Okay, so I kept hearing chatter about Coby White and his money situation over with the Bulls. You know how it goes, a guy has a good stretch of games, or maybe it’s just the offseason talk heating up, and next thing you know, everyone’s asking, “What’s his contract look like?” I figured I’d take a look myself.
Digging into the Details
First step, pretty simple really, I just went online. Fired up the old browser and punched in something like “Coby White contract” or “Bulls Coby White deal”. You always get a ton of pages thrown back at you – sports sites, news articles, sometimes just fan talk.
I usually scroll past the loud headlines, the ones trying too hard. I was looking for the actual numbers, the years, the solid info. You tend to see the same figures reported by the more reliable sources, the guys who actually cover the league closely. Took a few clicks, read a couple of short pieces.
Here’s the gist of what I found:
- It was an extension he signed. So, the Bulls kept him around before he could hit the open market.
- The length seemed pretty consistent across reports: three years.
- The money part landed around $33 million guaranteed. Saw some mentions it could go up to $40 million if he hit certain goals, you know, incentives and stuff.
My Thoughts on the Whole Thing
So, after poking around for maybe 10-15 minutes, I felt like I had the basics down. Three years, decent chunk of change but not superstar money. Felt pretty fair, actually. Coby, he’d shown real promise, had some ups and downs like any young player, but really seemed to find his footing more recently.
From the Bulls’ side, it looked like a smart bet. They’re paying him based on that improvement but not overpaying just yet. If he keeps getting better, that contract looks real good for them down the line. If he stays kinda where he is, it’s not a deal that sinks the ship.
And for Coby? Man, getting that guaranteed money must feel good. Going from a draft pick, trying to prove yourself, dealing with role changes… locking in that kind of security for three years? That’s a win. Sets him and his family up.
It wasn’t rocket science finding the info. Just needed to filter out the noise and piece together the common facts reported by folks who know their stuff. Years, guaranteed cash, potential bonuses. Seemed like a deal that made sense for everyone involved. Just thought I’d share how I tracked down the info this time. Simple stuff, really.
