    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Restricted free agent forward/center Tyson Chandler and the Chicago Bulls have agreed to a long-term contract, the team announced Thursday.Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

    "We're very happy that we have come to terms with Tyson and that he will remain a member of the Chicago Bulls, " executive vice president of basketball operations John Paxson said. "Tyson's play last season was an important factor to our success and we hope to take the next step forward with Tyson being a major contributor to our team. He is fully aware of our commitment to him and he understands his responsibility to the organization, our front office and his teammates."

    "I'm ecstatic that this contract is done," Chandler said. "To know that I will be in Chicago for the next six years is definitely a dream. Since I've been in Chicago, the city has been my home and it feels so good to go home."

    "This is the outcome we were working toward, Chicago is a great city and John is taking the team in the right direction. I am thrilled for Tyson to begin the next chapter of his career with the Bulls," Chandler's agent, Jeff Schwartz, said. </div>

    Great to hear that Chandler is coming back. He was a huge part of the team last year and was great when Curry went down. Hopefully he can improve upon his play this year and help the Bulls be even better.

    From what I've heard, the deal is worth about 75 Million Dollars. If it's true, then that's unbelievable.
