The Bulls picked up contract options on Jimmy Butler and Marquis Teague on Wednesday.
Signing Butler to his fourth-year option was a no-brainer, given that the 30th overall pick in the 2011 draft will make just over $2 million in 2014-15 and has seized the starting shooting guard position.
Picking up Teague's third-year option proved a more difficult choice but Teague’s $1.12 million option is only roughly $250,000 over a league minimum deal.
