The Chicago Bulls have made it official: Reigning MVP Derrick Rose has agreed to a five-year contract extension. The extension, which kicks in next season, was announced Wednesday. The contract is worth $94.8 million, a source told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher on Tuesday. The extension was hardly a surprise given all that Rose has accomplished in his young career. The Chicago native has gone from Rookie of the Year to All-Star to MVP in his first three pro seasons, becoming the youngest player to win the MVP award. About the only thing he doesn't have is a championship ring, and that's something he hopes to change in Year 4. "We're all very excited for him," forward Carlos Boozer said. "He deserves it. He puts in a lot of effort. I wish the contract was for 10 years." Read more: http://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/stor...lls-announce-five-year-extension-derrick-rose
Hey there's nothing in the world easier than spending OPM but the Bulls did the right thing here for sure.
