Jalen Smith agreed Monday with the Chicago Bulls on a three-year, $27 million contract. 

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN first reported the signing. 

After declining his $5.42 million player option for 2024-25 on Friday, Smith will get a slight bump in salary for the upcoming season plus two extra years on his deal as he heads to Chicago. 

Smith will slot in as the Bulls' new backup center behind starter Nikola Vucevic, after Andre Drummond struck an agreement with the 76ers on Sunday. 

Though he occasionally found himself outside of coach Rick Carlisle's rotation in Indiana in 2023-24, Smith served as Myles Turner's primary backup and was productive on a per-minute basis, averaging 9.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks in 17.2 minutes per contest over 61 regular-season appearances. 

His spot in Chicago's rotation should be more stable with fewer challengers for the top backup center job, though Smith may not see a dramatic uptick in playing time with the Bulls so long as Vucevic stays healthy.

Adam Sanogo has agreed to sign a two-way contract with the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. 

Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reported the signing. 

After going unselected in the 2023 NBA Draft, Sanogo spent the 2023-24 season on a two-way deal with the Bulls and appeared in only nine regular-season NBA games. 

The 23-year-old will remain on a two-way pact for 2024-25 and will likely spend most of his time in the G League when the Bulls' frontcourt is at full health.
