The Chicago Bulls have signed Jabari Paker this afternoon. Parker, who is coming off of his second torn ACL, is looking for a fresh start and what a better place than sweet home Chicago.
Free agent forward Jabari Parker has agreed to a two-year, $40M deal with the Chicago Bulls, league sources tell ESPN. Milwaukee rescinded Parker's qualifying offer moments ago, making him unrestricted.

Can confirm Bulls are on verge of signing Jabari Parker. As of now, Bulls don't know if Bucks are renouncing him or they'll need to sign him to offer sheet. Either way, it's close.

Though the two torn ACL’s are a scare, Jabari is only 23 years-old and hopefully can improve and fit in with this Bulls offense.
