The graphic above shows the distribution of salaries between every player on the Chicago Bulls. The biggest salary belongs to Otto Porter jr., who has only played 9 games this season. After trading for Porter last season, the Bulls had high hopes for the small forward. Unfortunately, Porter continues to struggle to stay healthy, constantly working with doctors to get back on the court. Now, the Bulls are paying for that, literally.
The second largest salary belongs to their best player, Zach LaVine. Coming off ACL recovery and a sluggish season, the Bulls were able to sign Zach to an affordable contract, despite having all-star talent.
Many of the other players have affordable contracts as well. This is because most of them are still on their rookie contracts. Being one of the youngest teams in the league definitely has its benefits.
