Chicago Bulls add an interesting feature to 25-year-old PG contract: Report

Re-signing Jones to a three-year contract was a steal, as he has the potential to be a solid point guard in the NBA. However, according to Senior NBA Insider Michael Scotto, who issued an update on the terms of the deal, the Bulls have a “third-year team option” on Jones’s deal. In 18 games with the Bulls (nine starts), Jones averaged 25.3 minutes a game, 11.5 points, 1.1 steals, 4.9 assists, and 3.2 rebounds.

“Update: The Chicago Bulls have a third-year team option on their 3-year, $24 million deal with Tre Jones, sources told @hoopshype. He averaged 11.5 points on 57.2% shooting overall and 50% from 3PT range, 4.9 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 18 games (9 starts) for Chicago.”

Jones will be a valuable member of the Bulls for the 2025-2026 season

Jones should see his minutes increase for this upcoming season and possibly be the Bulls’ primary point guard. Josh Giddey was the Bulls’ primary facilitator, and he performed well. However, having Jones take over that role should help Giddey become a better scorer and help improve the offense as a whole.

The Bulls have a nice young core forming, with Jones being the latest member added to that group. Jones joins Giddey, Mara’s Buzelis, and Essengue as the Bulls’ youth and hope for the future. With the Eastern Conference looking to be easier to pass through next season, given some of the injuries to some teams, Jones and the Bulls could have a better chance at making a deep playoff run.
