Reports have Gafford signing rookie deal with Bulls

Daniel Gafford had a good summer league debut Friday night and, according to reports, it has paid off with a $6.1 million, deal that has a couple of years guaranteed.

League sources have told Shams Charania of The Athletic about the deal.

Of the total deal just over $2.4 million is guaranteed. Reports say the Bulls will use cap room to make it a four-year deal, with yearly salaries likely to be set at $898,310, $1,517,981, $1,782,621 and $1,930,681.

Gafford scored 21 points, had 10 rebounds and four blocks in Chicago’s 96-76 win over the Lakes in the summer league opener Friday night that didn’t include a lot of big-name established players.
