Patrick Williams says he wants to remain a Chicago Bull for the foreseeable future

Patrick Williams’ place in the rotation may be a little murky now, in large part, due to his subpar performances in the early goings of the season. However, he made clear where he wants to play basketball in Chicago.

“I love it. I love it here. I love the city, I love the team. I love what we’re about. We’re about winning. There’s no gimmicks. There’s no moral victories over here. Obviously, I love it,” Williams said.

Contract extension

Williams’ future with the Bulls has been called into question after the young forward’s representatives and the team’s front office failed to reach an agreement on the extension of his rookie contract. However, the former fourth overall pick of the NBA Draft is taking it all in stride, saying he’s not focused on his next contract but rather helping the Bulls win more games.

“I’ve never been good at the business of basketball. It really hasn’t been much of an importance of mine up until this point. But obviously, this is how I feed my family. Obviously, I want a big contract. I think that’s what I work for and I think it’s what I’m worth. But whenever it comes, it comes,” Williams said.

“I’m not 100 percent going to say this summer or next summer or whenever it may be. I go out and hoop and try to win games. My main focus now is helping this team get over the next hump and myself over that hump.”
