen that he made the right decision to reject the extension of $44 million over four years offered to him from Illinois in October 2014. Butler is a key piece in the future of the Bulls, as expressed by

Pau Gasol

in a recent interview with

AS

.

A few hours earlier, in Chicago, they also closed the

renewal of Mike Dunleavy

Despite the interest of the Cavaliers, the small forward has opted for the

$14.4 million over three seasons

(the last one not guaranteed) that Chicago has offered him.
