Getting Paid

The Bulls is a big franchise and pays well to its players performing well. Since the Late 90's when Jordan was in  his prime, the bulls have paid players really well if they are performing well. Scottie Pippen and Micheal Jordan were some of the highest paid athletes on the bulls back in the 90's but if they were to hear the figures the bulls are giving out now they would have love to still be playing. These two super stars at the end of there wonderful career were each pulling in 30 million a year. They were getting paid this much because they are consider to be the greatest duo in sports. There has been debate that Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig could be better but its up for you to decide. Derrick Rose is a prime example of getting paid on the bulls. After his rookie contract expired the bulls extended there contract with him and also playing him a tremendous amount of 94.8 million dollars over the next five years. Talk about pulling in the millions. He on average excluding taxes and all that junk he would be getting roughly 18.9 million dollars a year to play basketball. If you were to break that down monthly, Derrick is being paid about 1.5 million dollars a month. Now i know some might think that this is just over kill to pay an athlete this much money but when you think of the money he brings in to Chicago and how almost everyone is a D-Rose fan then it all makes sense. Carlos Boozer is also another player on the Bulls who is getting paid pretty well. He got a five year contract with the bulls for 75 million dollars and hes not even close to being as good as D-Rose. I agree with most people Boozer is over paid because in clutch moments he is usually not able to perform.
